Moving up an hour doesn't bother me as much as moving back an hour in the fall. It's now lighter later and great to sit outside longer in the evenings. </p><p>Tuesday was an eye opener on what happens when you have no internet or TV. It's like being back in the 40's. Gals were walking around with nothing to do and no one even the office didn't have phones to call in or out for emergencies. They had to use back up phones for emergencies. I couldn't do my games and look up stuff like I do for questions the gals ask. How did we get along before computers. It was 24 hours before we got it back and it was taken down (hear say) that another phone company cut the lines putting in fiber optic for a new construction site. </p><p>The week went as usual except Wednesday. I had my massage and chiropractor appointment. I changed to another massage therapist that was a lot easier on my body and I love her. I now have a permanent gal to go to and the chiropractor and I figured out another way to keep my hip from slipping out of place for longer. I did realize one day last week whenever I stand I lean on the left hip. That's the bad one, now I try to stand straight and no leaning. I hope that helps.</p><p>Thursday was also different. I went to the crochet group. I left early to go to Sip and Paint at the commons. There weren't many of us but we had a good time trying to paint a picture. I do my own thing, but I'm the one that looks at it. (Click photos to enlarge). This is my picture. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;"> The whole group </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtWZJnX-pxBdGZg9JQFKxGQ9-rNOZn5m9oymOINcDWiJhNUEbPMKft6_r0Ao1smd5zxbaX5BpxJOGAQeMhr2XzoLPSlPn1hwuUFVLKQNOZR_NirA1M_ikSUmb666l1pSqAd-hhh5kRf_rSj2SQ6DkjSujmv8ORbMZ_UZIoWIMR47yEi79mVerrP-uaCPs/s4080/PXL_20240314_193237758.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtWZJnX-pxBdGZg9JQFKxGQ9-rNOZn5m9oymOINcDWiJhNUEbPMKft6_r0Ao1smd5zxbaX5BpxJOGAQeMhr2XzoLPSlPn1hwuUFVLKQNOZR_NirA1M_ikSUmb666l1pSqAd-hhh5kRf_rSj2SQ6DkjSujmv8ORbMZ_UZIoWIMR47yEi79mVerrP-uaCPs/w195-h259/PXL_20240314_193237758.jpg" width="195" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My picture</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijw3Q-_mxbnZKSYWrhmB6WReYyQ8U7LKazxLf5LUMD2iZKPhRTqyAnqdDK9TniiYVxl9j_roydmdWSVyYsJ5S-_ladeycUfIbDfydG0KEXPWXeA1JOe4425eFhZ2W6ErWTDChyphenhyphen1Laq_AeS5Ai0gLN_n8w5FTwn4m3sEsovnuG_mXgzFqemkKs0wDrJ95I/s4080/PXL_20240314_202452828.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijw3Q-_mxbnZKSYWrhmB6WReYyQ8U7LKazxLf5LUMD2iZKPhRTqyAnqdDK9TniiYVxl9j_roydmdWSVyYsJ5S-_ladeycUfIbDfydG0KEXPWXeA1JOe4425eFhZ2W6ErWTDChyphenhyphen1Laq_AeS5Ai0gLN_n8w5FTwn4m3sEsovnuG_mXgzFqemkKs0wDrJ95I/s320/PXL_20240314_202452828.jpg" width="241" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG1n1mZdAkCVLuhw805QdwxMcjViMRGCCaB2_HfyHN-luiKpxSHZGmPlus9Yk3OIOe0YMm8u-eKbhK_xQyf90TkyRIDviHOAxhnT4kQpRqPddA52sZcDC_ALg8atZHnx21OPu00dPSG5R8rCa0HFENhtlGSNf3ZOMmyR-qRIXC9dc4XbX7Cbk50zHlE8U/s4080/PXL_20240314_202440416.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4080" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG1n1mZdAkCVLuhw805QdwxMcjViMRGCCaB2_HfyHN-luiKpxSHZGmPlus9Yk3OIOe0YMm8u-eKbhK_xQyf90TkyRIDviHOAxhnT4kQpRqPddA52sZcDC_ALg8atZHnx21OPu00dPSG5R8rCa0HFENhtlGSNf3ZOMmyR-qRIXC9dc4XbX7Cbk50zHlE8U/s320/PXL_20240314_202440416.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiowaUmfQCvj51qo-cBJQHNsG21v9b7rpQvjRixdhwO0KPuOm4cCAu3ma6w-LblSpcuZJMmleysCuhSalYsaDwv6wBaSaRRQLJOqzid-SC5YJPrdAOruwLSylpQ7ctdaPBNvgrdVXuy1E51-eh7qprkRUXH_JbbC8uTHmOgdoHikcKZsR4mP8qXXQXEGi8/s4080/PXL_20240314_202414422.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiowaUmfQCvj51qo-cBJQHNsG21v9b7rpQvjRixdhwO0KPuOm4cCAu3ma6w-LblSpcuZJMmleysCuhSalYsaDwv6wBaSaRRQLJOqzid-SC5YJPrdAOruwLSylpQ7ctdaPBNvgrdVXuy1E51-eh7qprkRUXH_JbbC8uTHmOgdoHikcKZsR4mP8qXXQXEGi8/s320/PXL_20240314_202414422.jpg" width="241" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"> Working on my picture. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_uzGdsX3jqSmZb3mvc23xtEwmCpo1KB5IIHIzjYsKoneUz_72bhqVU24fhL87GKT-qyjP6W3HHMHzN97n4h8x6lS7QuEBE8E-4pxzSN7wrCh1V29P1fSMKxRH5dY8r2veBfC5yg6nHLmD1eQI4UrNf5UAXkfz15GW16uDqP_ERTVdXE13OuymxYF4gqs/s4080/PXL_20240314_193218327.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_uzGdsX3jqSmZb3mvc23xtEwmCpo1KB5IIHIzjYsKoneUz_72bhqVU24fhL87GKT-qyjP6W3HHMHzN97n4h8x6lS7QuEBE8E-4pxzSN7wrCh1V29P1fSMKxRH5dY8r2veBfC5yg6nHLmD1eQI4UrNf5UAXkfz15GW16uDqP_ERTVdXE13OuymxYF4gqs/w210-h278/PXL_20240314_193218327.jpg" width="210" /></a></div></div>Friday I worked on my puzzle.

