Well, not all in Abilene. Wednesday we started in Eastland for an eye appointment with a new doctor for me (Nancy). She was very good and gave me a prescription for new glasses. She also dialated my eyes and the rest of the afternoon passed in a blur. We went directly to Abilene for Charles' appointment for his regular six month check up. By four in the PM we had ordered prescripton glasses and were both feeling healthy and very hungry. Charles knows all the good places and took us to the Red Lobster. We shared two dinners and canceled work for the rest of the day and just went home.
Thursday we were up and going to Abilene to finish our To do list. Charles went to an Engineers' lunch meeting and I shopped and had a Subway lunch on the way home. Charles picked up his new suit. Spiffy! Today we got a nap.
Before we left the house this morning, I talked to a friend in Nebraska and we are signed up for my 60th reunion. I need to get my annual out and review the names and people. I hope my new glasses work well enough to read name tags at the reunion. Grand daughter Jacqui and friend Amanada, (my honorary daughter) both fresh out of school for the summer, are helping us drive north. I am looking forward to showing Charles where I grew up along with seeing real tall corn growing, at least seven feet, and the world's largest feed lot that covers most of the whole state. Now you know where your steak comes from.
The feed lots provide fertilizer for the corn fields to feed the cattle. Bradferd, my grandson, says the whole state smells. Like Texas oil, it smells like money.
