SATURDAY PANCAKES

We had blueberry pancakes this morning (my sweetie made them) We used blueberries from our own two bushes We had to share them with the birds after all atempts failed to scare them off. O well I guess they thought we put them there for them. We went to yet another Reunion this morning in Carthage. Truman's mother's family/ Her mother was a Grimes. Not as good as the Ellis Reunion but they all have something in common. Guess what? Good foor of course. I ran my blood sugar up but that chocolate pie was delish!!/ Like I used to make. I have got to stop this. When it goes up my Doctor told me to drink lots of water. It works. Of course I have been drinking a lot anyway because of the heat.

Sunday had a very interesting salad lunch. So good. Ruby was added to our list of guest. Tired but it is a good tired. Another full week. I am so lucky !! Lord, give me work to do and the strengh to do it. And as I always say "Thoughts create emotions." Give me good and sweet thoughts.

65th HIGH SCHOOL REUNION

Sorry I have not bloged for a few days. I am still here. Linda is coming Saturday for Father's Day. We will all get together so she can see us and enjoy a visit. My 65th (WOW) Central High School reunion is today. A lunch at Colonial Country Club. I helped pick the food so I will like it. I don't know if I will like seeing us all so old but at least we are still here. The class of 1944 was in the middle of WWII and a bitter sweet time. Many of my classmates went to war. Some did not come back. Such a waste (war).

BYE BYE OLD CHAIR

Happy day, they took it away. A bit of a poem. I did not see it go but when I looked out ---it was gone.!!!!! A nice new one in place. Who gets to sit in it? We will see. I tried it last night. Afraid it does not fit my neck. Truman will try it next. If it does not fit him well we will return it and try again. What troubles we have? Most people would be so lucky!!!

HOW BLUE AM I?

New blue recliner delivered this morning. Can't give the old one away. It almost fell apart. Truman got the goody out of it. I think I like it. Truman gave it to me and took my old one since it was just like his old one. He makes friends with his possessions and clothes and does not want to give them up!!!! We will try it out and maybe it will work. Well off th SILVER SNEAKERS Let us hope he keeps me as an old possession.

P S. If you want the old chair -- it is setting on the street just hoping the garbage man will pick it up. Maybe I can give them a couple of dollars?

SILVER SNEEKERS WHOW!!!!!!!

I will be glad when our regular instructor gets back (vacation for her). The sub is an areobic teacher mostley. She loves the weights too. Mine are only 3 pounds at this point but she did a lot of things with them. I believe she made some up herself. I am a little sore in places. Truman said it was good for me and I would get used to them. He has been useing weights for 20 years. I think he is bragging a little. Oh well I am still all for SILVER SNEAKERS. It keeps me off the streets and out of the Mall. As Martha Stewart says "That"s a good thing".

THIS AND THAT and THE OTHER

Good weekend (according to my standards) Grocery store Friday-nothing special- Saturday I can not even remember. O yes High School Reunion for Truman. They call it the 1920-30-40-50 club. No more who graduated it the 20's still living. Truman was 39 and they were the oldest there. It was nicely done-food and decorations were good. Then that night we went to the Church for a fish fry to benefit the Choir. Went to visit Amy and Ed Sunday and had Sophie to program my new cell phone and Ed and Sophie tried to teach me how to use. I thought I got it but when I got home I tried and tried to use it but need another lesson or two. My how can I be so stupid?

STEP OUT DOT

I had trouble going to sleep. Had to get up and read a little. Silver Sneakers Day. Had a new instructor--boy she loves those weights!!!Mine are only 3 pounds but we gave them a workout!We do a mombo step that I just can not get. Also a step out triangle thing My step out looks like a waltz step. "Stay after class Dot and we will work on it." Sometime I want to give up but there is a 96 year old who is determined to show me up. Can't let that happen. So I will take Tylenol and go again."Sit up straight Dot" O. K. I will try
