Saturday the 17th
Bring on the summer vibes. A bit of humidity to top it off.
I have been able to stay out of the Curry fray in fine fashion. Dennis has been holding up just fine as family members have been in and out. It’s a good thing. When family can get together other than for a funeral . . . what’s not to like.
I have had a good run on Saturday’s family events. Later on this evening, Dennis is taking in a gathering at his nephew’s as a hog roast will be under way. I will pat Dennis on the butt and bid him well as he is on his way. I am remaining here to keep the home fires going for Dennis’ return. I know that the close of the day, finds me less than stable. Staying upright here at home is a better bet for me than navigating turf and gravel. As each family member left here from this afternoon, a hardy hug from me said it all.
In the quiet of the evening, I know I am where I need to be . . . catching up on several family contacts of my own.
I now have it on good authority from Nicholas, his first weeks of being in ninth grade, that the sandwich bar for his noon meals is pretty good. I think it’s pretty good that Nicholas returns my texts.
I know, here on Stauffer Avenue, the sandwich bar is always open with a good “Ladies Aid” ham spread. Dennis has gone to the point of comparing the ham spread here at our local grocery to the ham spread from Hy-Vee in Mankato. Hy-Vee wins hands down. Discriminating tastes of the ole cowboy. I am happy that Dennis gets some protein at noon.
I know no one out there is going to go hungry. To each his own.
Have a great Sunday!
