Amanda's Birthday Week - June 2015
Amanda turned 34 this week - on Thursday - seems impossible! The kids and Chad bought her flowers (Peyton's idea) and a Dairy Queen ice cream cake to celebrate. I think they plan to take her out to dinner at a later time - maybe to The Melting Pot on the Plaza which sounds like fun!
On Tuesday, I took a friend, Susan Mosley, to Warrensburg for a doctor's appointment to get a shot in her spine - she needed a driver, as they expect her to be very sleepy on the way home, which turned out to be the case! She did manage to stay awake long enough for us to have a yummy lunch at King's Chef (Chinese buffet) before returning to Clinton. It was a good day.
Thursday night, I conducted my second PEO Meeting as President - it was much less nerve wracking the second time around. Went to a couple of garage sales but didn't find much.
Friday was garage sales again. Again - not too many things found. I'm trying to go through boxes and drawers to downsize and get ready for the September 19 city wide garage sale. It's a slow process.
On Saturday, I spent the morning baking and decorating a birthday cake for our sweet Amanda to take with us to OP on Sunday and baked Big G some lemon muffins - one of his favorites. Ron and I motored to Tightwad to have a tenderloin at Donna's Drive In and got caught in a horrible rain storm on the way back. I was supposed to go to Appleton City around 3 p.m. for a PEO Reception for the AC Chapter, but it was raining cats and dogs in Clinton at that time, so I decided against it.
On Sunday, we went to Overland Park to pick up Amanda and the kids to go to the KC Zoo for the day. Weather couldn't have been more perfect - around 70 degrees and overcast without humidity. Great day at the zoo. We saw lots of animals, rode the train, the tram and the sky tram and had a yummy lunch there at the zoo before going back to the Todds for birthday cake! Always a hit with the little people. We missed having Chad with us for the day as he was playing golf in a tournament.
Amanda and I made a quick trip to Kohl's (a 30% coupon burning a hole in my pocket) and by Hyvee and for a sweet tea at McDonald's while Grandpa and the kids napped! We headed home with a couple of stops, arriving around 5 p.m. A wonderful day with our favorite people.
We are blessed.
