more adventures with Frank

Frank and I got up early this morning. Actually, Frank and I did not sleep much last night. Frank is not a comfortable sleeping companion. Anyway, we decided that we needed an early start to the day because we had errands to run outdoors. In the heat. Which isn't much fun when several unmentionable body parts are covered with adhesive tape.
We decided to make pancakes for breakfast.

Notice Frank has a new look. He decided to jazz up his floral look with some hearts and "hello kitty" stickers. What a classy guy.

Safety first. Even Frank buckles up.

Our first stop was Lowe's. Frank was impressed with all the gadgets and tools. I didn't think I'd ever get him out of the dangly hooky wires department.

Our next stop was LifeWay. Frank wanted to check out the book "No Other Gods" as companion reading to the bible study. I think he's afraid that I might be missing something. Or that reading might reinforce some of God's ideas. We also picked up our copy of Third Day's new CD. Frank is a big Mac Powell fan.

I also introduced Frank to Mary Jane and Helen. (Helen is the one on the left.) They were excited to meet him since they'd heard so much about him. Frank thought they were pretty cool too.

Our next stop was Wal-mart. Neither Frank nor I particularly care for grocery shopping but it's a necessary evil. Josh would go if I asked him too but then who would get my impulse snacks? You know...the ones that leap off the shelf and into your cart. Frank and I did pretty good today though. The only extra thing we got was a new nail file. (We even said "no" to the chocolate covered almonds...which happen to be someone's newest snack obsession. And that someone is regretting saying no.)

Then we were off to the library. We had some books to return. We finished A Vineyard in Tuscany. Frank and I both really liked it. Of course, we are Ferenc fans. We're ready to rush off and buy an abandoned friary right now!
Alas, it's finally time for Frank to go back home. To be perfectly honest, as much fun as Frank and I have had, I'm not sorry to see him go. (but don't tell him I said so.) Once Frank spills his guts about everything he knows about me, I should meet with the doctor sometime next week and get the scoop. I'll let you know how it goes.

Have a blessed evening!

Sounds like you and Frank had a great day. I need to go to the grocery store today, I am already dreading it.

Have a blessed Sabbath.

Oh the adventures of Frank the heart monitor. I did that once also, and I think it was winter--good plan for not having a plan, I see now. You are in my prayers. I have a feeling last night and today are big days for you with Lifeway hosting the simulcast. Love, Annette

I had no idea who Frank was in the first picture. I thought he was a spatula for those pancakes. I thought, cute! Then... I finally realized I better read the last post I missed about your new BFF. You are in my prayers, dear friend! I was at the Simulcast! It was amazing!!
Love to you this afternoon! By the way, I LOVE your new look! It's just adorable!!!
