THE BEAT GOES ON

Am I dating myself when I say that the beat goes on?  Who cares?  It fits.  I do feel better and don't know what caused the little blip in me.  But, that too does not matter.  I so want to go to the Beach with my family.  It has been a tradition for over 30  years when we (Truman and I) started it along with 3 grandchildren and  their parents.  Amy and Ed were newly married.  Bryan was the first baby to go and Whitney and Lindsay were just right for the Beach.  It was for a long weekend which grew quickly to a week.  My it has grown as life and time goes on.  Can't even count them now.  Guess what--this I do know----we all still look forward to the togetherness and pleasure of the sand, sun, good food and visiting that we all make an effort to share.  So here is to you Truman Ellis, for pushing and
 making us all enjoy really what it is all about.  LOVE.

MOMDAY.MONDAY

Dull color of brown.  That is the way I feel.  As the day goes on, I will pick up.  Little set backs in health really throw me for a loop.  I am so hoping for better. I feel better today.  Thanks to Jan and Amy and don't forget  the prompt and kind nurse here.   They are really a help when you need them.  Another reason to love living at SCV.

The lonely duck did not appear this morning.  In fact neither did anyone else.  A "Geese Convention" down south I hear.  O well, hope they enjoy and will come back soon.

GAGGLE OF GEESE

I know I tell about the geese a lot.  I saw the lonely one again.  I guess I will never know it's story-but it comes the same time every morning. I also saw a gaggle of geese grazing on the meadow.  Maybe 12 or more.  They  form a line and move together down toward the Lake.  Interesting how they stay together when feeding on the grass and seeds from weeds.  Our friend on the wall should join them.  I am reading some Amish novels(love them) and they seem to go through a lot.  They also depend on each other for comfort in times of need and joy.  Isn't that a good way to be?  I like to read them because even though they go through a lot, they come out strong and happy.  Their strong faith in God sees them through.

LONELY GOOSE?

I could be wrong, but this one goose keeps swimming alone, while the others are in pairs.  My mind goes to making up a story for this guy (girl)?  It swims up looking up Lake as if searching.  Up swims this pair and floats with it.  Has it lost it's mate? Did Mother Nature count wrong and came our uneven?  Is she on a nest? Who knows?  I would write a happy ending if I could write the story.  Maybe I should write children's stories,  they all have happy endings.

NOT SO NIPPY

Stepped out on the Balcony dressed for nippy and I got that old warm and still feeling.  I knew it could not last, but----so be it.  I had ham and eggs for breakfast!! I had a ham sandwich from the Cyber yesterday for lunch.  It was huge!!!!  I took some ham from it for later.  Later was at breakfast with  easy over eggs,and enough for another sandwich still left.I know I don't load my sandwiches as some love to do,, but this was unreal.  Lucky me. 

We are having a Chico's Summer Fashion Show tomorrow.  With several residents being models.  Should be fun.

NIPPY NIPPY NIPPY

Weather man was right, cool on the Balcony. I was treated to the "wann-Be" sky writer. He or she filled the sky with X"s.  I mean they filled the sky.  Wonder what the message was?  Think about that one. Did not tarry long.  Today is History Club day and Mr. T. is coming to it and have lunch with me.  Am I lucky or what.?  Nice to have a "young" guest.  He really likes the history and I hope the company.

SPEACHLESS

Nothing to say or write about.  So I wont make it up.  Maybe something interesting and good will happen today.  Let us just be still and wait.
