Thursday at Lucille's

Thursday, July 28 - Today's assignment was to get the flag for the new mailbox figured out, which Joe accomplished.  Lucille had missed her hair date earlier in the week, so Joe took her in today for a haircut, and a trip to the bank.  I stayed home and started getting the RV ready to head out tomorrow - laundry, vacuuming, cleaned out the frig -- that kind of thrilling stuff.  Judy brought Winston out to meet us. 

Mike called and needed some muscle (boy, is he calling the wrong place for that) to help unload a wall unit, so Joe and I went down there for a few minutes.  When we got back from that, Fred had arrived, (thankfully, he had recovered from his choking spell of yesterday) and we all visited for a while, but Judy had to leave for a computer class she was starting, and Joe convinced his mother to back down to the Thursday evening card game at the parish hall (she had been boycotting the card games since she fell down there).

  Joe, Fred and I went in for our last Bobe's Pizza (yum!), and did some more crop-surveying.  But we did catch an awesome sunset over the bean field.

We got back to the house just after 9:00 p.m.  Judy came back out after her class, and when Lucille returned from her card game, we started our own.  A 10:00 p.m. start means you don't quit until 1:00 a.m., we found out, and Lucille was still going strong when we called it a night.  I know I'll have a hard time getting Joe out of bed in the morning so we can get on the road, and Lucille has another errand for us -- she wants us to run down and get her some fresh peaches (they told her at the card game that the peaches were wonderful).    We're supposed to meet Cathy and Joe at the casino in French Lick at noon, but I'm thinking we might be running just a bit late.
