I met Dave!!!

Dave e-mailed me that we was coming through town (I live just south of Omaha) so we met after church for lunch. He told me what road he would be using and asked if there was a Wal*Mart of something like that so he would be able to park his truck. I told him exactly where it was...not mentioning that Michael's is in the same parking lot! hehe When I called him as we were leaving church, I caught him just getting back to his truck after going shopping. We ate at Applebee's. He had brought his scrapbooks and we got to see all the exciting places he has been and (of course) all of y'all that he has met. He was the first one from RCS who I have met. I found out he spent the night an hour away and scolded him for that. I told him that he would have to stay with us the next time he was coming through town. It's not the Ritz, but we are comfortable.

DH took some pictures, but I don't know what to do with them. MC, you are the computer guru. These are digital. Can I send them to you and you can post them somewhere? I promise that one day I will figure out how to do this, but I am completely clueless when it comes to this.

I got the call...he's almost up here! We're meeting for breakfast and some *light shopping* tommorrow before he has to go *to work*. :-)

I have a 50% off coupon for Michael's and it's almost a brand new store! My usual LSS is closed for the holiday tommorrow or we'd stop in there. Depending on time (and if they're open tommorrow) we may check out Hobby Lobby, haven't been in there in awhile... Last time Dave came through town, we had fun shopping. (NOooooooooooooo, we aren't FLASSes or FLOOZIEs around here, are we?)

I'll update you on Dave's travels more tommorrow when I send him on his way.

Welllllllllllllllllllllll, the kids and I sent Dave on his way about

1pm yesterday afternoon. The boys needed naps and Dave needed to get to work. But-- before that, we had a good time! We had breakfast at an awesome place here in town called Blackberry's. (If anyone is ever near Joliet, IL...call me, you have to try this place!) Then we checked out Hobby Lobby, Hancock's and Michael's (I have a 50% off coupon...hehehe!).

Can you believe that Dave, the paper floozy, didn't buy any paper? And, he only bought 2 sheets at Michael's the day before? BUT-- he did enable me to buy some eyelets and brads that were on sale at Michael's for CHEAP! And I couldn't let Dave go home without some new paper....hehehehe....The last time we met, he saw a paper that I used in my parents' anniversary book, and I had been looking for it for him ever since. Well, I found it in a pack at Michael's entitled "Americana". Sooooooooooooo, I had to get the pack. (I had to use my

50% coupon on something good!)

By the time we were done, John (my 2 year old) was loudly letting everyone know that it was nap time...soooooooooooo, we had to go.

Dave is a dear and always a joy to visit with! Our teddy bear that drives a truck has left his mark again! My kids now know him as

*Stric* (uncle in Slovenian) Dave.

Reporting from Joliet, IL... :-) Theresa

He slept on the couch Wednesday night.

Talk about timing. I just got home from work and checked to see if the caller id was flashing. He left a message so I called him. He passed a sign that said Gardner 4 miles as I was talking to him. He parked the truck and I picked him up and we came back to my house. We didn't go out running around. He looked so tired I thought I'd let him rest. He took me out to the Golden Corral for dinner and we came home and watched INXS and my mom and I got to see all (or all that he brought anway) of his albums. I know you've heard it before, but that album April made is unbelievable. The journal that Jessie made him is great too. I had to leave for work before 6 Thursday so my mom got him back to his truck. It was a nice visit. Next time your here Dave we'll get to Archivers and maybe there'll be time for the Scrapbook Page too.
