I had lots of e-mails, phone calls and texts from friends, and that was really nice. I usually don't like getting those calls on my birthday (I am happier entertaining than I am being entertained), but today was fabulous. Thanks to you all for your kindnesses.
AND, throughout the day, I was able to do some power real estate. I actually got a lot of work done during breaks and the lunch break, and all calls were returned, and all calls I had to initiate were done. A great day altogether.
I even heard from friends Reagan and Elaine. Elaine and I actually rendezvoused in the parking lot of the HEB in Georgetown. We had not seen each other since the party here at the farm in May, so that was a delight. Great to see her. AND, Elaine told me a secret today. But if I told you, it would not be a secret, would it. SO...it will be our secret! After I left Elaine, I called Reagan (her husband) and we had a nice chat too. What a great day!
When I got home, Jody and I went to the Filling Station Restaurant in Bartlett for dinner. I was expecting to have the Shrimp Platter as advertised in the Bartlett Tribune-Progress (Serving Central Texas Since 1886), but when we got there they said that is only served on the weekends. I think they should include that in the advertisements. Anyway, far be it from me to make a scene (that would be so unlike me, I know), so we both had the catfish plate, and it was DELICIOUS. One of these days I will finally have the Shrimp Plate. I have been trying to have a Shrimp Plate there for months, but perhaps it is just not meant to be. Whatever (or maybe I don't care). Whatever...
Home now, about time to commence to piling up for the night. Tomorrow will be another early day, and I have a hearing to chair in the afternoon. AND THEN IT WILL BE THE WEEKEND!
Kindness, Changes, Deeds, Actions, FUN and FRIED SHRIMP!
