I had a beautiful start to my day. I got up and went out to the living room. The pre-dawn colors to the east were beautiful. Then I turned to the west and watched the setting moon. I rarely catch the moon set so it was a special, magical start to my day.
We headed for Stillwater a little after 1:30. Stopped at Costco and got a cart full of things. I decided to get stuff pre-made for the brunch the day of the wedding. I will make homemade cinnamon rolls but most everything else will be stuff I just need to heat up.
Drove through some rain between Wichita and Stillwater. Nothing heavy but it smelled divine! It was raining when we got to Stillwater and unloaded the full car.
Managed to find room in the freezer for all the stuff we got. I bought a six pound package of hamburger and divided that into one pound portions and then froze them. I bought a whole roasted chicken and I deboned it and froze the meat in two separate baggies. Jim unload all the folding chairs and tables we brought and put them in the garage.
We are going out to eat in a bit. I am tired and we need to go to a place and ask about reserving a room for after the wedding. We will try and take care of that tonight. Good reason to go eat out!
It was great spending a few days on the prairie. I didn’t get any painting done this time but maybe after the wedding and we are there for a week we will get more done.
I noticed blooming Bradford Pear trees as well as other blooming trees and flowers when we arrived in Stillwater. They are about two weeks ahead of Strong City. It was delightful to discover spring has sprung forth in Stillwater.
Two weeks to go! Jim and I are both ready for the day to get here so we can get on with the rest of our lives. Neither one of us can think of anything that will change once we get married other than it makes it easier to introduce the other to friends. People understand spouse – they raise their eyebrows at companion or partner.
Tomorrow I do taxes all day. Hope to get some painting done tomorrow after I get done with taxes. Tuesday I do taxes in the afternoon and Jim has invited a friend over for dinner Tuesday night. Wednesday I do taxes all day. Thursday we are meeting with the organist at the church to pick our wedding music. The week will go by quickly.
I’m tired again tonight. Not sure why I have been so tired lately. I have been sleeping more than I am used to – maybe that is making me more tired. I went to bed before 9:00 last night and fell asleep in minutes -most unusual for me.
Trusting that Jim’s sons will be able to make it to the wedding with all the fuss about the Coronavirus. I saw a travel alert recommending people avoid airplane travel for the next two months. Thankfully both of his sons are young and healthy and we have to trust they will be able to travel. It will be what it is and worry won’t change anything.
Grateful for another safe trip from KS to OK, grateful for all the signs of spring, and grateful for the short time we had on the prairie.
