Driving Mrs. Daisies

Yesterday was Lucie's day off so we decided to run some errands and bring our friend along who recently broke her foot. So we went down to the friend's house and loaded her in and off we went. The first stop was Costco's. Our friend hopped in one of those electric carts and was on her way. I went off to do my thing and when I came back, I found she and Lucie hadn't gone 10 feet inside the door. And loaded in the front basket of the cart was a giant, flowering bush! It looked like some poor attempt to camouflage herself! There was no way I was going to walk around with them with a big orange flag waving off the back of the cart and a big bush in the front. So I grabbed it and paid for it and took it to the car. We had a quick lunch there and headed off for our next stops. Which included dropping off the bush at the friend's mother's house, picking up Ashleigh and her friend at school to take her to another town where she had a lacrosse game. BUT, she wanted to see her friend's game before her game so there were a lot of logistics to work through. Meanwhile, another friend was getting off of work at 4 and the ladies wanted to meet her at a scrap booking store near her house but she had dinner plans. This friend managed to scoot in for a few seconds and hook up with them before she scampered off. We finally got Ashleigh and her friend ferried around between games and left them at her field for her game. (They lost 3-14. This school charges admission so we didn't stay.) We took our friend home and the mother of Ashleigh's friend brought Ashleigh back here. It was kind of a fun day though.

There were some fights and arrests earlier this week at Ashleigh's high school. She was right there when some kid got his face stomped and it was a bloody mess. There were rumors of a big retaliation today so I let her stay home. Lucie went to the school and there were a lot of police there. She met with the administration and they had a handle on things.

Basketball was OK last night. We only had 7 people out but I played well and it was a good workout.

It is hard to believe that you have 1 friend, but 2!!! Come on, what kind of lies are you trying to spread on the blog.

wow for a little more than the first half you sound like you are becoming a woman.... altho. retaliations never happen. the school gets nearly a dozen cops. nothing ever really goes down. Some how in my 4 years there i wish i saw some of those fights go down. i saw a few small ones but never much blood. wow. maybe then i could get to stay home.
