tickled
Back on track.
Mary gave Mother her weekly styling.
I learned that Harrison likes to have his feet tickled.
Harrison was all tuckered out from tickles.
For lunch: vegetable beef soup, featuring peas and yellow squash from brother George's garden. George's tomato on the side. Cantaloupe appetizers. Strawberry shortcake for dessert.
After cards, Delores picked up Marion and Andrea took Mother home.
The weekly game of rummy.
Talked to Bill Spence on the phone. He had me call Mr. Pascal, a possible client.
Town run. Mary and I deposited three checks at First Farmers.
Call from Mother's cousin Joan. We chatted a long time about the Dunn family.
In a celebratory mood. Heck with the diet. For supper I had a toasted pepper jack cheese on rye sandwich, mustard potato salad and a bowl of black cherry ice cream with dark chocolate chunks in it.

Good for you, John. Every once in a while, it's important for the soul, that one lets loose a bit. Toast and dark chocolate are both good for the digestion, anyway.
Sounds like a good day! I suppose a little ice cream is a tasty treat and like Gary said - good for the spirit! I had a pumpkin pecan "cement mixer" at Culvers. It is confirmed - dairy after 12noon gives me leg cramps. No more ice cream in the evening!
sounds like a perfect day ~
What a nice day.
Your title reminded me of my married daughter's visit. I am never tickled by anyone--for years. For some reasons she grabbed my knee and it tickled like crazy and she would not let go. She had this weird smile on her face. My wife and single daughter rescued me.
The top picture reminds me of once while in highschool my mother gave me a perm. It wasn't a good look, especially since she only did the top. I had long hair even back then so I had a poodle on top and straight like spaghetti from the ears down. I couldn't wait for it to grow out.
I like Mary's orange print top. The color goes well with her skin tone. It's a happy warm color.
I'm glad to read that you allowed yourself a non diet meal. Though all of your food usually looks good, it's good for ones soul to be able to indulge once in awhile ( I think I do so too often actually).
