Notes - yesterday / today

         Mid-afternoon. You are stopped at Drug Mart on Tylersville Road where Carol is picking up items for Jill K. to use for the housecleaning. She begins on the twenty-ninth the day before Carol’s surgery. It is one more thing Carol won’t have to think about. Yesterday was a good day. You saw Cathy and Tod and had a good lunch at a brewery called Temperance Row Uptown Westerville. Everyone had a different sandwich and everyone was satisfied. Aunt Patsy is furious with the name of the place since the real Temperance Row is Grove Street – which is where many of the higher ups of the Temperance League lived in their heyday. Westerville is known for being the city where it all began in the earlier twentieth century. After lunch you, Carol and Cathy stopped over to see Aunt Patsy who was finishing up getting her hair done. - Amorella

         1636 hours. We are at Kroger’s on Tylersville after stopping at Graeters because it is National Ice Cream Soda Day and they are about a dollar off.  Aunt Patsy’s hair looks very nice and everyone complimented her short modern look of silver. Kim called very excited because she bought a new Honda Odyssey – medium metallic brown and dark brown leather inside. So, their Honda CRV is no more. The key is having sliding doors in back. She was worried every time Owen got out that he would bang someone else’s car as he opened the door. He knows better but she was afraid he might forget and didn’t want to even think about that with Brennan getting out by himself. I know we will like it because the car is easier for us to get in and out of. Paul is happy to have the Highlander because it has all wheel drive and is larger than the CRV – he is afraid of hitting a deer on the highway early morning on the way to the hospital. This way everyone is happy. We will see the car tomorrow afternoon/evening when they return from dinner with Paul’s parents (Father’s Day). I already have my present – when Kim is happy I am happy – always have been. I have been thinking about a new car and today I noticed when filling up the Accord that I hadn’t filled it for a month. Shoot, even if we are only getting twenty miles to the gallon in town we aren’t filling up that often, so we can wait awhile. Besides if we got one now Carol wouldn’t really get to drive it for a couple months. So, anyway, I’ll wait awhile. I’m sure when she does get back into the car she’ll want the extra room in the Avalon anyway. For now, that new car is on the back burner.

         Good call on the car, orndorff. Later. Post when plausible. - Amorella
