Monday was a work day and a planning day for Tuesday. When Tuesday morning got here I had big plans on getting way over the hump of chores that laid before us in this the last week of my career.
The plan was to finish clearing out the barn and get the barn moved to our new property site. Sherri had finally came to a decision where to place it and we were on our way to getting that done when Mother Nature stepped in and provided us with rain. Well having the barn moved is a great expense in itself and if it rains and they get stuck then the cost goes up from there. With my track record in these types of crap shoots I decided to back off and wait for the day that was good and dry without any chance of rain.
We did get the rest of the stuff out of the barn that had to be taken to Rodney’s for storage until the barn arrived. Rodney and Becky have been so gracious as to allow us to store all this stuff in their barn until we could get ours moved. This move seems like it has taken so much of our time. We were adding up the trips back and forth to Wills Point and the cost in diesel alone is weighing heavy on our budget. We will both be so relieved when we get this all behind us and we can just worry about where to move to next.
After taking the last load of stuff out to the lake we headed back to Carrollton. It was getting along about 5:00 PM and then the thought hit me….Traffic…We were going to be in the worst part of the Dallas traffic going home. Sure enough we were and it was bad every turn we made and every detour we tried was jammed with cars stacked up. It took us almost 2 hours to get to the IHOP in Lewisville…were we planned on getting the old folks special…buy one get one free. Yes we did make it and cashed in on the after 3:00 PM special. It was so good and I know the take home box that we packed will be good too.
After leaving IHOP we went to Best Buy to look around and found nothing to our liking and then headed home. By this time it was time for Yoville and Chat. Sherri went to Yoville to work and I got into chat. She soon joined me in the chat room and before long the ice cream craving hit us both and we signed off and went to Braums for ice cream….OHHH was it good. That just about capped off this day. Today is a work day…by the way I should get ready to head that direction. I will catch you all on the bounce back….

Hey, how does that ice cream work into that diet? I might have to give it a try...j
Doesn't but it sure makes you feel good. I know I will have to walk an extra mile...but it is all worth it.
Joe, if I would have had the time I wanted to insert a link to what you wrote 4 or 5 weeks ago about friends. You said it so well and your right you are never far from friends.
