Awake: 7:10am Cloudy Overnight @ Anchorage, AK
We both have cereal with yogurt for breakfast before driving over to that
great area of College Village....this time, to visit our dear ole friend
Mary S. For 2.3 hrs we chat & discuss the time lost since our last
rendezvous. Mary is doing real good these days; she lost her husband & my
good ole buddy friend Knobby about 2 yrs ago. It was tough on us & even
tougher on her. Whenever I was in town, Knobby & I would talk each & every
day on the phone. Sometimes for just 5 min, but it could easily be 20 to 40
min. That guy gave me a lot of insight to logical tips on life throughout
the yrs. Mary and Kathy not only volunteered together at the Log Cabin and
Native Hospital for several years but were also good friends.
Mary S. has many good & loyal friends & a very busy social life. She does
keep a very active daily social calendar. During our visit, she had
scheduled a friend who visited also. Kathleen was something else: a
natural born comedienne who had us laughing nearly the entire 30 min
visit.
About 12:30pm Mary suggests lunch & selected the famous "Lucky Wishbone"
restaurant. Knobby & I went there often; it was one of his favorites. I
suggest using 2 cars due to our next appointment across town. We follow
Mary to the L.W.; the line went clear out the door. OK, then Mary leads us
to "Tiffinys." This was a nice quiet place where we continued our catching
up on the yrs plus the food was good too. At some point, we felt we had
talked enough. Say our goodbyes to Mary & drive across town to Jeff's
office & discuss our 2005 tax return. That took less than an hr so next we
attend 5:00pm Mass @ St. Pat's church for the Vigil of Palm Sunday.
After Mass, we drive 15 min & meet up with our ole neighbor, Bill & Debby
@ Romano's Italian restaurant for dinner. This too, was really enjoyable
as they also have a motorhome & are soon to advertize their home for sale
& travel the lower 48 states in retirment. With the helpful ideas & advice
from my friend Ray in Ocean Shores, WA., they now have a beautiful pole
barn with a lean-to built as temporary living quarters plus a storage
place for their Country Coach motorhome. Bill & Debby are fun & we always
have a lot to talk about.
Lights out: 11:13pm