Monday was Wii bowling and I made a couple meals from Hello Fresh. I played cards in the evening then had the GBM group zoom and we had four new gals in because their husbands died with GBM (like Jim). So sad they can't get a handle on the cancer.</p><p>Tuesday I had a special visitor. Shelly was our kids babysitter. We've stayed in touch all these years and she came for a visit to see the complex plus checking out the Hawthorn House for her mom. That's another building here when you no longer can take care of yourself. It's not a nursing home, just a retirement place. The wait is a year and she wanted to check it out. She loves where I am and understands why I like it. She left in the evening to get back to Panama City. She's on vacation. </p><p><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi7XOKX1x2_15-NSvC7BTeFgU6av0EO9c1yfe6X4owCugQX4kNfF8QMSsv4pu68a1uir4sb0fWHzUU3SJBf0qVyJdfm61HwxK9X9zjIhhwT1FdVh2zh7zU3cyJRECVnyod4_49aNqOSRcFf2NtgePVg-DgVkK4TL5_RNFPHGEZaATRPoeY9dYZeywVmPwc" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="443" data-original-width="553" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi7XOKX1x2_15-NSvC7BTeFgU6av0EO9c1yfe6X4owCugQX4kNfF8QMSsv4pu68a1uir4sb0fWHzUU3SJBf0qVyJdfm61HwxK9X9zjIhhwT1FdVh2zh7zU3cyJRECVnyod4_49aNqOSRcFf2NtgePVg-DgVkK4TL5_RNFPHGEZaATRPoeY9dYZeywVmPwc" width="300" /></a></p><p>Wednesday is my really busy day. I'm at bowling by 10:00am then 15 minutes to eat lunch and over to Village five to play hand, knee and foot. Actually it's my favorite day. I have 20 minutes to get dinner then to the normal nightly cards game of 31. What fun.</p><p>Thursday I went to the activities meeting to see what's in store for the whole month of March and they had some of April laid out for us. I'm going to have to make decisions on which activity I want to do more. There's several things I want to do on the same day at the same time. I went to crochet group by 1:00 and got some details on what gnomes I should sell in August at the craft fair. I'm excited they're doing one of those. I have fourteen made already and when I'm on zoom at night I crochet. I can usually do two in four hours before bed. One of the gals is making fingerless gloves. I've never seen it done.

What a ride! It's the best decision I could have made and so glad to be at Bob Hope Village. I have no complaints. It's right for me and so glad the kids helped me get here. At times, I feel like I've been here five years, and other times it feels like yesterday. I've learned so much. </p><p>I seldom talk about Sundays, I don't do anything but cards (Hand and Foot) and cards (31) at night. I also do laundry and clean up the place (if needed).</p><p>So we'll start out every week with Monday's activities. First is Wii bowling, which the first game wasn't a bad score 209. It went downhill from there. The next thing was a seminar or meeting, talk whatever you want to call it about what happens when you call 911. It's very interesting. The firetrucks come first normally when it's a fall or something minor. They assess the situation then call ambulance and if further assistance needed the police are called. Very interesting one and half our talk with the emergency supervisor. I had just enough time to get dinner and go play cards, then into the GBM group zoom and on to zoom for normal nightly chat with the same people from 2007. I can't believe there's some people sticking around. If you're free about 8:00pm central time join us on zoom. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://us04web.zoom.us/s/72512080635?pwd=e5pqxaHuqIQxCkHuXHFzyoCkpIBcyg.1%20Meeting%20ID:%20725%201208%200635%20Passcode:%20eD328y#success">https://us04web.zoom.us/s/72512080635?pwd=e5pqxaHuqIQxCkHuXHFzyoCkpIBcyg.1%20Meeting%20ID:%20725%201208%200635%20Passcode:%20eD328y#success</a></p><p class="MsoNormal">Meeting ID: 725 1208 0635 Passcode: eD328y</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p>Tuesday: I went to diamond art and I finally finished the gnome bunnies.

Not as high scores as on Monday. I wish I was more consistent. I had just enough time to grab a sandwich then head to Village 5 for hand, knee and foot. Then dinner and cards. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thursday I got my stove fixed. I made out a work order last night (Wednesday) for my burners on the stove. They haven't worked well since I got here and two of the big burners didn't even heat up water. It was not going to be feasible making meals without a full working stove. The maintenance guy was here by 9:00 and put in four new burners. They work great and I'm so thankful. So far everything that's gone wrong has been fixed same day or next day. I went to the crochet group in Village six. Back to cards after some dinner. Tuesday to Thursday are quick turnaround days. It's great to have something to do and so far it's working for me. I do go to other things and get sidetracked every once in awhile, but I go with the flow.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Friday is a down day and this time I went to Culver's for lunch. I haven't been there since I left Illinois. I always get a tenderloin but the gals said their fish is excellent and they're right. I worked on the puzzle most of the afternoon after making a meal. This weeks meals came in so I sorted them and will make them between now and Tuesday. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Saturday was the monthly meeting for our village. Not a whole lot going on in the village. I had a zoom meeting then made a meal for neighbor and I. Our social hour is at 4:00 to whenever we decide it's enough. It's a time we meet people in our village and we have some new people coming in so that's way to meet and learn who needs help. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One year, wow. It's unbelievable. </div></div>Tumbleweed Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03050387008581998440noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653930525366801694.post-50979508786300710982024-02-23T22:55:00.003-06:002024-03-02T19:39:47.349-06:00Warm Week - Keeping Up - Budding Trees<p> Shalimar, FL (Hi 71 Lo 43)</p><p>This week was pretty normal and only a few changes along the way. </p><p>Sunday I played cards in the afternoon. That's the slowest day and I'm glad to have something going on besides crocheting and watching TV, that's for evenings. What card game, hand and foot. What else? lol </p><p>Monday was President's day but that didn't pertain to anything around here except no mail. I had Wii bowling, then hurry to dementia class. Our leader was sick so they setup the class on line and I looked for Teepa Snow got one we wanted to see and had an hour and half learning from her. If you want to know anything about Dementia that's the person to learn from, she's on<a href="http://youtube.com" target="_blank"> youtube.com</a>. I had time to get some dinner then the nightly 31 card game. I learn what's going on around the campus from the other gals that play. </p><p>Tuesday was crafts, which I'm still working on the diamond art bunnies. I almost have that done. I decided to setup the table and ordered a backlight for diamond art. It sure makes a difference, but no way to plug it in without the PC, so ordered a charger. There's always something to get, guess it's a new thing, don't put everything you need in whatever you buy. I'll continue working on the picture. I have something to do on the table when this picture is done. Stay tuned to more on projects. After diamond art was over, I stayed for meditation. I always enjoy that time.</p><p>Wednesday was different. It's the third week from my last massage so after Wii bowling I went to my massage/chiropractor. The person I've been seeing for almost a year has changed to doing rehab only, so I was placed with someone else. It wasn't a good massage so I asked to be with someone else next month. They have three gals that I can pick from so there's hope one of them will be as good as the one I had. </p><p>Thursday was crochet group time. I helped a gal with a pattern and stayed a couple hours working on my gnomes. I also got my hair cut. It wasn't really long, but I hate it when it gets long around my ears. I'm hoping to get a two week plan going so it's the same length all the time. </p><p>Friday I didn't have anything to do. I thought I'd just stay in jammies, but that didn't happen. The gal I met at the craft fair come here to give me her thread that if you brush it it looks like fur. I'm going to make a few dogs for the craft fair that's in August. I'm really excited. While I'm on that subject, if anyone that's been following me with my crochet items, what is your favorite item that you'd buy. My list is holiday gnomes, like the beer head gnome for St Pat's day, see picture in yesterday's blog. Next is a bunny gnome with ears for Easter. etc. Cardinals, turtles, butterflies and lady bugs on tiny clothespins with magnets for the refrigerator. If you think of something else that would sell, let me know. The day ended up cleaning up the apartment and laundry. I also got my Hello fresh meals so sorted them out and getting ready to make them up tomorrow and Monday. </p><p>Saturday I took pictures of the tree beside me with the buds. I think it's a Magnolia.

First on the list is helping a neighbor with his computer. Then I'm meeting another neighbor to setup meals to order for next week. I'll work on the diamond art and see what else comes up during the day. I'm having trouble keeping up with the days. I'm either behind a day or ahead. I'm glad my phone tells me what day it is along with the time. </div></div>Tumbleweed Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03050387008581998440noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653930525366801694.post-28227702857429983522024-02-17T22:55:00.000-06:002024-02-17T22:55:48.143-06:00New Phone - Super Bowl - Meals - Craft Show<p> Shalimar, FL (Hi 55 Lo 39)</p><p>I got my new phone Pixel 7 on Monday. I hate changing phones but this one was so easy, just plug the cord to both the new and old one and it took off with copying files and everything was in new phone in minutes. I had to setup a few apps, but I already knew how to do that. I was very proud that I did it all by myself without asking the kids, or anyone here. whew, that was easy. </p><p>Super bowl was Sunday and we had several gals bring food and we went to the lounge to watch the game. I got too bored after the halftime show so went back home. I kept up with the score only because our older son was rooting for the 49ers and I knew he would be upset if they lost. I still haven't heard from him. lol </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjOhCYq6VwE5rrqIWGmR-KM7kdliu-i-q88lmFBHiYM9iC5rBgYxluIyItEAVW1En8WgZiwv_K2KdnaTVxGjLtuvaOupo9qxWO0wKFTHIeJNd96Y-cgt1YKGwWiLa8HHJTOTxh61DNWekc0SXlTfKDw_j3kz-lKyNa7dY9Bgbjtbowa7KdfepNiNGEZE/s4080/PXL_20240211_234723007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4080" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjOhCYq6VwE5rrqIWGmR-KM7kdliu-i-q88lmFBHiYM9iC5rBgYxluIyItEAVW1En8WgZiwv_K2KdnaTVxGjLtuvaOupo9qxWO0wKFTHIeJNd96Y-cgt1YKGwWiLa8HHJTOTxh61DNWekc0SXlTfKDw_j3kz-lKyNa7dY9Bgbjtbowa7KdfepNiNGEZE/s320/PXL_20240211_234723007.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>I get HelloFresh meals every other week and another gal started getting them. She can't stand to make them for very long so I started making them for her. That's two gals I'm making meals. They don't take long, and it's worth a few extra minutes to help them out. That way I can sample what they buy to see if I want to get them. I did all the meals on Monday which I will probably do every week. </p><p>Tuesday I worked on the diamond art almost all day with only a couple hours out for meditation. I also worked on it Friday afternoon. It's slow going, placing each bead in a little square takes time. </p><p>Monday and Wednesday was Wii bowling which I had pretty good scores. I can only get better, hopefully. On Wednesday I went to the other village for hand and foot card game. That's so much fun. I didn't go to the Valentine's dance at the commons. I'd much rather play cards. </p><p>Thursday I went to crochet in building six. I made Ivy and pearl plant for the gal that wanted it for sorority. She was very pleased with it.

It rained all day long. I got home about 1:30 and went to play hand and foot in Village 2 for the rest of the afternoon. I then went to social hour at 4:00. It was a full day of fun. I did all the other things I do daily just didn't post it, zooms and cards every night.

It's getting great reviews and the show is on TV, but season four was started at the theater. It was full price which took us by surprise. It was good and the actors were excellent.

We had a good time and I have out of the ordinary order for crochet project. Stay tuned, I'll have it on the next blog, hopefully. </div><div><br /></div><div>Friday I was reminded by someone on our nightly chat about oil change in the car. I thought about it beginning of January, but forgot when I should get one and since I seldom drive it, I figured I had time. I was told that when a car sits long periods of time like mine I should change oil every six months or 3,000 miles whichever comes first. I got it done today so that's over for while. My Hellofresh meals came in, so got that sorted and ready to make. I'm also making meals for another gal here. This should be fun. </div><div><br /></div><div>Saturday, A totally me day. I wanted to work on diamond art, and a few computer projects plus sorting out safety eyes for my critters, crochet and play guitar. </div><div><br /></div><div>I did watch storm chasers in the mountains helping people out of snow drifts and bad road conditions, then to Illinois and Wisconsin with tornadoes. It's going to be active this weekend, so I'll be watching closely with all the severe storms that may be brewing. That's what happens with El Nino. The rains in California will help with the drought, but sure is havoc in the meantime. I have my tickets for the June NASCAR race in Madison, IL. I'll be with older and younger son all in one trip. See ya next week. </div>Tumbleweed Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03050387008581998440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653930525366801694.post-89385122195064622462024-02-02T23:22:00.003-06:002024-02-02T23:22:47.868-06:00Settling in - Great News<p> Shalimar, FL (Hi 65 Lo 52)</p><p>Ever wonder what happened to people you've met in your life? I had a day that's all I thought about. I was reading a blog where one of the fulltime rv'ers went off the road and bought a place. I often wonder where some of those folks are located which led me down the rabbit hole on thinking of so many people I've met and how they're doing. </p><p>This week I felt more settled in then the past couple months. It's almost one year that I've arrived here and it was a great decision. I'm busy, taken care of and have people to talk to. </p><p>I have a partial routine now with Wii bowling on Monday and Wednesday. Wednesday is hand, knee and foot for three hours in the afternoon. Tuesday is Diamond Art, then meditation. Thursday is crochet group and shuffleboard . Friday is catch up day from what I don't do during the week and I've added one hour in the gym. Saturday is find something to do or crocheting and guitar. Sunday is hand and foot the easy way and teaching people the game. Every night is chats and zooms with different groups and people.</p><p>Then there is the odd stuff that pops up and the planned things can be cancelled. Wednesday I had my massage and chiropractor appointment. My hip has been hurting but between the two it's now back in place and I'm not in pain. I can't live without either of them, keeping neck and hip from hurting is a big deal. </p><p>Thursday is the great news. My six month doctor appointment and this is the second time I've met with the doctor. I'm quite impressed with him. He's very knowledgeable and won't hold anything back, either bad or good. My blood work is excellent and I'm more in the younger age bracket than my real age. His words "I'm great for my age and a lot more energetic". Good to know. I do have an ear infection starting, so meds for that for five days.</p><p>Today (Saturday) is our village meeting for discussing upcoming events or complaints.

It's a continuation from the chat group of RV'ers in 2008. There's still a few of us that get together. I hope you join us any evening about 7:30 pm Central.</p><p>I'm back to being busy and there were a couple days I had to choose between which event to do since they were at the same time. I'm loving all the choices I have with something to do. </p><p>Monday: United Way comes in almost monthly for projects for us. This time it was putting stickers on Veggie Straw bags. They tell who sponsors the bag. There were 700 of them and with just a few of us it took 20 minutes. Gives us gals something to do and helps with our "volunteer time", that goes on record for the end of the year recognition. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTMgydMhyuhlh4ApGQ3m43TjuBqAftwJhrGgbP9N99MIZS7HrI1AVEqxnEBEdUN04wWFXlkIW_EUSig0VHajQRXXJPxA8Nnvp6bj_WJXq9Njm5LXv5BUOwC6tiCSlS6Bp6s48jr8sryC4jmKG0neMLJbJOZ33cV3g0jJmynqB0rASOaxI5GTd2yRbrBVk/s4032/PXL_20240122_161036416.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTMgydMhyuhlh4ApGQ3m43TjuBqAftwJhrGgbP9N99MIZS7HrI1AVEqxnEBEdUN04wWFXlkIW_EUSig0VHajQRXXJPxA8Nnvp6bj_WJXq9Njm5LXv5BUOwC6tiCSlS6Bp6s48jr8sryC4jmKG0neMLJbJOZ33cV3g0jJmynqB0rASOaxI5GTd2yRbrBVk/s320/PXL_20240122_161036416.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwX1e17idEqaj_CgSPwkf9hL6Algx9jS_fRpmnc8rhYF7m1gLxeF1AssZ5gs4M0c_v0Ps2msEpKFE0W2W1EPRUO9kolInz92rh9odR74908Xmsa14DLxAtvZdSOiXknxxrVC27TtlOIglzuRyeLo4FJe0eEBtMz3Zs9fR4q9Sk90bHNQlFUYR9E-C5QdM/s4032/PXL_20240122_161040146.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwX1e17idEqaj_CgSPwkf9hL6Algx9jS_fRpmnc8rhYF7m1gLxeF1AssZ5gs4M0c_v0Ps2msEpKFE0W2W1EPRUO9kolInz92rh9odR74908Xmsa14DLxAtvZdSOiXknxxrVC27TtlOIglzuRyeLo4FJe0eEBtMz3Zs9fR4q9Sk90bHNQlFUYR9E-C5QdM/s320/PXL_20240122_161040146.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_K7AQwom0u9LErtx9NdJBrIHBmVIGsrMYWKMUyHlIHsAtZZx1m485wdLI1cVDPzngv64Csxwvf2JY9XCk8qllH2XyvoBuxzvs5V6O6mmMNRoHb6svLc1PXHwdRsaps3aBuFcspKZp40OWn05AQv9Z8QzkQBgzyMrCzHWI30Wc31lCsgw8LZOkuYmuYHQ/s4032/PXL_20240122_161841637.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_K7AQwom0u9LErtx9NdJBrIHBmVIGsrMYWKMUyHlIHsAtZZx1m485wdLI1cVDPzngv64Csxwvf2JY9XCk8qllH2XyvoBuxzvs5V6O6mmMNRoHb6svLc1PXHwdRsaps3aBuFcspKZp40OWn05AQv9Z8QzkQBgzyMrCzHWI30Wc31lCsgw8LZOkuYmuYHQ/s320/PXL_20240122_161841637.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p>One half hour later, I had WII bowling. It's the first game of a new season which lasts till April. I'm also on the league on Wednesdays. I'm hoping to be in the high 200's this time around, but at least I'm over 150 per game, so far. </p><p>I had just enough time to get a bite to eat then go to a class for arthritis. It was informative telling how to keep from pain with different movements. It was well worth going, I got some new ideas without taking pills.</p><p>I took a couple hours back home before going to cards which is nightly. Monday is the zoom get together with gals that had husbands die from GBM. We've all been on for at least a year so we've become close. It's good to have a couple hours and catch up.</p><p>Tuesday: I went to crafts to work on the diamond art. I was close to finishing it but actually did that on Friday afternoon in the lounge. While I was finishing it, a resident came in and wanted to buy it. No problem. I put it in a frame and she now has the gnomes. I still have four more to make so no problem. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXw4Q3IqUv543_MQ-sRRBCTzjo_ozgd_Yi5gCKGSyFZF_RtY906vxgQ26v7cCOqk_CXWissintcCIdmG7zp5fW0IOOBhp_FyiSfewVVq8PQ_8k-Wxg2LKdmNMuE45wJOe5PZLnBZg9P1W82yrL9E02gjTJCxIgiO_WGMUlznEa2dAIAejMlXy14C9_Ekg/s4032/PXL_20240126_205242204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXw4Q3IqUv543_MQ-sRRBCTzjo_ozgd_Yi5gCKGSyFZF_RtY906vxgQ26v7cCOqk_CXWissintcCIdmG7zp5fW0IOOBhp_FyiSfewVVq8PQ_8k-Wxg2LKdmNMuE45wJOe5PZLnBZg9P1W82yrL9E02gjTJCxIgiO_WGMUlznEa2dAIAejMlXy14C9_Ekg/s320/PXL_20240126_205242204.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Wednesday: Wii bowling was at 10:00 and it went very well. I had just enough time to get to Village 5 for hand, knee and foot. That takes a couple hours, but have time to get dinner and go to the card game in our village called 31. I always have chat every evening which is now on zoom. The link is at the top.<div><br /></div><div>Thursday: A class on how to boost your immune system was given and only two of us showed up. It was about how over the years our foods have changed so much and our systems are learning to cope with the toxics. I learned a lot, still not sure how to change it but to get apiece of land and grow my own food and water will be a problem unless you have an osmoses water system.</div><div><br /></div><div>I went from the class to sip and paint. This one was a bit different from the rest of the painting classes we've had in the past. It was acrylic paint thinned down, pour in a bottle, swirl around and empty we had several colors to choose from and the bottles turned out really pretty.

