Sunday, April 24th, 2022 in Colorado and Monday the 25th

 SUNDAY:  I suggested going to a semi-ghost town (Deer Trail) this morning, but I guess that idea did not interest Nikolai very much.  He said he did not feel like going.  He has been dealing with pain in his feet for a year or two and it seems that it has gotten worse in the past few weeks.  I told him about how I had pain in one of my feet and the podiatrist made inserts for me which gave me instant relief.  This was 20 or 21 years ago.  I think that inspired him to look online to see where he might get inserts because he made an appointment with a GOOD FEET STORE.  Christa and I accompanied him.  He decided against purchasing a very expensive package of three types of inserts, but did purchase some high end sneakers, and he said they help.  He will make an appointment with a podiatrist as soon as he can.  I purchased these socks and the salesman gave me two free pair of the same sock except shorter.  I really like them and they are great for wearing around Nik's and Christa's house.


After we left the GOOD FEET STORE, I said it was time for lunch and suggested that they pick a place.  We ended up at P.F. Changs. 


 My plate: lettuce rolls, broccoli, orange chicken and fried rice.

I have never been to one.  We had a great meal.  Nikolai and I shared the orange chicken, broccoli, fried rice and lettuce rolls.  Christa had Dynamite rolls and a glass of wine.

 Christa asked me to take a picture of her fortune: 

 Everything was delicious!  Since the bill came to about eighty dollars, I let Nik leave the tip.  

MONDAY:

Stayed here all day, watching a couple of movies.  Had a few hot discussions with Christa. I cannot and will not agree that certain people we both know should have been aborted before birth.  I stood up for those people and my heart hurts because Christa feels the way she feels.   I prepared supper for the three of us.

 Easter Sunday:  I slept fairly well last night.  While getting ready for church, I put on GAITHER SING-A-LONG 2025 !!!!   And indeed, I did sing along.  When I got to church a full half hour before the ten forty five service was going to start, the parking lot was ALMOST FULL.  There was one empty spot in the front, and in the back was almost full.  I parked in the very last pull out spot in the row.  Church was great!  I sat with Jan, Linda Stein and Marlene whose daughter and a male friend had joined her.  When church was over,  I gave Peggy a ride home and she changed clothes and she and I and David went to ANTONIO's for Easter dinner.  This was our third year doing this.  I treated them because David's eightieth birthday is coming up in eight or nine days.  I ate some cheesecake for desert and took a couple of LACTO pills to help with that.  When we were driving home, we were on Hoover Road when I reali...

Sunday March 31st through Tuesday April 1st, 2025

 SUNDAY:  After church, Marsha, her daughter Colleen, Lori and I decided to go out for lunch.  We had a hard time deciding which place to go, but finally decided on DENNYS.  I arrived first and the parking lot was NOT full, but as I waited for the others, people kept coming and I could see lots of tables waiting to be cleaned up and workers rushing around, so I decided that they were probably understaffed.  I went back out to the parking lot to wait for the others.  Marsha and Colleen drove in and I suggested we go to Arby's next door.  They drove over, and I waited for Lori.  She did not want to go to Arbys since she was there a day or so ago, so she and I decided to go to APPLEBEES, and I went over to Arbys to tell Marsha and Colleen, who had already ordered and were waiting for their food.  I apologized for all the changes.  Lori and I met up aet Applebees, and we both had the meal deal special, a drink fries and either a burger or ch...

 SUNDAY:  I got up a bit earlier than usual today because I had things to do to get ready for the COUSINS GATHERING later on here at my house.  Church was very good.  I went to DOLLAR TREE and purchased three bags of ice before going home.  When I got home, I started setting the backyard up with chairs and tables and filled my good cooler with ice and drinks.  Gail arrived first and Peggy and David arrived a few minutes later. Then Mike arrived.  He gave us the sad news that his wife Janie was just diagnosed with breast cancer, after a routine mammogram, a second mammogram and then a biopsy.  He said it was caught very early and Janie seems to be accepting the news pretty well.   David set up his grill in the garage and I brought the meat out.  He seemed disappointed that I only provided FOUR (very large) hot Italian sausage.  I suggested we cut them in half, but he did not seem to want to do that.  He cooked both the hot ...
