FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES

I watched the movie FORREST GUMP last night, I am glad I was in my apartment alone because I cried (again). It is such a sweet movie. I started watching GOD'S LITTLE ACRE but could not stay with it. I know it is a classic but ...... Maybe something will be better tonight. We have good current movies every Thursday in the activity romm on a big screen. But they are at 1:00 in afternoon and that cuts into my nap time. Can't let that happen. The sun is out today and temp is cool compared to what we have been having, I think I need to go to Wal Mart. See you later,

THURSDAY RAIN

Much needed showers this morning, I have laundry to do, I love to run that washer and dryer when it is raining. Takes me back to days when I at least had a washer but no dryer. In those " good old days." no disposal diapers......That makes me glad for a dryer. I don't do children clothes any more but dirty clothes go on and on. Makes you thankful for the small things. I dryed diapers over the floor funnace and in the summer if I got real desprate I could go to the laundry mat. Now that was fun. I could not even drive till Linda was born. And we only had one car, which I got to use one day a week. Truman had a carpool. We did not know any better. Most people did this then. My how things have changed in my lifetime. Hooyray for progress. Some of it is very good. Excuse me, I need to go "hang out laundry" in the dryer.

Monday

Not much happened different today. Lot of red, white and blue. Big Memorial Day buffet. I cooked my own today and it was good. Choir practice, Church service but Dancing With The Stars is over till fall. At least I have plenty of good books to read. I heard a new story from a lady I had never talked to before. Too long to relate. But I have many more I need to hear. Everyone has one.So I walk the halls. Someone told me that I was always seen in the halls. Well!!!They had to be there too to see me. Does not bother me--I just smile and say "Yeah, I am a "Hall Walker" It could be worse--At least I stay out of trouble. Ha Ha

MEMORIAL DAY

I helped put up flags Saturday. I wish I knew how many. It looks beautiful. But it was hot outside and it nearly wiped me out. But I felt good doing it.

HO HUMM

It is hot--I like to stay inside. Just out on the balcony a little. I have the most beautiful flowers this year. Amy and Ivy came yesterday and we had lunch in the Cyber. I gave Ivy pearls Truman and I bought together several years ago. We gave all the grandchildren (girls) pearls for graduation. Hope she does that soon. I think she will in her own way and time.

DUCK CASE CLOSED

Well call me dummy. Those two males were protecting their "sweetie" I saw five ducks have their way with her this morning while the two "defenders" tried to fight them off. I should have known what was at stake. So duck drama was just nature at its best. The last two standing are still protecting her. I think I will stop watching. After all I saw more than I wanted to see. Off to exercise class ans minding my own business.
