February 5, 2018
Well, for starters, last week went quite well, as far as hitting the mark on my objectives. I finished the donation request for Rouse's for the CAC and took it all the way to the store, and she said she would email it right then. 

I got to take a walk in the Audubon Bird Sanctuary. I can see myself living on the island, taking walks in the woods and on the beach, except that I can't exactly see how that would work. 

Brittany came out a couple of hours early yesterday afternoon, before Second Sunday Supper, and she and Papa sat at the kitchen table while I puttered around in the kitchen, and we just had a really relaxed visit. We got her to tell us about her thesis and the breach and the models she is running and she told us about Skyler doing this great kickboxing class. 

When Beverly called Friday night, I asked to speak to J.A. and I can still hear the tone in his voice when he said, "Thank you for asking to speak to me." 

Angela stayed and helped me clean up after supper so we had some little visiting time. She is really enjoying the history book she got at the estate sale.

Kennedy's eyes all alight with the art project that Barry helped her weld.

Beth sent me a text that the original Roseanne is available on Amazon. "So funny!" Rodney was lighting up the grill and they were getting ready to watch the SuperBowl.

The kitchen table was pretty empty, so I sat on the bench so that I would be across from Kim and John, and got to have a fun visit with them, and with Noah, who was also sitting there. Noah didn't get to play his regular position at practice, and they have apparently started practice late, and only have seven games. Mobile County school system just cancelled the soccer tournament so the coaches are trying to get something together.

We talked about people playing in the snow, and Kim said she used to do that. 

Chris was a little late, but not much, so he sat with us. He'd been out here that morning to put the windows in Barry's shrimp boat for him.

Evan and Chelsea were here with Jaden, and so we got big smiles from the baby.
