Saturday bid good friends Bon Voyage. I am so jealous. I had planned for about a week to go with them but I cannot walk. No need to think I can travel overseas. Maybe next year. But we had a good meal and visit.
Went to the Swedish Crown. I always ask for my favorite waiter but they told me he was out of state. Ha! He soon walked in with his mom. Great to see both! Hugs from both and kisses from her. Glad they wandered in. I think heard I planned to do him bodily harm since he was not there and came in for that reason. (-; He is still going away for a few days but not that day.
Saturday was my daughter's birthday and today is her son's birthday. Did not get to see either. She is sick and he went to Branson. Oh well. I am sort of used to not seeing them. I do hope she gets better soon. Same crud that my brother and I had. She just started a new job. Hard to be sick your second week on the job.
My brother J and I ate at Jalisco's. Great food and good friends there. Someone there had a birthday. They all gather to sing and the honoree wears a sombero. And my good friend J has a spoon of whipped cream ready to apply to their nose!! He loves doing that! And has a wicked ornery look on his face!! They got me 2 years ago. Last year I was there but I got no singing or whipped cream.
J and I went through a box of stuff of Mom's. Found in there old, old greeting cards. So cool. And a purse of my grandmother's. Must have carried it when she worked at Camp Phillips during WWII. It was a prisoner of war camp for Germans and it did training also. The prisoners were treated very well. Many wanted to just stay here. In the purse were German cigarets. Probably traded them for pop or food or something. There was also her ID photo. I just could not put it back in the purse. I tried but I could not do it. In my purse now. And there was a dog tag of no one we know. I will check to see if anyone is looking for it. There is a group that searches.
Many of the greeting cards were to my great grandmother from her children wishing her happy whatever holiday it was. Combined with the photo of my grandmother I ended up crying all the way home. I was 3 years and 8 months when my grandmother died. I have no memories of her and very few of my childhood. I never had the chance to write her any kind of card or letter. I truly think if she had lived my life would have been so different. I had no one to support me. I missed her so much today it hurt.
Watching fútbol on TV. México and El Salvador. México is a head. Good!!! I will close this and enjoy my match. And hope México stays ahead! My husband will hate it. Too bad. I hate his western movies and I cannot escape them.
