Day Trip

Eric and I are going to Texarkana today. We had great intentions of getting up early this morning and getting on the road before 7pm. BUT, kids will change your plans. Last night we had a make-up softball game at 6:30. The game was close and went into overtime. Elizabeth's team lost to the number one team, but we ALMOST beat them. Well, when we were done, the coach informed us that we had another make-up game at 9pm. Glad it's summer time. We didn't get home until 10:30 and the girls were N-ASTY, so we had to have baths also. I put them in their PJ's after their bath, and they went straight to sleep.

We are going to Texarkana today to pick up more bible school supplies. My friend, Kerri, and I went last week, and of course I didn't have all I needed, so back I go. Eric is going along for this trip. We took the girls to MawMaw Shirley's this morning, straight out of bed!! I stopped in to see a patient on the way, and then we were off. We have stopped at Arkadelphia for a big breakfast We are stuffed! I had french toast topped with blackberry topping and whipped cream with a side of eggs and bacon. Yummy. Eric had eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, and grits. He also is stuffed. We had a fabulous waitress, probably in her early twenties - there is hope for America. Just had to mention that, because good service is hard to find. We tipped her well.

We are also going to try to run a few errands and get some groceries when we get back to town. I have a baby shower at my house tomorrow for an old friend. We usually have these things at the church, but the church is bible school central , so I have volunteered to have it at my house. The cleaning fairy came yesterday and so the house looks nice and sparkly. I have high hopes that we can keep it that way until tomorrow.