I waited on my HelloFresh meals to arrive which is usually around 11:00, but it didn't arrive. The monthly happy hour at the commons was at 3:00 but I didn't want to go and miss the delivery. I'm very glad I didn't. I saw the delivery guy next door and asked if he had the HelloFresh. He said he didn't, but came back five minutes later and he had the box. I was so thankful to catch him or he would have had to come back, OR the box wouldn't have made it and I'd have to wait. The box has ice packs, but it was loaded on the truck at 7:30, that's a long day for meat to be in a truck.

I tried, that's all that matters. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Friday I had my sixth month blood work and I asked to be sure the A1C (diabetes) was included it wasn't. That's the reason I have it done, so tried to call the office and they're closed on Friday's. I'm going in Monday early get the paperwork and go to lab as a walk in to get it taken. I should have told the doctor to add it, but I thought it was normal, since all my paperwork says to watch the blood counts. Just another sign to be sure you ask for what you need, it's not always a given they do it right. </div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Tumbleweed Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03050387008581998440noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653930525366801694.post-57382672799319760142024-01-13T19:21:00.005-06:002024-01-13T19:21:59.661-06:00Storms - Great Concert <p> Shalimar, FL (Hi 54 Lo 37)</p><p>Sunday: I went with a couple gals to VFW for breakfast. They do a great job and it's always good. I didn't eat again till evening. I get up every once in awhile it time to go with them. Thank you girls!</p><p>It's been fairly quiet this week. I got little things done in the apartment and crocheted most of the down time. I have 4 more orders now and will work on the craft fair in August when I don't have anything else to do. </p><p>Monday: Storms have been the big news in our area. There were several tornado touchdowns very close to me and of course I had the storm chasers on and watching the weather closely. We had lots of wind that blew over plants and a few branches down, but nothing major in the complex. </p><p>Tuesday: I went to diamond art, there were a couple gals I sat with and then stayed for meditation. They're taking out carpet and putting in vinyl flooring so it's all messed up in the commons area. We're not in the same room as we normally are for meditation. It's hard to get to the activities for darts and shuffleboard for the next couple weeks. Less people roaming around too. </p><p>Wednesday: I had my monthly massage and chiropractor appointment. I wasn't in as much pain as I been, so it was a quick appointment. When I got back I went to a concert by the Emerald Coast Music Alliance. They go to different states and perform for free. They've been to BHV for several years. They had a piano duo, drums, piano and bass, another was trumpet, French horn and Trumpet. They were very good and I'm glad I went (click on the photos to enlarge). These three did bop music.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjXkpleo8DvyxNCbKyBwpztaWqqhmho5plcsTqVcq6QNQofYpn6c_AwfB-6ihyyn4-I-g7uO38O9VC5GyvOxlFx6JIu5lm4RX9T-2Tz_O26GuA4b6m6pV8fZElE4eJfayyEHmwZBwP_8Qd6gPLZE_dOCMsx_0nbZ6sL6p2DF-wLybaCd1e4DawIUBnnTzA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: right;"><img alt="" data-original-height="474" data-original-width="632" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjXkpleo8DvyxNCbKyBwpztaWqqhmho5plcsTqVcq6QNQofYpn6c_AwfB-6ihyyn4-I-g7uO38O9VC5GyvOxlFx6JIu5lm4RX9T-2Tz_O26GuA4b6m6pV8fZElE4eJfayyEHmwZBwP_8Qd6gPLZE_dOCMsx_0nbZ6sL6p2DF-wLybaCd1e4DawIUBnnTzA" width="320" /></a></p><p>Trumpet player was outstanding. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhLtG5B1f4JFjnOcSGs75_0ob3VCxcb_bdHKEcbTvQQSXqEAOpFR06aUwj_BMpI7Fl_o1-zTgP1I7mSB1Z9C2mojtRDKScSie4ljTlxe3u_yB_-yz1UuKiZufOPjB0b8NrxqQ4P-uI6WotQjwgi2BQaXkWdGW7Lz6kmt8HwkI_6xvHhXE9hFQ3FAul8oQE" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="429" data-original-width="632" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhLtG5B1f4JFjnOcSGs75_0ob3VCxcb_bdHKEcbTvQQSXqEAOpFR06aUwj_BMpI7Fl_o1-zTgP1I7mSB1Z9C2mojtRDKScSie4ljTlxe3u_yB_-yz1UuKiZufOPjB0b8NrxqQ4P-uI6WotQjwgi2BQaXkWdGW7Lz6kmt8HwkI_6xvHhXE9hFQ3FAul8oQE" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> These two did orchestra type music on the piano. </span><br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEimCyhJKym9FOg53pky3N9w1on_ZIQIiFDM700ZVthY0oFHL0RaECtI9iEYEnYpSsV8V3V3HnevsCVzV9rjuFEdEPvEUQpZQbVDENPS31ZbBJm757VO78K-zZ9FX7D_iqL-0p2_BNey-CkmmcU2MPD2RyKGlfS6RLVQ_DHHY4NkDCXh2Hmi3FSTYPhC51A" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="413" data-original-width="632" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEimCyhJKym9FOg53pky3N9w1on_ZIQIiFDM700ZVthY0oFHL0RaECtI9iEYEnYpSsV8V3V3HnevsCVzV9rjuFEdEPvEUQpZQbVDENPS31ZbBJm757VO78K-zZ9FX7D_iqL-0p2_BNey-CkmmcU2MPD2RyKGlfS6RLVQ_DHHY4NkDCXh2Hmi3FSTYPhC51A" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These three did jazz</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEguwgcjcIHj1JFbclFEAjKxctzW6JcYB6ga8uSRIUUIwUfiw7ODC4zkR2WmHL2qZoAie8vQSfcGHpwPsWMP2C3wtb2gFBsNScwKHRTM1F8pHqBU1rhtfA4aNV6sYSmDn0ivLB6m5P5zc2Ks9iSdEADaDkav9BCs61yOqm54jynSVDlNTgrPU0DgO5nXnbU" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="474" data-original-width="632" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEguwgcjcIHj1JFbclFEAjKxctzW6JcYB6ga8uSRIUUIwUfiw7ODC4zkR2WmHL2qZoAie8vQSfcGHpwPsWMP2C3wtb2gFBsNScwKHRTM1F8pHqBU1rhtfA4aNV6sYSmDn0ivLB6m5P5zc2Ks9iSdEADaDkav9BCs61yOqm54jynSVDlNTgrPU0DgO5nXnbU" width="320" /></a></div>At the end they all played and we joined in with clapping.

