BLUEBERRIES FOR DOT

I had a treat this morning--blueberry pancakes. I haven't had them in a while. I am glad I did because I had good company this norning. Everyone wanted to talk. I ate the last part of breakfast with a delightful lady. I liked her because she is 72 and could not believe I an 85. (my kind of folks} She is helping in the watermellon patch a group of mem have up on the hill in front of SCV. They hope to have a watermellon eating contest and seed sitting contest next month. So far they may have to buy them because they only have one growing. But fun is growing. Virginia has tomatos. She started up the hill with a can of spray to get the bugs off. We have a great security system. A guy saw her coming carring the can and (She gage him some tomatos} She was fun to talk to. I could tell you more but it might bore you. I sat through two tables of people. The next one was all about hearing aids. I did not know that much about them. Now I know too much.

GETTY READY?

I have started packing--well laying out shorts and shirts to pack. Time is getting short. How many years have we been going to Alabama coast? I think it is the 27th year. May be wrong. Correct me if you know. Alot of years anyway. It is something Truman was so proud of. You know the whole object of the trip is (not just fun) but to draw us together as a family. We are so blessed to have a strong family who love each other and enjoy being together. It means so much to me and it did to Head Honcho, That is what I called him. And I am the Old girl. "I plan to bring some old albums of our first trips. Should be fun to see how we have changed and to see the "way we were" Maybe.

REFLECTIONS

I was thinking today back at all the nice and enteresting people I have met here at SCV. I have never lived in a place so friendly. It is also a new experience for me to live in an apartment complex. At first it seemed overwhelming. Now after a year and half it is so much smaller and close that it seems like home. I have been through so many emotions and up and down so many times. I seem to be at a level now that I feel comfortable with the peop;e and place. I am learning more about each person I talk to. You know everyone has a story and most are willing to tell it. I guess I do too except I am a little slow to tell as much as some do. Coffee club is a good place to hear stories too. I really like that 'BUNCH" That is the name I give them. Don't tell them as they do not know I named them. Well I will get on with the day---Maybe have coffee with the BUNCH

MORE DUCK NEWS

I know, I know, I said I was going to stop worring those ducks but they keep living their lives in front of me and I have to look. This morning about 7 A.M. I stepped out on the balcony with my breaksfast tea and who do I see?--Mother Duck! Just sitting and looking out to "sea" I had just put my toast crumbs on the balcony for my birds (I just have to feed something} I grabbed the crumbs and threw them to mama duck. She ignored me and started slowly waddleing toward shrubry under the balcony next to me. Could she have a nest there? Makes sence to me. More later, I hope.

SATURDAY

Jan came to visit. Love it when she comes. She makes me feel good. We had lunch on the Terrace at the Cyber Cafe. We just love it when the weather is perfect and it was Saturday. There is no place like sitting near the water. It was a beautiful day. I ate a turkey burger, All dressed up it is almost like Wendey's I guess it needed frys to be as good. I just can not eat those--I have tried too many times--just runs my sugar up and believe me, they are not worth it, Too many other good things to eat. I have to make the choice. Not bad at all.

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,
