Last breakfast at Perkins Restaurant before my Mom, Dad, Sister, and Brother drove back to Abilene, TX. Melissa is working on walking over three miles at one time. Stephen and Nicole and I are preparing for 13.1 miles on April 28 in Nashville, TN. I don't like country music; I'm going for family. :-) Well, I do like Johnny Cash to some degree (maybe that's rockabilly) and some other old stuff. Who is that woman who sang the "Sorry" song? I like Anne Murray, too, but she is Canadian. One time my family drove to Washington D.C. in a two-door '77 Volvo 242 DL listening to two cassette tapes: "Folk Hits of the Sixties" and "Anne Murray's Greatest Hits". Life used to be so simple. (sigh)
For lunch the day before New Year's Day Rouen and her son, Erick, and Ralph and the kids he picks up for church, John and his sister, Brittney, came over and helped us eat. It was good and we had help heating up the leftovers. The kids were hopped up on energy so I had them help me carry containers of refrigerated food over to the Griffith's apartment (I had the key) to use their microwave oven. Then I said, "Hey, run around the oak tree three times." They raced off immediately. They came back out of breath and said, "We had a hard time finding it." I said, "It's just right there. Go do it again." They said, "Oh!" and ran as fast as they could. After lunch, Erick and John read a book (in stereo): _The Story of Ruby Bridges_. That was really cool!
Nic and I went to Bonne Terre Bed & Breakfast in Mississippi, about 30 minutes from 201, for our fifth anniversary. We are still very much in love, probably more so.
We got back from Bonne Terre and went for a four-mile jog. The weather was peculiarly warm so we took a photo.