We have a good time and most of the gals are making afghans, but a couple made neck warmers. I did learn how to connect two colors a different way, that will be handy for a lot of the critters I make. From there I went to shuffleboard with Shelba and Connie. It's a fun time for us and gets them out of the apartment with something to do. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Friday: We had a storm go thru with high winds and rain, but it didn't last long. I watched storm chasers all day Some are in the snow pulling people out and a few in the south chasing tornado potential. I stayed with the ones in the south. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Saturday: I watched the snow and the storm chasers most of the afternoon. It felt good to not get up till 10:00 this morning. I don't do that everyday because I usually have a deadline to be somewhere by 10. I practiced WII bowling with one of the gals that just started on one of my teams. She's very good and I also needed the practice. When that was over I went over to social hour that's every Saturday night. We had 12 people tonight, even if it was a lot colder than normal. That brings me to another week. Next week is a bit busier. See you then. </div><p></p><p></p>Tumbleweed Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03050387008581998440noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653930525366801694.post-33031227205519240102024-01-05T22:28:00.005-06:002024-01-07T08:13:23.418-06:00Happy New Year, 2024 - Back to Normal<p> Shalimar, Fl (Hi 65 Lo 43) </p><p>I usually do a recap of the previous year, but I'm too lazy to look everything up and it's all on the blog. I didn't want to bore anyone with the past, let's see what the future holds. Maybe that's why I've always hated history, it's over let's move forward. </p><p>Sunday, New Year's Eve I made deviled eggs for the get together. We discussed when to start the party and for those still awake at 8pm we made that the start time. We had 15 attend. We had plenty of food and we had a great time.

Diamond art was first, but only a couple people there. I stayed about an hour and was asked to play hand and foot. Since the meditation group wasn't meeting I pounced on that idea. I got some lunch and went to the other village to play a couple hours. I was glad to get the chance. I came home ate some dinner and to our normal evening of the card game 31. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Wednesday: It was rainy and cold and I had a huge problem with dental insurance. It's a very long story but after four hours plus, I finally have my insurance that was supposed have been done a year ago when I knew I was moving. I have no idea how the bills are being paid since it was cancelled. I'm not complaining, but it's all in full force now, hopefully. I didn't play cards, just no time. I also had to get hold of Amazon about an order THEY cancelled because of damage but I didn't get credit, so I got hold of a real agent and finally got a replacement. whew, that's done too. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thursday: It ended up getting up to 66 degrees. I went to the activities meeting for the monthly plans of what we're doing in January. There's some new things coming up and I signed up for a bunch of things. I'll be busy all thru January except Fridays and weekends, but I'll work on the guitar, puzzles and crocheting. Oh ya, the best news, On August 17, we're having a craft sale for the community. That means I can make a bunch of stuff and sell it. I already have over 100 in mind to do. I think I'll be ok thru the winter and summer months with things to make. I'm a happy camper. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Friday: I didn't want to sit in the apartment so went to the commons area and sat at the big table with good lightening to work on the diamond art. That's so neat to do. I'm alone, but yet anyone that walks past the door can come in and chat. Most just walk by the door, but some come in. It's fun. I had NC zoom in the evening. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here's the order I did this week. Now working on the mama cat to watch over the young'uns. I should have it done this weekend. </div></div></div></div></div><p></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiBbzXycQcXENIjKXZrlQmHx82KvG6pv4LjO7LWVs7aPDu12rJlbNVFi6heqxgV8oZrHqyScdMa2ZE5ftj3TLGRnNqu592b_A7jXy8E-SBwsfpy6jSEHbjoP2hEKTxyZwwcOLGZl1UBVsHqOX2GhUUs3vwGD2GRwhalM_u99Ij4tqvjcA65GDtsuDLwQ8I" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="611" data-original-width="814" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiBbzXycQcXENIjKXZrlQmHx82KvG6pv4LjO7LWVs7aPDu12rJlbNVFi6heqxgV8oZrHqyScdMa2ZE5ftj3TLGRnNqu592b_A7jXy8E-SBwsfpy6jSEHbjoP2hEKTxyZwwcOLGZl1UBVsHqOX2GhUUs3vwGD2GRwhalM_u99Ij4tqvjcA65GDtsuDLwQ8I" width="320" /></a> </div></div></div></blockquote><p><br /></p><p></p>Tumbleweed Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03050387008581998440noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653930525366801694.post-84736031695582276412023-12-29T21:05:00.001-06:002023-12-29T21:05:30.961-06:002023 Christmas - HAPPY NEW YEAR!<p> Shalimar, FL (Hi 56 Lo 37) It's winter</p><p>Christmas Day was in our village lounge.

I also made a to do list and that includes reading more this coming year. I have 125 items I want to make in crocheting and I'm not waiting till the last minute to get ready for the craft fair hopefully in September or October.

