June 22: Wonderful Day

The morning started with a bowl of oatmeal and some time for meditation on the front porch.  The weather contributed to my sense of peace, but getting back into my morning prayer routine was definitely the best part.

The rest of the morning was spent doing some more unpacking of the items we brought back with Dad.  I now have some wonderfully, well-cared for pots and pans to add to my kitchen and Dad's silverware has given us enough settings for lots of company to be fed at one time.  The laundry we brought back from Rapid City is still not all done, but it is closer to being finished. Now we need to figure out where to store all the sheets and towels.

When Dad left for his high school weekend reunion, Kevin and I headed out to do errands.  We needed to make several stops, but not all of them required money.  =0)  Of course, we also had to have lunch, stop at Barnes and Noble, and then there was the grocery shopping.  We had not really done any serious shopping since we arrived in Sioux Falls because we have been doing some major traveling.  My oh my, we spent $278.17 on items at the grocery store!  (Kevin guessed that we had spent $278 -impressive, huh?

Late afternoon brought us to filling out birthday party invites for Dad's 80th birthday.  We will have some visiting time and a picnic style meal.  Many of the guests will be about the same age, so there will be no wild and crazy music, but there will be a fire extinguisher for the candles.

Friday is date night.  Sometimes we just use it to run errands, go for a walk, or snuggle down and watch a DVD, but tonight we went to a Disney/Pixar 3-D movie called BRAVE.  It was delightful and will be added to our huge library of videos when it is released.

Tomorrow we will be attending Dell Rapid's Quarry Days and doing so more serious organizing and the likes.

Life is GOOD!
