THURSDAY THINGS

Can you believe it's April already?  I swear, the older I get the faster time goes by.

I have a pre-op appointment today with my dermatologist for my eyelid surgery and lipo.  Only a couple more weeks till I get them done.  I'm a little anxious about the eyelid surgery as I'll be awake.  The thought of someone cutting the skin directly above my eyeball is a little scary.  But the doctor has done this surgery plenty of times and he knows what he's doing.  I trust him.

Dom and I went to the Blue Willow Inn for lunch on Tuesday.   We had a great meal.  I had mostly vegetables - green beans, fried green tomatoes, mashed potatoes with gravy (and a little bit of roast beef), candied sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese (OK, that's not a vegetable but it's delicious).  Dom had a couple pieces of fish that he said was fantastic.  Finished off the meal with some coconut custard pie and some pecan pie and a mixed fruit cobbler for Dom.  Well worth the price and the drive.

We bowled yesterday and took 4 of the 8 points, which keeps our team close to the top with 3 weeks left in the season.  My last game was good - I had 5 strikes in a row and wound up with a 201.  That's my first 200 game this season in this league.

We're planning a trip down to the zoo in Atlanta soon, hopefully next week.  Our little panda cub, Po, is now out in the dayroom all morning.  He's at a really cute age right now, so I want to see him and take a bunch of pictures.  There's also a new tiger area that I want to see.

My daughter Donna has been remodeling her bathroom since just before Christmas.  She's been so busy at work that she hasn't had time to do much on it.  She finally bit the bullet and hired someone to help her finish. He'll be out today to move some plumbing pipes, install her vanities, baseboards and quarter round, and paint.  The whole room (except for a shower door) should be finished by the weekend or early next week.  I'm sure she'll be happy to have it done.  It's going to look really nice.

My niece Melissa and her husband Jon welcomed a new addition to their family on Tuesday.  I saw her picture, and Miss Emma is beautiful.  Congratulations Missy and Jon!  My brother Paul and sister-in-law Joann are in Lexington to give Missy a hand.  I bet Joann can't keep her hands off that baby!

And that's about all that's going on in our neck of the woods.

I'm sure you're well aware that Southerners do consider macaroni and cheese a vegetable. It sounds like you're busy!
