An Outing With An Old Friend

I went on an outing with my old friend, Rhonda, yesterday. We hit a few thrift stores, but didn’t come up with anything there. Then we went to a couple of antique malls in Broken Arrow.

We were a bit woozy from the heat at that point, so she located a Sonic Drive-In, and we ordered cherry limeaids. I hadn’t had one of those in ages. It sure tasted good on such a hot day.

Then we went to one last antique mall, where I found a few things I’ll show you later. I didn’t spend more than $10 on any one item. I think I spent forty-something dollars total. Rhonda didn’t find anything on this outing. I’m sure there will be many more outings, though.

She and I took up like we’d never been apart, though we hadn’t been in contact for over 50 years. It’s nice to have found my old friend. If you’d told me a year ago that we’d see each other again, I’d have been astonished. Funny how these things just happen out of the blue.

Then Rhonda drove back in the direction of my house. We stopped at a local Mexican drive-thru for Taco Tuesday, just down the road, and ordered tacos to bring home and eat.

Those street tacos tasted so darned good after an afternoon of shopping. Taco Tuesday meant we paid ten dollars for six tacos.

So that was fun. We’ll have to do that again. It was fun going to thrift stores and antique malls.

The Kitties & The Fly:

Yesterday evening, a fly got into the house. You know what that means with cats. They leaped in the air trying to catch it, but I don’t think they ever did. However, I don’t see it today. So something happened to it.

Daisy gets most upset when there’s a fly inside buzzing around. Sometimes she’ll cry until I manage to smack it down with something.

Greg & His Daughter:

Greg walked his oldest daughter down the aisle in Dallas last Saturday. I haven’t talked to him yet to find out how things went. He has two beautiful daughters; one is approximately 22 years old, and the other is 3 years old. I’ve met the younger daughter.

He was to give a speech and was a bit nervous about that, so I’ll be interested in finding out if things went smoothly for him. Then, of course, there was the father/daughter dance he was to take part in. I imagine that would have been an emotional time for both of them.

Family Tidbits:

Kasi and her family are in Branson this week. They’re supposed to return to Tulsa sometime on Saturday. School will start in about a month, and then everyone will look forward to fall. Andrew is now 11 years old.

Riley is taking a gap year to take online and Zoom classes. He hopes to go to law school in the fall of 2026. Marley is 16 and in high school.

I haven’t talked to Kendra this week, so I don’t know what she’s up to.
