NOTHING QUITE LIKE HAVING THE CALENDAR seriously FULL. Mission accomplished and now we can participate in a much slower week. Thankful we were able to get as much done as we did. Took an afternoon nap after Lil Miss's Graduation party. I needed it.
The last few days has gone something like this.
Last Thursday we traveled to Kansas City early for a follow-up Cancer appointment for me. I had a good appointment. Will return in one year.
When I was in one of the exam rooms being weighed and having my blood pressure taken by the nurse, the doctor came looking for me. This was a first. 🩺 He walked me to the exam room so I asked him if I had to take my clothes off trying to be funny. He said yes this is why you are here! Hahah.
He said I could undress in this room. So I did. Completely in my birthday suit with a sheet to cover my body. I was sitting on the exam table with my feet dangling off the edge. He walked in and said OH MY, you didn't have to take everything off except from the waist down. I told him no one told me otherwise. OH WELL. It didn't really matter to me as I dislike these exams anyways. Just get it over with. Please and thank you.
The exam was over before I knew it and I had a good report. Praise the LORD. This put me in a very good mood. Clothes back on.
The rest of the day was busy with a delicious lunch at HOME GROWN, some shopping at HALLMARK and more driving. About 4 more hours worth. Onto Oklahoma to a nice motel. We slept well and did some shopping in Jenks, Oklahoma at the RIVER CITY TRADING POST. Another meal on the riverfront. Off to the graduation ceremony.
Afterwards we had a dance party at the kids' HOME. Had so much fun watching the kids dance. The next day was our grandson's graduation party. Visited, ate and enjoyed our time.

with COBBER DEANS on the parking lot.
We lived in Jenks, Oklahoma back in '96. Stayed a couple of years while Hubby worked at AMOCO until the sell-out to British Petroleum. We lived in a little run down T.W. Holland rental a couple of blocks from the TRADING POST. In the evenings, my Husband and I would walk the neighborhood and the downtown area.
We went back to Jenks to purchase some plants at COBBER DEANS. We traveled the long distance home with them.

Got HOME late. Exhausted. Rested for the night and started over again on Sunday getting ready for our granddaughter's graduation and party.
TOOK A NAP when we got HOME. I figure Monday we will take it easy, unpack and rest some more. If I can pull it off, I'll go walking and continue eating mindfully. I splurged big time at these graduation parties. I allowed myself to knowing that come MONDAY I will climb back on top of the wagon and eat accordingly. Threatening weather is popping up this MONDAY.
LORD WILLING THIS WEEK, we will put plants in pots for a container garden. The front bedroom will get some attention and worked on. Laundry of course. Another grocery store haul with veggies and fruits. Better make a grocery list. LABS done for hubby. I need to copy some pictures of the grandchildren's Prom and Graduation to send to my mom with a long letter.
Cut some Irises and place in a beautiful vase for the living room. Attend High School Regionals for Track. School is out for the year. Relieved and ready for this SUMMER HOLIDAY. Planning on getting a great deal done this SUMMER.
The yard work will take place, the front bedroom will be cleared out. We'll decide about carpeting and begin to look and make a judgment call. More clean-up to take place. Desire to have a storage unit cleared out by the end of SUMMER and somewhere in here the front porch will get a rebuild. Long country drives need to take place and time with family a must. Walking has to happen. A high priority is our aging health. Eating more nutritionally dense foods, avoiding harmful chemicals and exercising more are a must.
THOUGH MY HUSBAND IS RETIRED, we've been on the go more than ever. Chores to do around our retirement cottage, fixer-upper projects, family activities, etc.
