October 22, 2016. San Antonio, Texas. A Day In the Life.

No question about it.  We had a wonderful day.  Ken and I spent the day with David, Suzanne and the girls at their home in San Antonio.   The day was productive and fun.

David moved a load of mulch from the front driveway to the backyard.  Suzanne helped for an our or so.  The girls slept.  Suzanne made a big brunch of bacon, and pancakes which we all enjoyed as we wandered into the kitchen.  The University of Texas football team lost.

In the afternoon, I accompanied Suzanne to the grocery store and used the time to walk while Suzanne shopped.  Walking for me in grocery stores and drug stores is always good because the floor is level and the lights are bright so I am kept amused looking at all the objects for sale.   On the way home we stopped at the drug store.  I must begin my pre-operation drops tomorrow.

The day was beautiful so we sat on the deck while David cooked poppers and hamburgers.  We seven enjoyed a delicious dinner of grilled vegetables, sweet potato and regular french fries cooked in the oven, along with the hamburgers.  The girls were solicitous of Ken.  In fact they were so concerned about his balance that Abigail moved right close beside him so he would not fall over.  It was all very funny and kindly.

Then we all watched together as the Chicago Cubs beat the Dodgers.  We were all cheering for the Cubs but until the last out, we were never quite sure they would win and get into the World Series.  We spent the whole day with the three girls and David and Suzanne.  It by itself is a bonus but when the Cubs got into the World Series for the first time since 1945, the day was extraordinarily special.    A good day indeed for all.
