My mom wanted a card for Kyle’s graduation so I had made one last night and dropped it off today at her house. 
I had also picked up some groceries for her because she’s still considered home bound and it sounds like there pretty serious about staying inside. At first I thought it would be a pretty good gig. I mean, staying inside.. taking naps… hanging out. But the more that I thought about it, I could probably only last a couple of days. It would be one of those things that when you’re not supposed to go anywhere – that’s when you just have to go! But she’s been doing pretty good with her restrictions and hopefully this week she’ll have good news at her checkup.
And just as I was leaving, she said that she needed some letters dropped off at the Post Office. Now she didn’t want them put in the mailbox, but she wanted them dropped off inside with the Postmaster. No big deal but it was 3:56 pm and the Post Office closes at 4:00. It’s a good thing that she lives close otherwise I’m not sure that I would have made it. But my car was facing the right direction and I got downtown just in time. I know the Postmaster and she probably wouldn’t have cared if I was even a little late.
Then home I went to see where we’re going for tonight’s fish fry. Just as I was turning on our gravel road I realized that the days this spring of our roads looking good were now over. Every year we have water that runs over the roads and washes the gravel out. It’s no big deal to drive over them but you will learn really fast what’s the right way and what’s the wrong way. The right was is to scope the situation out first. It’s kind of like a puzzle and you want to see just how bad the ruts in the road are and then where you should drive. The wrong way is it to just drive and hit these water hazards going fast. The front part of your car goes one way and the back of your car goes the other way and somewhere in between you feel like you’re car is on a bucking bronco in the circus. I’m thinking that it’s not too good for you or your car. Oh yea.. I almost forgot, not that I’ve done this before 🙂 I snapped a couple of pictures to show how the road looked today. I guess we’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Today is Friday YEA!! We usually go out with my brother and sister in law for a fish fry, but they were busy tonight so it’s just Daryl and I. We decided to head over to Alta Vista for their fish fry and band. But once again we got to this fish fry late and all the cod was gone. We ordered a fish sandwich and shrimp off the menu. It was OK, but next week we’ll have to leave earlier to get in on the fish special.
So what is the picture of the day? It’s the local Post Office that my Mom goes to. It may be small, but as Martha Stewart would say, ‘It’s a good thing’
