We had breakfast with Becky. She needs to be at work at 1:00, so it was nice to have the morning with her. We had coffee, of course! Earla ate smart - an English muffin with peanut butter and a pear. I opted for the cinnamon roll --- and, of course, a banana for Charley. We relaxed together w\and chatted and just generally had a down morning. After Becky left for work, we did manage to get two loads of laundry done, had some left over chicken and toast for lunch and played a couple of games of Scrabble. I'll just say that my luck ran out today!!!
When the girls came home from school and after homework, Megan played a game of Scrabble with us. She, naturally, taught us how it is done. No more playing with a nine year old!
Then, we played Chute-5 with Abigail. Abegail was the only one who really understood the game which is a form of Yatzee, but Earla won anyway --- this would be the meaning of dumb luck, maybe beginner's luck is kinder.
We had a wonderful roast for dinner that Becky had put in the crock pot before she left for work. That with baked potatoes and we were content.
Doug and Becky live on a hill and the sunset is amazing from their yard, as is the view of the mountains in the distance.
All in all, today was most relaxing and it was a fun time to catch up and for me to get to know Doug, Becky and the girls.
Tomorrow we leave heading towards New Jersey!!!!!
Glad you took a picture of the sunset--really pretty. Enjoyed the other pictures and your day's activities. Nice you got to catch up on laundry and play games. I just noticed an email from you popped in. I will read it, get in pj's and watch The Good Wife which I tevo'd. Traveling mercies and hello to my home state although it has been some time since I have been there. CYH Betty
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for writting a blog about your trip. It is fun to see all of the people you have visited. We came to Sioux Falls, South Dakota today from Spirit Lake Iowa. Tonight we will see our nephew play a high school football game. I'm really excited, except it is 35 degrees. Have fun on the rest of your trip.
