Mosey Down to Macon

Long Memorial Day weekend. Since Ceil was coming home Saturday afternoon, that morning I drove down to Macon. Stopped by the house, then went over to see Pops. Now he’s in a rehab hospital closer to home. He looked a lot better, spending most of his time outside in the courtyard, to be away from his roommate. Hopefully he can go home this Friday or next Monday.

Friday night Grandma had been sick, so she stayed home most of the day…but she didn’t get much rest. She’s easily distracted these days. Her washing machine messed up, so I had to take two loads of clothes to the Laundromat. I took her back to the house about nine, ands she wanted me to spend the night. I made her promise to get some sleep, which worked out well. Nita came home about 1:30 am and turned on the TV.

Took me til 2 pm to finish cleaning the fridge, washing the dishes, and mopping the floor. After a short visit with Pops, I drove back and met Ceil at Passion. Joel and Christiana sat with us. Chris Tomlin wasn’t there. We saw the Hunts, those people who live across from the Bates. Kristan Stanfill invited people to come down from during the singing, so naturally Matthew and JJ went.

The only clean shirt I had was one Grandaddy had brought, that had the SC palm tree and crescent moon. Four different people at Passion pointed to it and said “You from South Carolina?” I won’t be wearing that shirt again. On the way home we ate at Willys. Nita called, demanding to know what happened to all the Dr. Peppers (that she and grandma had drunk).

Prado had a big game on national TV, hitting the go-ahead homer, then gunning down a runner at the plate from left field. Replays showed the runner was safe, but Monday Shafer was called out on a steal, when he was safe. Sunday the Braves won 2-1, but Monday they lost. It was their 8th extra-inning game out of the last 18 games. Jurrigans is 6-1. Shafer is doing ok, batting .300. Chipper said they needed a leadoff hitter than wasn’t “a little Napoleon, swinging for the fences”…perhaps blasting McLouth.

Monday morning I took Ceil up to her shoe store in Roswell at 9:30 am, for a sale. The parking lot was full! I got the oil changed, and got a short haircut…kinda like Louie’s. Drove up to the Earharts Monday for burgers, with the Halls and Watkins. Martha and Dixon weren’t there, but Andrew had fun with Anna, Bethany, and Marylee. Josh hung out with us adults. I will be on the go ten of eleven straight weekends…at least.

Don’t know if you got to see Kevin’s long Galapagos recap. Just goofy details about soup and beds and stuff, but it was good. The Pope tennis team won the state championship.

Busy week. Today is the last day of the month, which is always the busiest. Then we’re going to the baseball banquet, so we’ll see the Gilberts. Then I’ll have three days of work to get ahead, so I can be off all next week. Ceil is stressed about getting stuff done this summer.
