Luncheons

I love to eat out! Friday was the retirement lunch for my dad. He is finally finished with working for someone else. That is not to say he won't be busy in his retirement! Now, that would surprise me! In this pic, he had just read the card that a lot of the people he works with had signed. The lady that seemed to have organized it said many nice things to dad and he in turn talked about how he had enjoyed working for Wooten Co. I am to his right and my sister, Tricia, is to my right. Since he just got married, sold his place, moved to a different town, plus he retired, he will have a lot of adjustments going on!

Saturday was my last day to lounge around. I did a little bit of shopping the sales, but not too much. After church today, I met a good friend for lunch. We had lost touch for awhile; however, we seemed to pick right up where we left off.
We both love sushi and that is something we used to do when we were hanging out all the time, before I got married. So, we met at Sakura and ordered a couple rolls. We also shopped a little, but mainly came back to my house and had a great visit! I need to be better about keeping in touch with old friends. I have no excuse! So, Marie, I know you are busy with lil' Nicky,
but if you read this, thanks for a great afternoon! By the way, I have no idea why the sky looks sooo pink?????

Well, Tobin is shooting his bow and then he'll cook dinner. That is our deal for the time being. He thinks most of my meals are "all-in-one" dishes, and he likes his side dishes here lately. He agreed to cook all the time, if I would just clean up! I simply cannot turn down that kind of deal! Plus, he grills most of the time, so that is great by me! Especially with me going back to work! Speaking of that...I had better go check out my new text book. I went out to school and got it today and worked on a bulletin board. Everything changes tomorrow!

    I guess you go all out decorating your room! Now, is that the scrapbooker in you or the elementary ed. teacher?

  8. In all honesty, Allison, we'd really have to throw Budweiser or Guinness in the mix, and then Tobin would be set! lol
