Stacey's Birthday
Friday, Stacey's friend, Jason had out patient surgery on his right
foot. He had called late that evening, but was still under the influence
of the pain medication.
Saturday morning, Linda gave Stacey some
things for her birthday and we both spanked her playfully. Linda called
Stephanie and asked if Stacey could visit Jason and that was ok, so we
were going there after we ate lunch. We stopped in town and picked up a
'get better' card and a 'feel better' balloon for Jason, then ate and
went to Tommy and Stephanie's house. Linda and Stacey went inside and I
talked to Tommy and Hoy while they were draining the water out of their
travel trailers. After they finished, we went inside and I talked to
Jason a little while. He was doing fairly well, still taking some meds
to ease the pain though. His medication was starting to make him groggy
and he needed to take a nap, so we said good bye and left. Back at the
farm, Stacey found a delivery from the florist. Jason had sent her
flowers for her birthday, but hadn't mentioned it while we were over
there. Stacey was excited to get those and called Jason later to thank
him for the flowers. I used the tractor to spread out two dump truck
loads of dirt in Regina's front yard. I picked up the dirt with the
scoop and then spread it with the grader box. It took over an hour to
get it leveled out. We took Stacey and went to Columbia and ate a late
dinner. Stacey had received a few clothes, several birthday cards,
flowers from Jason, went out to eat and her brother called to wish her
happy birthday, so she seemed happy about the entire day.
