Picked up the grandkids yesterday at 6:00.   Michelle was having a Pampered Chef party last night and I offered to get the kids out from under her feet during the party.  We had a fun evening at my house together.  They ate popcorn and s’mores and took soaker tub baths.  Both were sound asleep by 9:00.

It was not a good night for sleeping for me even after I moved to the bed in the guest room.  Tried several tricks but none seemed to be working last night.

Both kiddos were up around 7:30.  I fixed them bacon, eggs and pancakes for breakfast around 8:30.  Ellexia ate especially well.  She cooked the eggs for me.  She helped me do chores after breakfast.

Tim came and got them around 9:30 this morning.   I’m glad they came out as we all had a relaxing time together.

A friend invited me to go to the Contra dancing event at Pioneer Bluffs tonight.  I need to get out of the house and said I would go.   Not sure it is my thing to go dancing but it will be nice to be around people tonight.

Tomorrow a friend is coming in the morning and we are meeting other friends for lunch and then going to the locally made and produced movie that is being shown at the Granada Theatre in Emporia in the afternoon.

I ate lunch a bit early as I need to have dinner done before 5:30 tonight as that is when my friends are picking me up.  I get hungry between lunch and dinner but so far have never gotten hungry between dinner and bedtime.  They are selling barbecue tonight so trusting the smell doesn’t lead me off plan.  I need to remember to take extra bottles of water with me.

Since I have a guest coming tomorrow I probably should do some housecleaning this afternoon.  The dust on the end tables is thick enough to write in.  The floors aren’t much better.  Need to consider doing some spring cleaning this month.  I’ll see if the urge hits or not.

Nicole made it home late last night.  I haven’t talked to her today yet.  She had been awake over 36 hours so trusting she is getting some sleep today.  I’m anxious to see all the pictures she took and hear more about her adventure.  It sounds like she had a wonderful trip.

Need to run into Emporia this afternoon and pick up a prescription.  Trying to remember what else I needed before I drive in.  I forgot to write it down and can’t remember now what it was.  I hate when I do that.  I can’t trust anything to memory anymore.

Grateful the grandkids came out to spend the night, grateful to my friend who invited me out tonight, and grateful for the peace and quiet I am enjoying this afternoon.
