Jana and Mattie Have Arrived

I am ready for Jana and Mattie’s visit.  They will arrive today.  Kevin and Renea are bringing her here from Cincinnati.  Their visit with Rick and Beth ended on Friday, and they spent the weekend with Mark and Sandy.  They all left for Alabama this morning about 8:15. I am looking forward to seeing all of them.  I know the dogs are ready.  They have really missed them.

This week I have one doctor appointment. Other than that Jana and I will be going to Barnes and Nobel, Walmart, Kroger, Hobby Lobby, Joanne’s and any other place we can think of.  Probably to the candy store, Kilwin’s.  Of course, we will probably eat out once or twice. We also have a lot of paperwork to go through to organize our trips for this summer, fall and winter.  I am looking forward to taking these trips.  Jana and I haven’t done anything like that for years.  We know where we are going.  We just have to work out details.  Berlin, Ohio this summer.  Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, TN this fall.  Savannah this winter. 

This weekend we will be going to Siesta Keys, FL, for Bradley and Brianna’s wedding.  I have never been to that part of Florida.  I am sure we will have a nice time.  They are having a sunset wedding.  Will post pictures when we get home. 

Bruce, Jennifer, Nick and Bethany came over to Kevin’s this morning.  Nick cut the front grass of both mine and Kevin’s front yards.  Bruce cut the back yard around the shed and part of the back of my house.  It was so hot, they then called it day.  Jennifer and Bethany cleaned Renea’s house.  Then they all went swimming.  I spent the afternoon visiting with them.

Bruce talked to Kevin to find out what time they would arrive home because he planned to grill hamburgers and hot dogs for supper.  Jennifer made slaw, brownies and fluff.  Jana, Mattie, Kevin and Renea arrived home about six o’clock.  Supper was ready shortly after and it sure tasted good.  It was so good to see Jana and Mattie.  Of course, it was good to see Kevin and Renea also.  Dillard and Janet also joined us for supper.  Jana and I were the first to leave.  Jana was tired, and she wanted to put her clothes away and go to bed early.

Mattie just made herself at home like she had never left.  Penny and her are getting along just as before.  Not sure who is in charge.
