Lucy

My friend Lucy from Florida finally came back to the area for a few weeks. She was reluctant to do so because of the memories of her husband who died in Sept. 2006. They had lived here most of their lives.

I picked her up at her sisters condo in Falls Church yesterday at 11:00 AM and we drove to Sterling to see our old neighborhood. Then we went to Costco because she wanted to pick up some things, which we left in the basket because the lines were down the aisles. Then we went to lunch at "Pacific Rim" which I had remembered as a good restaurant. Wrong!!! Maybe their dinners are better than lunches, but it was terrible. SORRY LUCY.

Then we were off to where I thought the Walmart was but it is now a Target. Guess I should have reacquainted myself with the area. She got her things there anyway and we couldn't think of anything else to do so I headed back to Falls Church. Then she wanted to go to Giant and I screwed up again and took her to a Whole Foods instead. Turns out she was so impressed with their produce that she was glad we went there.

Then it was back to the condo where I dropped her in front and headed back home. It was a good visit and I will be seeing her again on Saturday at her family get-together, to which I am always invited. ???????????? Guess they like me.

Jeffery called this morning to say he has an interview tomorrow for a construction job. Boy, would that ever make me happy and proud. Maybe getting together with his daughter after all these years has changed his attitude. I can only hope. Good Luck, Jeffrey!!!
