the visit

the last time my dad came to visit was 3 years ago - for christmas. i am ever grateful he flew in. he does have a work conference this week but he came in two days early so we could spend time together. he had the pleasure of meeting the large creature that lives upstairs. Pink. no, seriously, that is her name, Pink.

a friend recommended this place. "by the creek! it's really cool!" well it was a nice eatery but you couldn't really tell you were by the river because the patio was closed and the blinds were down. 

                                                                                  

however, i did have this. i did not eat it at one setting but as my daughter said,  

"Diabetuhs tastes delicious" funny girl.

one placed we stopped was were buffalo bill was buried. i let someone take these photos. OBVIOUSLY there is something wrong.

of course you have to do the tourist thing and shop. i found pony on steroids.

and watching football. my goodness i used to hate football season when i was growing up. i'm so old that our house only had one tv. sundays and mondays were football, football, football. i think every once in awhile i would get to see disney's program on sunday night, but pretty much football.

now i am a fan of one team. and i don't watch any other football than that team. but, yep, dad i town meant more football. college football, packers and kansas city. well, at least i've come to enjoy football at some level. and there was always my ipad. 

oh. and my dad has a fitbit. this totally shocked me as he has two bad knees. he and his lady have one and the compete daily. we are somewhat competing as well. he continually gets in 6 if not 7k daily. i'm barely making 4k. but, that's the point of having a fitbit. it tells you how much your not exercising, you can keep track of your food, water and sleep. 

the next time i have someone visit for more than one night i will need to get an airbed. my new couch is comfortable but an airbed would be better.

peace out people
