RANDOM RAMBLINGS

OK, I'm over it. I grew tired of looking at the gray temples and decided to have another go at the coloring of my hair. I'm not greatly pleased at the outcome, but at least I don't have to look at the gray temples anymore.

And besides, the high school girls are meeting for lunch tomorrow (I think we need a "name"; I'm tired of calling us the high school girls) and I surely want to look my best for that!

I love meeting with them; I feel we are getting closer each time we get together. It's really strange because before the 50th reunion I didn't think about them very much. Now I really look forward to each gathering.

Wanda (an appropriate name for Halloween) has agreed to host a Halloween luncheon at her house in Franklin. We can dress in costume if we wish, but I think I'll just go in jeans. Maybe I'll purchase a mask of some kind. It's been years since I've done anything like this; do you suppose it's a sign of senility that we would revert back to childhood games?

Speaking of age, when I took Rufus for his annual checkup, the vet said he could live to be 15 or 20 years of age. At first I didn't think anything of it, but then I begAn to do the math, and it now seems very possible that Rufus could outlive one or both of us. That's a scary thought to the other members of the family!!

Take good care of him, kids, or I will come back to haunt you!!

All right, so I have a few comments. First off, I'm going to stay away from attempting to give you some ideas for naming your group, as that can only lead to my demise. Second, I think you should totally go to the party as Raggedy Ann or Winnie the Pooh, as either would be awesome.

As for the senility comment, I think senility is like insanity - once you're there, you don't question your state of mind, you just are who you are. So, I think you're okay there.

Finally, as for Rufus, my dad was just telling me how much he would love to have a little lap dog, so while I hope you outlive Rufus, you really should consider him as your primary candidate for caretaker.

Speaking of candidates, I want to thank you for staying away from politics, as this blog is a refreshing reprieve from all of that nonsense. Thanks! :)

Please allow me to clarify my comments: I was looking for a chew toy for Horchata and considered a small lap dog. 15 to 20 years from now, if he is still alive, Horchata will be slobbering and not seeking a chew toy, so I don't think that would work out.
