Wednesday
Date Update: our weekly date day was kind of meager this week. After a quick stop at the bank, we stopped by
the fire department office so I could try on a hat. The one they had was way too small,
though. I tried on a few back when Assistant
Chief Winn was around, but I guess that one never got ordered. Oh, well, I’ve waited this long …
We
did finally catch Trish at her desk, though.
I’ve been trying to introduce her to Chris for quite some time now. They seemed to hit it off pretty well. Of course Trish never meets a stranger. That’s why she’s so good at her job, I guess. Not that Chris is a tough one to meet, mind
you. Maybe I better move on before I get
into trouble …
We
tried a different place for lunch at Nathan’s recommendation. It’s a little Mexican food place right around
the corner from our house. The building
has changed owners many, many times over the years. So many that we stopped even paying attention
to whether it was open or not. My beef
quesadillas were some of the best I’ve ever had. Chris’ soft tacos were huge if nothing
else. The service wasn’t all that great,
though. We were one of only two tables
occupied in the whole place, and yet we never got refills on our drinks. We never got a check, either. We finally just walked up to the register and
paid. Not like she had a hard time
remembering what we ordered. So … good
food. Not so great service. We may go back …
Home
Depot made the agenda this week. Chris
wanted a specific kind of mulch for the flower beds, and she found it there
last year. Thankfully, they did have
plenty in stock. Chris wouldn’t let me
pick it up by myself, though. My back is
still pretty tender from my yard work day the other day, so I didn’t argue too
much. Besides, we work well together for
lots of things, why not lifting bags of ground up dead trees? …
Of
course we ended our trek with the weekly WalMart run. That’s where we picked up some weed and feed for
the lawn. No question about it now. Spring has officially sprung. And the perpetual yard work is back. Maybe I’ll have a few more days to let my back
catch up …
Titus
3:14 says, “Our people must learn to
devote themselves to doing what is good, in order that they may provide for
daily necessities and not live unproductive lives.”
Father,
thank you for one more day. Help me see the
excitement that’s there in each one.
Amen.
