Great Week or Greatest Week

The week began on Saturday with a birthday party for my cousin who turns fourteen in four days.  I had a wonderful time and good food with the Arkansas half of my family.

On Sunday I got to hear three lessons at church from guest speaker Patrick Mead.  Also a long lost friend made a surprise return to Little Rock.

Monday I had a front row seat at Dickey Stephens Park for the 11 am game.  The Travs won 6-3 despite only getting six hits.  That night I was back at PV for another dose of Patrick Mead.

I can't remember anything that happened on Tuesday.  It must have been a lovely lazy day.  That may have been the day that I completed the last of the major story lines of Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion.  Time spent playing Oblivion has been a major contributor to the demise of this blog.

I returned to PV on Wednesday for Patrick Mead's finale.

Thursday I successfully talked myself out of mowing the yard and traveled to Clinton.

On Friday I hitched a ride to Lexington, that included a stop at the Dairy Queen.  In addition to the usual family fun, I watched the first of two little league baseball games.

Saturday started with donuts and then another trip to the baseball park.  Later there was a double birthday party, but alas no presents for me.

After church on Sunday the chocolate fountain at Golden Corral filled me to bursting with some help from the rest of the buffet.  Then I went to the pool and swam off a small portion of that feast.

I spent nine hours in the car on Monday, a small price to pay for all that came before it.  The DQ was again one of our stops.

The week wasn't perfect.  I did work three days last week, but a three day work week is an improvement from the norm.  I am slightly sunburned, but considering how much more time I spent in the sun than I usually do, it could have been much worse.

You may have noticed that this week lasted ten days.  There was just too much to cram into the usual seven days, so the week had to be extended.
