My Big Sister!

40 years old and things NEVER change.

My goal was to visit Lisa... REMEMBER THAT!

Last Friday (Last Friday in July), I said to myself and KIDS.. "Let's go to Bloomington"! I was hoping to help out at the store, deliver some stuff to my little (now big, Brooke) cousin who is going to a mission trip to Africa to help out orphans, and to visit Lisa. Check out Brooke's Blog..

I get to West Side Clothing(WSC) after stopping off at a produce stand to buy tomatoes. I bought a commercial tomato slicer at a garage sale earlier in the morning. Certain things I can't pass it up?! Karen, she said "I'll buy IT"! So, I bought it... The thing is awesome! Only wish she didn't pay me for it so I would have it... aaaaahhhhhh...

Back to WSC... I get there, organize my stuff for Brooke, feeling pretty accomplished, sliced some tomatoes with the kids, and I'm ready to see Lisa. Remember that!

Lisa knew I was back home, knew I was coming to visit, called me several times to make sure I was there. I LOST MY KEYS! LOOKED HIGH AND LOW... believe me High and LOW! For 3 HOURS Straight!

I/We gave up... Karen delivered the bad news to Lisa that I couldn't find my keys and she would be taking me home to pick up the spare set.

Lisa was NOT happy! She lectured me for 20 minutes on where to put my keys. Two days later.. the same lecture... 4 days later... the same lecture.... ONE WEEK LATER... I was happy to report Karen found my keys where I put them, in Parker's high chair (where I put them)... STILL a 20 minute lecture on where to put my keys!

Loving my Lisa! I hope know one ever loses their keys and tells Lisa! We did see her again just two days later on Sunday at a wonderful family reunion on my mom's side! Such a nice visit! HOWEVER, she was still upset that I couldn't come and see her the Friday before!

  1. Yes, did Amy say we looked high and low, we sure did and I finally I said Amy I'm driving you home so we packed up the car with the kids and off to Champaign, then back to Bloomington. Lisa did say just do what you have to that's fine.

  2. I think everybody needs to have a clapper on their keys. Wouldn't the world be a much happier place if we did?
