MIZZOU and Alpacas

It is not Sunday morning, and I am back home.  I had a wonderful time visiting Koleen.  It amazes me how much the campus has changed since fall of 81.  I guess, it just shows, I am getting old.  We went to the bookstore, saw her room, walked to Hearnes to watch the band and then saw the new student center.  While we were at the stadium, we saw Brett Jones.  He is one of my favorite young men. His folks raised him right.  He was all smiles and passed out hugs when we saw him.  It was so nice to see him.  Seeing him and Koleen together reminded me of when I first came to Mt. Vernon and Koleen was in 5th grade and and Brett was in 6th.  My time flies.  After walking back to Hudson, we went to a great place called Jazz.  It was cajun food.  I loved it and now have a new favorite place in Columbia.  I had a pasta dish with crawfish and cajun sausage.  YUMMY, YUMMY.  I would eat there once a week if it was here in Mt. Vernon.  I left after our late lunch and got home about 9:00 last night.  I am tired today, but it was worth it.  I had a great time.  I sure miss Kay.

While I was gone, the girls and Steve went crazy.  They went to the alpaca event and had a good time.

 They saw Jane and Aunt Pearl.  They were down for the weekend.  Steve said they had a wonderful visit.  They ate lunch at Grandma's.  They ran other errands and went past the place where they ride and sell the Powerchutes.  Steve loves those things and would really like to own one.  He used to fly planes and really misses that.  Since his lungs are messed up.  He will not be able to fly commercially for a long time.  I think a Powerchute would be a great thing for him to have once he feels better.  Dale Schnelle had one, but I am unsure if he still does.  I am afraid that if he got a chute, Steve would be off into the wild blue yonder everyday.  No telling where I he would end up.  He can be very adventurous at times.

I am not sure what the plans are for today except supper at Grandma's.  Aubree just got back from Cody's and is going to spend the day with us.  It is always nice of Cody to rearrange his weekend to accommodate Amelia.  Elizabeth leaves late tomorrow afternoon.

We have an appointment with Dr. P tomorrow afternoon to check out his incision.  I think he is going to be pleased with his improvement.