I can't believe I even had three days of nothing to do, well almost. </p><p>Sunday I had a surprise visit. RV'ing friends contacted me to see if I was here and stopped by for a visit. Carol and Jeff have met up a few times and we stay in contact. They're traveling around Florida then back to Texas. I was happy to show them the village and then went to the Mexican restaurant "Pedro" for dinner. Thank you so much for visiting. We'll catch up again in the future. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhXgRQHR1yiRTaPNe9LWIrCTWXZTb4iBWAbwkFnKYTREWBfHOJWcdCk6U_dUglKEKP3iDSZUX1_JJzjLEBsdw-w3giENJZiPe_0gVNLc-XJZSL_ZQGEeG0k79IKxAoW4WQNMmbbevg7moluuRe81oRPU5-Xc4-xHmkm-WVZPCnwO-H15HrA09pT2H-w4yQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="555" data-original-width="626" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhXgRQHR1yiRTaPNe9LWIrCTWXZTb4iBWAbwkFnKYTREWBfHOJWcdCk6U_dUglKEKP3iDSZUX1_JJzjLEBsdw-w3giENJZiPe_0gVNLc-XJZSL_ZQGEeG0k79IKxAoW4WQNMmbbevg7moluuRe81oRPU5-Xc4-xHmkm-WVZPCnwO-H15HrA09pT2H-w4yQ" width="271" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">An hour before Carol and Jeff got here I went to a Christmas concert.

In the summer that's fine. But these cold temperatures lately it's not good. I got hold of Maintenance on Friday (by text) and they were here at 8:30 on Monday morning. I knew how to fix the shower from Youtube but I didn't have the right Allen wrench. I can't believe I he got it fixed in 15 minutes and now I'm taking really hot showers. Later in the afternoon I went to the dementia class. I'm learning so much on how to deal with others and what I can see for what may happen with myself. We have the classes once a month. To finish out the day was cards and zoom with the GBM gals. </span></div></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tuesday: I went to diamond art but there wasn't but two there and they didn't stay long. I worked on my picture for a couple hours then went home. The meditation classes are over till the first of the year. </p><p>Wednesday: My massage and chiropractor was today. I've been having a lot of problems with my left hand. I have a pinched nerve from crocheting without much of a break, so now that I have the crochet orders done for Christmas I'll take a couple breaks and give my hands a break. At least the massage helped a lot. I played cards in the evening. </p><p>Now this is where things changed. I had NOTHING planned for the rest of the week. I planned only on making apple crisp and no bake cookies for Monday's potluck and that's it. I thought Friday would be a good day to just stay in PJ's. I had the apples frozen and got them out last night. They were all brown and soft so I got dressed and went to the commissary to get butter and apples. It was packed but I found a quick lane and was out and back home in half hour. I got my apple crisp made and I'll do the cookies tomorro. </p><p>I started the mornings this week with comedians on youtube. That sets the days off on a high note, if not comedians, I watch kitty videos and get a few laughs. It's helped a lot setting up each day with a laugh. </p><p>I tried to open a bottle of wine and the bottle opener screw part broke. Kathy actually got it out so I was able to use the wine, which was from Pennsylvania. I got it while in the RV in that part of the country. I'm trying to use all the wine up from travels. Only a few have gone bad. The screw is inside the plastic type cork. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="659" data-original-width="494" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjcj82Te9ANr5jtc1H6kCAYK0hWxzu3uatRAGHKHQKPltG3R_r3dYH-K8VVjUBrrccrxQHS42UeJnd9rccjK39UZdX7kpAe6gYTDnXVOJ0agI4By2U46NhO1r6YmSThzlWiE5CyKtohSqsjcrwv-QATqUfnWghp_d91Y82cSDAKOyk5y0-6kxLQ13JFJu8" width="180" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgDLAShrHQ74s6qLLmUzhpIMyEGEFX4QEFHby6v6baq4__nSdr_iLHf23XQDooXmTRSk9g7E3ADP8hNzBiJaiSYMAs5bmJqWRlPXmpwQJmKOf9qFdxYzmp83afts4yIiZJgws_zI1Qy9yet009yykwMCVf0dFvdHEED8qhgzLrznM7fGsGdg5e5ZxSmG0g" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="659" data-original-width="494" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgDLAShrHQ74s6qLLmUzhpIMyEGEFX4QEFHby6v6baq4__nSdr_iLHf23XQDooXmTRSk9g7E3ADP8hNzBiJaiSYMAs5bmJqWRlPXmpwQJmKOf9qFdxYzmp83afts4yIiZJgws_zI1Qy9yet009yykwMCVf0dFvdHEED8qhgzLrznM7fGsGdg5e5ZxSmG0g" width="180" /></a></div></div>This Saturday night social.

I had to make decisions but took the one I wanted to do most. That doesn't happen every week, but very close time schedules at times. </p><p>Monday and Wednesday were the last days of WII bowling for this season. It will start back up in middle of January. I'll go down once in awhile and still play either alone or with someone. There's a couple people that want to be on the teams, but there's a waiting list. I'll grab them and see if they'll play. The village Christmas party was Monday evening with the DJ, Bobby D. He's really good and gets everyone dancing. We had a meal and before the whole thing started we did trivia.

