Everyday things


I am going to a Red Hat luncheon today with Dixie, Carol Jo, and Verla.   It suddenly occurred to me that all 3 are widows except me.  life is changing for all of us.  I read that to be able to stay healthy at an old age, you need to be adaptable.   Well, I guess we really don't have a choice.  Hmmmm I could work on my driving, but I have gotten along so far.....  

I started back at the Y swim class and WOW I do feel so much better.   I didn't realize what a difference it makes in your mobility.   I love all the people in the class, they each have a special personality and we seem to know each other really well by first name only. 

Beth and Dan were here for dinner last night.  It sometimes startles me a bit to see them without the girls, but this will be more and more.   They have done a good job of raising those girls and I am confident that they will get their educations and have a good life.  I am always grateful that I had my parents for parents....some kids just don't have a chance at life without good parenting.  

Gary is working today and has finally settled down to the $71.00 I spent for the butter boat for Lora.  What else do you get for someone who has everything????

I am sooo grateful today that the sun in shining and that Margie has cleaned by house so I can go galavating (sp) around.  I am grateful for Beth and her new figure and her job that she loves at Augie.   I am grateful for Chris for calling me everyday on the train.   So sweet....I can't wait to see him.  I have everything I need.....but there's always something to want!!!!!  

Til Later 
ps.   I forgot to give Beth the better picture of us.....

For someone who has everything: a stiletto doorstop. Here's a link, I thought you'd get a kick out of it:
