Lunch Date...

The weekend was set to be a busy, but fun weekend.  Boston went again with Kilee to watch Jared play football in St. Joe, he had been looking forward to it since the week before when he went with her ... and is looking forward to going again this Friday.  Madi & I dropped him off and he rode to St. Joe with "the boys", Big George & George and then we headed home for some girl time.  We did mani/pedi's, went out for dinner, and then came home to watch a movie together in bed.  While we were watching a movie DJ called to ask me if I had heard anything about Jerry, a regular of ours that came in almost every M-F to have lunch around 1-1:30.  I think Jerry liked coming in at that time because all of us girls would be slowing down and at least one of us could eat with him while the rest of us rolled silverware or just chit chatted with him.  I hadn't heard anything about Jerry and I thought for sure someone had gotten their story wrong.  NO way had Jerry passed away, we JUST saw him at lunch 7 hours earlier!  Bye Jer, have a good weekend!  Not a minute later did I get a call and my screen said Jodi Therer, I knew right then, it was true, we'd lost our lunch date.  Lunches will not be the same without Jerry, we look forward to seeing him everyday and when he's not there we always give him trouble & ask if he's been cheating on us.  I remember a week went by with no Jerry & we were all ready to call and see if he was sick or something and he came in the next day, he had been working on the farm instead of in town that week.  Whew!!  I still sort of expect to see him walk through the door today like any other day, but I know that's not going to happen.  We're gonna miss you Jerry!!

The rest of our weekend:
On Saturday we chilled around the house for a while, then headed over to Mammo & Papa's to help get ready for Shelly's big SURPRISE 50th birthday party.  Kelsey & Shawna came over to decorate so I got to have some time with baby Charley (so cute!)  She loved watching mommy & aunt Kels put up all the decorations.  We all hid in the garage until Shelly showed up for "Madi's birthday party", opened the garage and out ran Kale, LOL, I think she knew something was up then!  She said she was mad, but she had a good time anyway!  Happy 50th Aunt Sheddy!!

I left the party to come back around and see Captain America (HA!)  We met Tim & Wendy in Manhattan while Tim was stationed at Ft. Riley.  They came in to watch the Red Sox play and the rest is pretty much history!  We became friends with them and then they left us, they moved to Georgia and now Rhode Island.  Tim is at Ft. Leavenworth this week for some training and since that is only 20 minutes from us, he graced us with a visit!  YAY!  Sure wish Wendy & Bronwyn could have come but getting to see Tim was nice.  DJ may have been talked into a trip for us to go see them this Fall.

The kids came home on Sunday and we all watched Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, it's become one of their favorites lately.  After that, I went to work and they got to have some daddy time.

The kids start soccer this week, so add that to the play rehersals and maybe football for the little guy and we're one busy family.  Oh yea, and Madi is now on Student Council at school, but that is only a twice a month meeting before school, so that shouldn't be a big add-on.

Cheers to you, Jerry!  I think I'll have the special today ;)
