What to talk about?

A lot has happened this week but I have no idea what to write.

Tuesday - I took Miss with me to eat lunch with MK at school. Miss came home with us and played with T. and swam but she was pretty bored until MK came home.

Wednesday - T. Willy and I went to breakfast at the Big Man's restaurant with the Grillmaster, the Mrs., Miss, Hee-thar (the girls' name for her) and Miss's uncle. We had a nice time and some great food. I also went out to dinner with some girls at church. The Big Man stayed home with one girl's two boys. WHEW! He is used to having a mild-mannered girl and a boy who isn't at that active a stage yet. He was ready for us to come home.

Thursday - Cannot even remember Thursday. Ummmmm.

Friday - T. Willy and I again went to lunch with MK. She likes for us to visit her at school and we're glad to see her any time we can. I also like for the teacher to get to know my face. After school MK had a birthday party for one of her Build-a-Bears. No kidding. She is a delightful, girly girl for certain. Worse, the bear actually got a present!!! And we had guests...Miss and another friend. We even made a cake. I suspect I won't be doing this with T. Willy. Then the Grillmaster grilled steaks for us and we all sat around the kitchen table and talked. As soon as it got dark the lights flickered and went out. It did that a couple of times and finally went off for awhile. The electricity was off for a long time so we sat at the table with candles and flashlights and told stories. The girls and I went out front and watched some neighbors throw a lighted football and then lit sparklers. When we ran out of sparklers, we went back inside. At one point the lights came back on, but the girls were enjoying it so much they turned the lights off and we talked some more. They left and the electricity was on and off for the next few hours. By morning it was back to normal.

Today - MK spent the night with Miss at the in-law's house. We had a quiet morning. I did laundry and the Big Man mowed and edged and cleaned the pool. The family came over for lunch and stayed through dinner. Miss is spending the night here. The girls and I looked at photo albums and laughed and laughed and now they're in the living room wrapped in sleeping bags and watching old home videos and laughing. The family leave tomorrow and a new week will begin again.

So, nothing profoud, but that was our week in a nutshell.

Hope you had a good one!
