Saturday

Patty the Opossum

After church on Sunday, March 23, Devin drove me and Brooke to moms. The kids decided to have fun with a walker that mom keeps on stash in case she needs it.
 I was surprised at the Devin and Brooke got along so well during our visit.
When we got back in town, Brooke and I went to Wal-Mart and bought food for us to cook for dinner.
By the time I cooked on Monday, March 24, it was time to head out to do FAITH visits.
On Tuesday, March 25, we spent about 10 minutes at the Frye campaign (district attorney) meet and greet before we headed over to the theater to see God's Not Dead. I have been waiting on that movie for months.
Afterwords, Brooke enjoyed her free report card meal at Dairy Queen. And just before bedtime, we noticed a opossum  by the sidewalk. Kimba had finally caught it. Of course it was playing dead. None of us had the courage to go out, scoop it up and put it out of the fence. It finally roused up and made it's way back to the shed.
On Wednesday, March 26, we went to Fazoli's before going to Wal-Mart to buy sardines for the live trap that Stroker had borrowed. He is on a mission now to re-catch the opossum and take it away.
Thursay, March 27, we had tickets for "all you can eat" wings at tech. It was a fundraiser for Briana's Sorority. I think every TTU student on campus was there also. After we got back home, Brooke and I went to the store and bought $135 worth of junk food (literally). By the way, no luck on catching the opossum today.
Friday, March 28 had rain showers most of the day. That didn't bother Stroker though. His team (Michigan) had a ball game Friday evening and landed a spot in the Elite 8. It was scary toward the end, but they pulled it off. His brothers team (KY Wildcats) won too, so they face each other on Sunday. Update: No sign of the opossum.
Saturday, March 29, was the day Patty the opossum took the bait. She was pretty upset in that cage. We took her to a new home and set her free. She should be happy there. The day was a total washout. It poured rain all day, even while we hauled Patty away.
We laid around the house all day and we even took naps. By 6pm, we pulled ourselves together and went to a birthday dinner for my brother-in-law, Gary. He turns 50 today.
