BUSY DAY

Yesterday really was a time of running around all day in between trying to keep the dogs watered and fed and exercised. Today I finally have time to sit down and reflect on the events.

I can’t remember if I mentioned that there is a woman in my Bible study who graduated with me from high school. I tried to talk her into going to our class luncheon with me but she declined. It is interesting getting to know her after all these years (51).

The luncheon was a hoot, as usual. Besides hearing all about our various physical ailments, we talked about face lifts and plastic surgeons. I found out who had and who hadn’t, and Linda and I were astonished to learn about how many had “partaken”. I can truthfully say that although I have thought about having a tuck done here and there, I have never actually done it. I did use a plastic surgeon once to repair a scar that had gotten infected, but alas, that’s all I can boast about.

Betty, who hosted the event, showed us all over her redone house. We all enjoyed looking at it, but we refrained from going swimming in her new pool because amazingly enough, it was too cool. We are having great fall weather here now.

And speaking of weather, I received a call from the realtors at the Cape in Florida and it seems that Ike damaged beyond repair our condos that we love so much. I had rented one for November, but the ocean swell from the hurricane was too much for the sea wall and foundation of the structure, so we either have to cancel or find something else. I’m disappointed, of course, but I am reconciled to whatever we decide.

So after my busy day yesterday, I am now resting up for a big night tomorrow night. Believe it or not, the genius got tickets for an Eagles concert, one of our favorite groups, so we are getting ready to kick up our heels! (Jim IV almost choked on his food last night when he heard we were going; he said, “How did you get tickets? They’re going for a 1000 bucks each!!”) Well, we didn’t pay anywhere near that much and the genius wouldn’t sell ours for twice that amount.

So, I guess we haven’t kicked the bucket yet, although after tomorrow night we might!!
