Thankful for a much cooler weather for the week. It was in the 80's here at home and it was in the 70's while I was on vacation.
Thankful to get many things done before my friends get away. After church on Sunday, I picked up my trip information and itinerary travel pack. Then I went to the Good Feet Store and the Riverside Plaza and found some really comfy shoes by Brooks. But the Good Feed store only carries whole sizes. Tomorrow I will go to back to REI to return my white shoes I got and get some black Brooks.
Thankful that my friend Stephanies' car was so comfortable for the ride to San Luis Obispo. We stopped at a placed in Summerland for breakfast. I rarely eat bacon, but I sure did enjoy it. After we left, I noticed my throat was hurting more. I thought it was just my nose spray, but it felt worse. Thankful that I did not feel sick. We got to The Apple Farm Inn around 3 and got settled in our rooms which were very nice. Later we took a drive to Avila Beach and then found a place for dinner. Though the beds were comfortable, I had a hard time sleeping. I took a Motrin and had some Vicks for my nose that helped a bit. Thankful that I had brought those with me!
Tuesday morning and I still had a sore throat. Thankful that I did not feel achy or have a headache, but I had sinus breakfast. I can't remember if it was before or after breakfast, but we did stop by to CVS and I got some throat lozenges and Tylenol decongestant. We had breakfast at the Madonna Inn. The food was good and we enjoyed the eclectic atmosphere.
The next morning we ate at the Apple Tree Inn Restaurant. My friend Carole and I share a breakfast with home fried potatoes and chicken sausage along with eggs and toast. After that we left to Pismo Beach.
After breakfast we went to the San Luis Obispo Mission
We had dinner at Pismo and some of us stayed and some of us went back to the room. The lobby always provided coffee, tea and hot apple cider. They gave us warm cookies too. We left by 9am the next morning at we got home around 2. Thankful for a fun, safe friends road trip.
Finally, I am thankful that our family got to walk Jazzy on the field for Senior night. There was a photographer there and I hope to get the family picture. Here is the picture of us with her. We took this during halftime when they were presenting the senior football pictures. It was weird to be at a game and not seeing her cheering. But she chose Sports Medicine over cheer that will look better on her college admissions. She has more time to work on her dual classes which are transferrable to college.
During her presentation, she had on her varsity jacket, and a sash and crown.
Clown (1965)
SATURDAY 9 Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) Not everyone loves clowns. "Coulrophobia" is the irrational fear of clowns. Do you have any fears or phobias? I don't like snakes, but I can't say I have any phobias.
2) This week's featured artist, Gary Lewis, sings that he jokes a lot at parties. In social settings, are you more a talker or a listener? Talker
3) He's dreaming of a special girl. Do you often daydream? I get ideas for Bible journaling.
4) Gary named his band The Playboys because they were always late to rehearsals and Gary joked that they would rather play than work. Do you tend to be early, late, or exactly on time? On time.
5) Gary Lewis had first-hand knowledge of clowns. His father was famous funny man Jerry Lewis. Who always makes you laugh? My son Daniel and my grandson Elijah.
6) In 2017, Gary was in the news when it became known that Jerry disinherited all six of his sons from his will. Have you ever attended the reading of a will? No.
7) This past summer found Gary Lewis on The My Generation Tour, performing with other acts from the mid-1960s, like The Lovin' Spoonful, The Hollies, and Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. Do you enjoy listening to "the oldies?" Yes and I am an oldie. I liked music from 40's-70's because it reminds me of my parents. 70's was our music. I love music! I mostly listen to Christian music.
8) In 1965, when this song was popular, Muhammad Ali defeated Sonny Liston to become the heavyweight champion of the world. Have you ever attended a boxing match? No.
