SUPER SATERDAY !!!!!

Down came the rain. skies were dark. but inside the sun was shinning so bright.  The rain washed in a lovely Saturday complete with company.  BRODY and his entourage .  This time it was made up of Jan,T., Mom Cary, and Dad David.  We created a stir in the Cyber.  Brody is at home here now and I love it.  His "chair" from home was forgotten so he had to be a big boy and sit in a regular chair.  As with most everything he does, he took it in stride and only got up to get a T. fix and sit in his grand dads lap.  With a grilled cheese sandwich. milk and fruit cup. he laughed the lunch away.  He did not even notice the admiring looks.  Lucky me.

Brody and I have some things in common.  We like to punch the button in the elevator, speak to residents and give them a smile, and also we love the Halls.  He loves to race down the hall of my apartment.  Not usually anybody to watch out for on this hall.  Off he goes with someone in tow.  What energy and excitement from so little.  Way to go.

JUICES ARE FLOWING

I wrote this poem for the December issue.  You understand it is directed to my age.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING

 

Christmas is coming,

With lots to do.

So let's get humming.

With excitement too.

 

Plans to make.

Create a list.

Oh, for goodness sake.

I must try to resist.

 

That's the way it used to be.

Others take over now.

Sit back and drink your tea.

You deserve a BOW!!!

REV. DOT HERE

Once in a while, I feel the urge to share with you some thoughts.  I have read in my Bible for some time now every day.  Oh sometime I miss, but most every day.  I find strength almost every time I read.  I read in I Peter 4:  10 " Each one ,as a good manager of God's different gifts, must use for good of others the special gift he has received from God."  And a little unrelated, 5:7.  "Leave all your worries with him, because he cares for you."   Now, I don't know why I was moved to share this, but use it today if you feel the need.  I did.

LOOK MOM, NO CAVATIES

O. K. you may remember I was off to the dentist last time I wrote.  It went smooth and I was surprised since I had the cap pop out and had to put it back.  Feels good and I think I mentioned there goes Christmas.  Well almost!!  My they know how to charge.  Next time ( hope there is not a next time for this)  maybe I will look for super glue myself.  My regular dentist was out for a few days ( I suspect he was on the slopes somewhere or looking for a new fancy car).  They really know how to charge.  Oh well it is just money, got to spend it someway. 

After appointment we met Sophia and Paul at the Old Capitol Inn since we were close to it.  We sat outside near  the fish pond and watch these huge gold fish.  They were beautiful.  Amy and I remembered when it was the YWCA and young women lived in rooms there and the big swimming pool where I took her for swimming lessons,  Jan and Linda learned to swim there too.  How does it feel to be able to remember old things Amy?  You have such a good memory anyway..

Well I can't get used to the time change.  My old brain wants to wake me at 5:00 a. m. thinking it is 6:00 That is just too early, so I lay awake and try to stay there a while longer.  Hard to do.

WISH ME LUCK

As  I go off to the dentist, I hope you will wish me good luck.  Hope it goes off smooth. I am sure it will. 

Guess what.  Another stroke of luck!!!!!  They switched BIG BANG THEORY to Thursday.  Now It wont be at the same time as DANCING WITH THE STARS.   No I had nothing to do with the decision.  But I like to take credit.

STILL RAINING (a little)

Never thought I would be glad to go to the dentist!! I go tomorrow to fix this cap that popped off.  I go regularly to the dentist but I hate every visit.  This protecting my tooth from pain is wearing me down and I will be glad to have it fixed.  No telling what he will charge--there goes Christmas!!

Busy day will take the mind off at times.  I am looking forward to DANCING WITH THE STARS tonight.  My poem about it made it into the current VILLAGER.  I have given up my space on the staff of the Villager except for contributing poems and essays.  It was getting to be too much to do it all.  I still love to write and they wanted my poems.  They are so light and sometime silly, but people seem to need some of that.
