Birthday Greetings

Happy Birthday Melissa! We love you very much. After strict instructions not to call too early, we gave Melissa a call around lunch time (our time) and had a nice conversation. She was busy celebrating her birthday with a group of friends at lunch yesterday and then she was going to a girlfriend's house to spend the afternoon hanging out and going to dinner.

We were up and after breakfast headed to the lounge to see if any of our service mates were up and about. Dick had been up since 5:30 (what???) so we visited until his wife, Phyllis came in. After a while, Rick and Y came in to say their goodbyes as they were heading east. We wished them safe travels as there was severe weather warnings everywhere in Kansas it seemed. I spoke with them later this evening and they made it safely to Kansas City where severe weather was still threatening after midnight. Hopefully, the bad weather will dissipate and no one is threatened or has to experience any tornadoes--they scare the jeepers out of me.

After Rick and Y left, we sat and talked with Dick and Phyllis until we broke up for lunch. When we returned to the lounge, there was no one around so I watched the Weather Channel while John played solitaire. Phyllis came in to take a shower but we got engaged in conversation so it took her almost three hours before she got her shower taken.

Another couple (Dick and Kris) from Minnesota came in for service whom we met here last year in May. It is always nice when you cross paths with nice people. Before we knew it, it was 7:30 p.m. and we hadn't had dinner yet. The time has just flown by.

We have to be up around 5:30 a.m. as we have to be showered and out of our rig by 6:30 a.m. with the slides pulled in, and be ready to have the rig taken into the service bay. I know, those of you still working have no sympathy.
