WHY OH WHY????

I had an appointment for 9:30 this morning.   With my Dermatologist . I hurried to be a little early because it looked like rain.  Arrived at 9:15.  He saw me at 10:45.  He was training a new person and I guess he was doing a good job.  O well, everything is O. K. and now I can start the treatment on another part of my face.  He claims I have severe sun damage.  Makes no sense. I have always avoided the sun. except I did not remember being diligent about sun screen.  He really stressed sun screen. 

Now another biggie tomorrow.  My High School Reunion.  O boy, I look so old.  More so every day.  I can see it.  But everyone there is the same age so maybe it wont be too bad.

JUST CHECKING

I checked the daily calendar to see what is up for today:  Exercise of course.  Then I-POD workshop.  My goodness who needs that?  Some of the more savvy residents I guess.  More power to them.  Face book, Twitter. and whatever is beyond me.  Don't need the stress.  I am glad they have not outlawed e-mail, because I get that.  And I do learn something new now and then about how to better use it. 

At coffee I heard something sad--only two of our baby ducks have survived.  Two mothers had nest, one with 13 and the other 6.  The turtles I suppose got all but 3.  After all that devotion, I wonder if mother ducks feel a loss?  I don't know about her, but we are sad.  I just can't write about that.

The Great American hot dog is the featured in the Cyber today.  Do I have one?  Yes but  I will balance it with steamed veggies.

It is almost time for a count down till BEACH WEEK!!I just talked to a friend who spent the long weekend there and she said it was ready for us.  All right Let's do it.

HI HO

HI HO

 

Hi Ho,  Hi Ho, Hi Ho.

 

As off to Wal-Mart I go.

A little stuff, I need to buy.

Oh dear I sigh.

 

For I will look. I will buy.

Bring it home, put it away.

Fall in bed with a sigh,

And look forward to another day.

FULL DAY

It all began when I woke at 6 this morning.  Cyber closed for the holiday so oatmeal for me.  I make it good by cooking it stove top and putting bananas and cinnamon in it.  That was o. k.  exercise class was also good.  I do love that coffee bunch.  You should hear the subjects we discuss and settle.  I had lunch, which was special for Memorial Day, with three others like me.  Come to think about it, they are all are pretty much alike.  The dinning room was full and overflowing.  Some had to wait.  Just like a famous restaurant.  We got in early.  Nap and then a mini concert by the choir (that's me you know)  and then we had a practice.  So it took up most of the afternoon.  We are getting ready for a concert in the early summer I think.  We are learning songs from SOUTH PACIFIC.  What fun songs and some very beautiful ones too.  I am tired and the Cyber is closed today and no dinner in the dining room, so pity me, I will have to fix something for myself.  Just kidding--I am glad I am able.

SUNDAY

Sunday's are still a little hard.  If I did not have Amy, what would I do?  Feel sorry for myself I guess.  At church today we had the service in the court  yard. We had a Dixieland trio who played. Bass, Trumpet and Guitar.  Songs like "I'll Fly Away", "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" and When The Saints Go Marching In".  It was different but I enjoyed it.   Just Amy and me and we had lunch at Bravos and ate outside.  It was lovely.  Tomorrow is Memorial Day.  We will mark it with singing and a special lunch.  Yesterday I helped put up flags all over.  I like to do that.  They will stay up through the 4th of July. 

Hey Beech week is coming.  Get your tan started. 

Mother Teresa said:  "The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
                                                    Do good anyway."

TO EXPLAIN----

The next two blogs were written minutes apart.  I thought the first did not go through, so I did another slightly different one.  Please read them both  Betty Boop
