Thursday (April 17)

Thursday.  Dixie and the boys went to town this morning, so it was my turn to do some chores and stay home with Mom. Dixie needed some adjustment on her glasses, and it was grocery-shopping time again, to get ready for the party on Sunday.  Of course, with Joe driving, they had to make a side-trip back across the river to look at those watermelon plants again, and then there was another road with Joe's name on it, so it was mid-afternoon before they got back home.

Don Wagoner stopped by with his mowing equipment to get the lawn ready for the Sunday party, and he came in and visited when he finished his work.  He knows a lot of history about the area and the people, so Lucille really enjoyed talking and listening to him.

Cathy arrived about 5:00, with her dog, Bird.
 
 She brought Grandma an Easter Bunny.  Grandma thought Bird might like the bunny well enough to eat it, so she introduced them in the hope that the Bunny will stay safe.
 

 

After our dinner of Dixie's beef vegetable soup, we played 6-handed euchre for a while.  We finally wore Lucille out, and she gave up her seat at the table to Judy, who stopped by after church.   

We had to switch sleeping arrangements around upstairs, but we all had a place to lay our heads for the night.
