This is the Day!

....the Lord Has Made. Wow what a beautiful day.....and now I have to leave and go to Florida! It better be as nice there. I looked at the 10 day forecast and it looks good there too! So I have high hopes of the Sun Shining on me everyday.
Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the First Friday group of women I dine with monthly, were meeting at Good Earth near Rosedale. I had nothing keeping me from joining them and was so pleased as the last two months I was unable to join in the dining and conversation of a great group of women. I worked with all of them at St. Tim's years ago (a lot of years ago) and we started by having dinner on the First Friday of the month so we donned that name.....but as you note....yesterday was a Monday....we no longer meet on Friday much less the first one of each month.
I ran errands early in the day and then left home at 5 p.m. heading for Rosedale thinking I would be able to find Good Earth without a problem....WRONG. I drove all around Rosedale which is no easy task in itself. Then I parked and picked up my Blackberry and tried to find it online....but Google wasn't working....so I had to turn it off and reboot it. But then a young man pulled up and I opened the window and asked him if he knew where Good Earth was, but he didn't. He pulled out his Iphone, and finally found it, and showed me on a map that it was on Hwy 36 and it the quick glance looked like it was kiddy corner across from Rosedale....I'm thinking near Snelling and 36 area.....so I drive over there....and end up on 36 and Hamlin on the North side of the highway to no avail....so I find another place to park and pull out the Blackberry again, and this time I find Good Earth and I actually call them and ask them how to get there. The women told me to go back west on 36 to Fairview and then go to the Frontage Rd.....well from Hamlin and 36 you can't get back on 36 going west....so I went back to Cty Rd B2 and took that back across to Fairview and then headed to the Frontage Rd and took that all the way back to Snelling again to no avail. So I then finally decided that it must be on the other side of 36 and drove back to Fairview and headed to the other side of the highway and finally found them....it was no 5:55. The group had given up on me and finally ordered and got their food shortly after I arrived.....but I did have a great meal and great conversation as usual with that group. The hunt and frustration was well worth the end.
I returned home and finished readying myself for the trip....talking to Annie about the meeting spot and seating arrangements and luggage etc. They will take all the checked luggage and bring it directly to my room at Disney....how great is that. I won't have to lug it from baggage pickup to the shuttle bus and then up to my room.....how great it that?! To me that is priceless! Now if they would do that on the return it would be even better. But then this voice tells me "Don't push it pig!"
My health was great yesterday and I'm great again today, and I'm sure I will be great tomorrow. Thank you for all those prayers, and I'll try and update you during the next week on how great I am then too! Love and prayers, m
