Past few days have been a lot of fun. My childhood friend and now adult partner in crime, Kay, came to visit. She initially was only going to spend Monday night and be on her way. Today is Thursday and I tearfully hugged her goodbye this afternoon.
What a fine time we have had. Cooked chickens on the grill, helped Harold Bailey celebrate his 89th birthday with a grand steak party at Ribeyes, laughed at John's fond memories of taking my mother out to see Boots Randolph's night club in Nashville TN in 1987.
I was tired and couldn't go, but John took Kay out to visit a sweet potato farm and processing center, hitch a ride with someone and they ran out of gas, she got asked by the potato workers if she was John's daughter--ha ha ha- what fun she had with that one!!, she had her first meal at Strickland Dail's (said she ate more than John did and is still talking about the biscuits and country style steak), she went out for a walk and got chased up a tree stump by 5 barking dogs, enjoyed an impromptu dinner (when friends brought it over for the sick and shut in) and "party on the porch" with John, Joan, Paula, Harold, and me...we got a pedicure, picked out 2 lbs of crab meat, and made all sorts of grand plans for the future! Wow....what fun. My friend Kay has been described as being like a "party in a box"....and I guess that is a great description of her.
