Good morning to you all. My hips were killing me upstairs in bed so I came down to balance my checkbook, check facebook and post to you gals. I have a busy weekend. We got a phone call last night and are going to have a surprize visitor tonight. Tom and Kelly are going out with friends and Thomas had a choice which grandparents to stay with so he called granddad last night and asked if he could stay overnight. We told him absolutely not, he was a bratty kid...... Like that would ever, ever happen. Anyway, we have Jack's eye appt and my eye check then rush home and clean house and get his room ready, then pick him up at 6 and out to dinner. I figure we will take him to Chilis. His parents don't like Chilis and he loves that chocolate volcano thing they have. He has a cooking class at noon tomorrow so we will just give him a late breakfast before he leaves. The cooking institute is only about 5 miles from our house so it is convenient. We will hop in the car then and run to the commissary and get groceries.
Jean: The comment about the grapefruit and Bob was interesting. Why does it interfere? I ask because Jack takes Zocor, which is the same thing basically. Is it all citrus? I wouldn't know because Jack only drinks oj and never eats any citrus especially grapefruit. I like the lovely pink grapefruit myself. I think it is much sweeter. My grandfather ate grapefruit every day of his adult life. He would have 2 pieces of toast, grapefruit and coffee. Grandma even had these beautiful silver spoons with serrated edges to get out the sections. She would fix us pancakes once in awhile, but he always ate the same thing. We used to "house" college kids from groups like that when we lived in Indiana. We once had several stay at our apartment and all did a slumber party routine in the living room. We had a huge 2000 sq ft apartment and the living room was very big. It was fun.
Susan: Your dinner does sound yummy. I fixed Faye's Stuff last night for dinner with rice. You are such a fountain of information. The computer thing was something Thomas would pop out at me. My vision actually improved a little from last visit. I am very nearsighted and have been since I was 11. I have been wearing contacts continually for about 11 years now. Jack actually wore contacts way back in the early 70's when they were hard. He said he could only stand to wear them about 45 minutes before they drove him nuts. I remember he bought them when he got hi re-up $10,000 bonus from the Navy. They didn't last him long.
I guess I better go. I have things I could do before I have to shower and get ready to go to the eye dr's. Have a great Saturday. It was so nice and warm yesterday and look at what it is going to be like here for the next week. Sandals, here I come. Faye
