A Perfectly Goode Day

This morning the light coming in the window was just enough to make me open an eye. Being that the sun light was coming in the window was all it took for me to realize that it was late. Could I have slept this late?? Oh yes and it sure felt good. I am feeling better because I slept the whole night through without waking up coughing.

Yesterday Sherri and I went out and bought us a new coffee maker. Ours would brew but it would not keep the coffee hot. We found a Cuisinart on sale at Macy's and it was just what we wanted. While we were there Sherri found her some new dishes that she could not live without. GEE what is she going to do when we get on a fixed income which believe me is not going to be anywhere near what I make now? It will be a tough first year for her...any suggestions on withdrawal programs?

Yesterday morning was a real great adventure for the both of us. We got to meet Debbie and Bill Goode at Cracker Barrel in Garland Texas. We arrived a little ahead of them but did not have to wait long. We started off with handshakes and hugs and were taken to our table promptly. We immediately started our visit ordered coffee and forgot all about ordering food. Finally our waitress asked if we would be eating and we said yes but we had not even looked at the menu! What a great time it was getting to know each other again after such a long absence. I guess that is one of the many wonderful things about this life style is getting to acquire so many friends that like the same things that you do. Another thing is knowing that the good Lord willing we will all meet again down the road with new stories to tell. Thanks Bill and Debbie for sharing your time with us...we enjoyed it so much. Oh I can't forget thanks for buying our breakfast...we owe you one so... don't forget.

Sherri is heading out this morning to go and do her last minute shopping for some of the G-Kids. I think she has one or two left and then she will be done. While she is gone I will be installing the new TV in the living room and trying to get the satellite hooked up and running. Please wish me luck...you all know my luck with electronics. I wont have my kids here to get everything hooked up so this will be a real adventure. I will let you know how it all went in my next entry.

Also today we are meeting Dortha and Mark Jim and Ellie in Oklahoma at the Windstar Casino for some button pushing excitement. Ellie said she is not going to gamble but just set and watch me play my penny machines. You would be surprised at the people that have stopped and looked over my shoulder to see me playing one line one penny at a time. "Sir, did you know that you are only playing one line"? "Yes", I will tell them and about that time I win $2.00 and the hands go in the air and I am filled with excitement!! More people come over to see what I have won and then walk away shaking their heads in disbelief...LOL Hey it does not take much to make Speedy happy.

OK I have to get ready to start my project. I need to drink one more cup of coffee from my new coffee maker and then get dressed and get this day started.

Thanks again to Bill and Debbie for such a wonderful morning. I can't wait for our next meeting...
