Today is my friend Charlotte Mattice's birthday. She is 74, 10 years and 2 months older than I am. Karen Schneider picked me up and then we went to pick up Charlotte. We went to Applebee's and had their soup and salad lunch. I had french onion soup and spinach, shrimp salad. We had shooter hot fudge sundaes for dessert. Everything was delicious, but not too filling. Charlotte shared with us that she told her children not to contact her for her birthday. Her son Kelly came over last Monday and pretty much told her that none of her children liked her very well. I know Charlotte had a little "bite" to her, but I don't think any mother deserves to be told her children don't like her. She said Karen and I were the one bright spot in her life, so I am glad we took her out for her birthday.
Kim went with Evan and the other kindergarteners on a field trip this week. She took this picture:
"Look Mom, I got him."
Like mother, like son.
This afternoon I went with James to Bass Pro Shop to get a pair of shoes with the money the Braddock's gave him for helping Alex with his Eagle Project. He got camo boots to work in and we had dinner at Islamadora's. This evening we went to Sheri and Ian's and watched 3 episodes of The Mentalist.
Denise texted me about the Show Low vs. Blue Ridge game. Blue Ridge won 24-14. I guess Colby threw a pass that Blue Ridge caught and scored on. I bet he felt terrible.
