I got up too early this morning... I hate it when I do that. Mom and I visited until after noon, then we went out to eat and buy her some gardening stuff. We ate at Western Sizzzin', that seems to be Mom's favorite place.
After we ate, we went to Atwood's, a local large hardware store, and Mom bought some plants and some hose so that she can water the new garden that she's starting in the back.
By the time we got home, I was pretty tired, so I took a nap... naps are nice when they work, and this one did.
I called my old friend Jess, and he was down at the Red Barn, drinking beer as usual, so I went down and had a couple of cokes and talked to him for a coupla hours. His wife had ovarian carcinoma about five years ago, and now she had to have a mastectomy from a totally unrelated cancer. She left the bar right before I called Jess on his cell phone, so I diodn't get to see her. She's a remarkable lady, maintaining her sense of humor in spite of her troubles.
I'm planning on driving back to Topeka tomorrow night late, so I want to get to bed early tonight and take a nap tomorrow before I leave...
