Day Fifty 2011


Neil and I enjoyed watching our Grandpeeps Shelby and Elijah at the skating rink this afternoon. They are spending the weekend with us while their parents are out of town.

Elijah likes to skate, but I think he has more fun playing the arcade games at the rink.

Headed over to Cream City Ice Cream Shop for some frozen treats after skating. Elijah was so worn out, he almost fell asleep in the window seat.

We finally got a chance to check out the Cookeville Depot Museum. It's usually closed when we go for ice cream at Cream City,which is just across the street from the depot. Lots of cool railway memorabilia from a time long gone and totally lost upon these two, who would rather climb around inside the train cars than look at vintage steamer trunks and train schedules.
Daughter Kelly came in this afternoon and demonstrated her jump rope moves from back in the day. She's still got it! Good times! Great Saturday! Hope yours was, too!

Day Twenty Eight 2011


Grand peeps Shelby and Elijah are spending the night with us tonight while their mom and dad celebrate their anniversary. We enjoyed supper at Ocha, then headed to Ralph's for some tasty doughnuts, and then on the spur of the moment, ended up at the skating rink for some Friday night roller derby. Neil and I abstained from the skating for fear of a broken hip, not to mention being laughed at by about a hundred teenagers. But we enjoyed watching the kids skate and play games like ski ball and vintage Pac Man. Good times! Happy TGIF, y'all!
