On the way out of town, we stopped to see Ginger&#8217;s friend Mary, who loaded us up with enough brownies and peanut butter cookies to feed an army &#8211; and they are delicious! We arrived home in time to pick up Mom and have dinner with David and Alison. We had a lovely dinner on their backporch overlooking the lake, then we went out on the boat to look at the super-moon &#8211; gorgeous!<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3340\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/DSC_2249.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3340\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3340\" alt=\"Super-moon (notice the heart shape?)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/DSC_2249-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2249-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2249.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3340\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Super-moon (notice the heart shape?)<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3341\" style=\"width: 209px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/DSC_2241.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3341\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3341\" alt=\"Mom on the lake\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/DSC_2241-199x300.jpg\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2241-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2241.jpg 425w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3341\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mom on the lake<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3342\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/DSC_2237.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3342\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3342\" alt=\"With David\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/DSC_2237-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2237-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2237.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3342\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">With David<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">John and I spent the following morning on the boat with them again. It&#8217;s always so peaceful in the mornings and beautiful &#8211; a great way to enjoy our coffee! Afterward we yakked with David for a while, then dropped him off downtown at the art gallery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Cousin Julie came to visit us at Mom&#8217;s house on Wednesday afternoon &#8211; so nice to get caught up with her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Thursday John went up to Rusty&#8217;s for the day. I met David and Alison for breakfast at Perkins. It rained pretty much all day and has really cooled things off. I took Mom to the beauty shop and ran some errands the rest of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Friday John and I hit the road to Little Rock. He dropped me off at the new Southwest Power Pool headquarters (what a neat building!) so I could go to lunch with Leslie. We had fun catching up at Senior Tequila&#8217;s &#8211; always good to see her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Yesterday we went to see our favorite masseuse, Janet Gilliam &#8211; she is incredible! Later Mom took us out for a nice steak dinner at the Porterhouse downtown. We took the scenic route home over West Mountain &#8211; so pretty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">We&#8217;ve been enjoying going to the gym every morning, trying new wine from our favorite wine store, and watching reruns of The Middle and Big Bang Theory.
