Courageous Joy

THURSDAY

This week has turned out to be incredibly busy and we can’t figure out WHY? Josiah speculates that it is because it is the first day of summer.

Today we had a friend and her high school son over. They attend chapel and it was fun to visit. The boys had a great time. They have a younger boy who is Jared’s age. He is out of town right now but we’ll have to have them over when they are all back. I think it would be a good thing for both families.

I attended a luncheon for two friends who are moving. I really do not like PCS season much at all. HOWEVER, the restaurant was wonderful. After the luncheon I was able to visit with the chef/owner and told him how surprised I was to find a place like this in our little W TX town. He said that he’s been a chef for 11 years in New York and that he is determined to bring something new down here. The salad bar was amazing….creative, fresh, yummy. He also had 3 types of dessert, two types of rolls and greens, black eyed beans, salmon patties and lasagna….all tasted home made and no Jell-O or pudding anywhere to be seen. I told him that the food tasted FRESH and not like it came out of a Franchise frozen box. {G} For instance, he’d bought the greens that a.m. and served them for lunch. It wasn’t cheap – but the lunch prices were manageable…dinner is only served two nights a week and the prices are more but I’m betting it is really good food. I need to take Mike back there for lunch one of these days. They have a salad/soup buffet for $6.50 and then the whole buffet is $10.00 (tax already included). I’ve been looking for a restaurant that has healthy choices…real food…I KNOW they have them on the West coast, Denver etc….but I’ve not found anything like it here in TX. This is close. LOL

The car dealer called. Our van is ready. They found a couple of little things to fix but couldn’t get it to act up. They installed a flight reader – a black box. We are to pick up the van today and learn how to use it. Supposedly when it looses power again this will send a message to some computer and tell them exactly what is going on. I guess telling them to keep it until they fixed it got results. They knew I wasn’t bringing the Expedition back until they did something. LOL

I can’t remember what else we’ve done…it’s a blur.