Mary is one of the village residents and she was in the chorus. They did a short performance before the symphony. Mary is in the middle. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEicgp1HV1T8A1d0sP61Ee8wZTizGDtHK1rvxhtG1UHNp2feIu448V-H-PWTdbWGA7wz79Qeo8TJZVB-UGPAzhcXf22LIfk7kDxfzUw0uZD9EDwikbu2UhMyr3i-fD7jppIqtGqOy4_o4Zjts4L8-fF-jiKZRuPGdFORhPUHe1ANefr-XCO-heg5QPFMy3E" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="569" data-original-width="758" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEicgp1HV1T8A1d0sP61Ee8wZTizGDtHK1rvxhtG1UHNp2feIu448V-H-PWTdbWGA7wz79Qeo8TJZVB-UGPAzhcXf22LIfk7kDxfzUw0uZD9EDwikbu2UhMyr3i-fD7jppIqtGqOy4_o4Zjts4L8-fF-jiKZRuPGdFORhPUHe1ANefr-XCO-heg5QPFMy3E" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They were lined up on the stairs in the concert hall. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgQdm2XeKOapKouPMi1a6s9YM-xFI7j3Y5FYpYIR5ikO2it2iah62ZAzfYttD3HQHxonlJopB-sXQjMq7HtDW5ZSvPSlsowrLtQqmJYwJAn2cWQg9AF8Nu2s9rSysCJP57BKTvNlv8h2X3W0yAXPyDjp5hHpzwC96hcCmsaAeJFNCANyZczizOmBl_0dD8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="569" data-original-width="758" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgQdm2XeKOapKouPMi1a6s9YM-xFI7j3Y5FYpYIR5ikO2it2iah62ZAzfYttD3HQHxonlJopB-sXQjMq7HtDW5ZSvPSlsowrLtQqmJYwJAn2cWQg9AF8Nu2s9rSysCJP57BKTvNlv8h2X3W0yAXPyDjp5hHpzwC96hcCmsaAeJFNCANyZczizOmBl_0dD8" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><img alt="" data-original-height="569" data-original-width="758" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3LG_dC2DRxl_4fcXwShiX4XG0b6zqGnHkHN9ORhgKLx6CZcgaidt1SPc8_v4wD9-Yv9adYnwiRSa3gxEYP0YyxoTONCupLbnP44rGUEGGje15Rxcb3t_z6He3dtjGrv4Ej2Cc2OfCNk8v5uPyqNp0g0MuNdJKqDXfiyLMSTOCISTnqdYiHMtms9Oqwc8=w259-h195" width="259" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjotKJYyaFpSBZRcJT7Hs3j1qH2Ju2cw3S3JELyVQs_SZU4E57rEShMD61JJw9mpjJwzg_Hj-b-DDDaZZ-eec9VXY2PZyTo3DgONZi89S_zJBZZJhSJu7Rx_UgVmyzknQO6zz25CthE_Pd_hWipGBrjn86Bf5x4xlaVYzhvK95Ae-gMC_gDnfgZHkFD1pA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="569" data-original-width="758" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjotKJYyaFpSBZRcJT7Hs3j1qH2Ju2cw3S3JELyVQs_SZU4E57rEShMD61JJw9mpjJwzg_Hj-b-DDDaZZ-eec9VXY2PZyTo3DgONZi89S_zJBZZJhSJu7Rx_UgVmyzknQO6zz25CthE_Pd_hWipGBrjn86Bf5x4xlaVYzhvK95Ae-gMC_gDnfgZHkFD1pA=w263-h198" width="263" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">There were six of us from the village.

It's hard to know how to dress for the day. Rule: dress in layers. The week ended in rain and fog. We need the rain badly, so that's ok </p><p>This week was routine. It won't be long I'll change it up, I don't like doing the same thing each week. I need to get thru December and get the new year started. I have some ideas in mind. </p><p>Monday was WII bowling, nope didn't get past 200 this time. In the afternoon we were to have a wellness class that talked about why sleep is so important. They didn't show up, guess they were sleeping, so we all went home. I had cards in the evening then zoom call with the GBM gals. It's my support group and all of us lost our hubbies with the same cancer. </p><p>Tuesday we are all working on diamond art pictures. It's going to be a continuation from here on till no one comes. It's fun just to talk and meet people in the village while working on our pictures. I stayed an extra half hour for the meditation class. We're usually there an hour and half then I went home to crochet. I did get the nativity set done for one order, still have two more to finish by next week.

The gal that wanted the nativity set loved it, so I have a feeling with everyone at the group seeing it, I better be making some for next year. We have a little store that sells our crafts, I'll make a few thru the summer and put them in the store next year. I went from that group to playing shuffleboard with a couple other gals. I had just enough time to make one of my meals, (spaghetti and shrimp with zucchini) for dinner then go play cards, Everything has to be timed just right on Thursdays so I'm not late for anything. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Friday I normally have darts but there's only one person that comes down to play, so I cancelled it for the rest of the month. I went shopping for Christmas wrapping paper and tape.

There's so much going on and hard to keep the dates of things straight. There's activities we have to pay for and others are free. I'll keep a close eye on the daily activities so the next few weeks I'll have plenty to blog about. Happy hour was at 4:00. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I walked around and got a few pictures of all the decorations. The first pic is an egg that one of the gals had in a dozen egg carton, the top didn't go down, and this egg was huge. We felt sorry for the hen. Could it be a duck egg? How did it get passed the inspectors? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgNGRzNazEGUwnM2jS41hOxbVwHTHwqeKFA-b1CIEdw8Ef-auEIaurmD7OgCF9IPL9V9EjKBSE2rlkuyAOt5mtO8gZoKdhvr3_ExCK1wePprlW6DgJdaj8-y4fC4Wr-qSwyL_zQ2BeP0lDivIdZgQL8zbQWaOXEDA9zzAioUqdOa17xLJ98kffMqfX1BVk" style="margin-left: 1em;

There's judging of the trees later in the month with money for winning. The Air Force Association does the judging and parties with the residents in the villages. This is my first time, so I'll tell all about it in the blogs coming up. The rest of the month has a lot going on. I hope you follow. Thank you if you do.

I mentioned it in another blog, but I'm so happy to be a substitute for two groups and one that I play every Wednesday. I have never seen or heard of how they play the game it's challenging, but I'm catching on. It's neat to go to another game and try to remember their rules. I'm thrilled to be able to play. </p><p>This week wasn't as hectic and a lot more time to crochet my orders. I'm sure I'll get them all done by second week of December. I'll have pictures when I'm done. Every little character is a bit different. </p><p>WII bowling on Monday and Wednesday was a bit on the low side score, so another gal and I practiced for an hour or two on Friday when no one was around. I can't say it did much good, but we had a good time trying different areas on where to throw the ball, just like a real game. </p><p>As we were playing on Monday I hit my thumb on the chair. I'm lazy and it hurts to keep getting up and down with my knees that's why I was sitting. Now I have a black/red thumb. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjSWM9l-cxafXhjLWsG1mhZMsSvS2ltDemuyO_zLmqZtlaI_BczbsvjYjvatZBq4dlKol13g4N-1QJmK-j4diaVRmN3E3Fk2C0Hr9tOh3Bqf8sYy-bjpGxCA0rafxD7-zkfBJvvoLFUxb6BoBt_vdFKGB2oyqpCR9q5Dkkexi3tQlrrQjmCea-jaWuE_DQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="374" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjSWM9l-cxafXhjLWsG1mhZMsSvS2ltDemuyO_zLmqZtlaI_BczbsvjYjvatZBq4dlKol13g4N-1QJmK-j4diaVRmN3E3Fk2C0Hr9tOh3Bqf8sYy-bjpGxCA0rafxD7-zkfBJvvoLFUxb6BoBt_vdFKGB2oyqpCR9q5Dkkexi3tQlrrQjmCea-jaWuE_DQ" width="180" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When I got home from cards on Wednesday, there was a lot of commotion outside and I heard the bear horn.

No family and No Jim, but three of us decided to go to Golden Corral for dinner. We got there at 1:00 and the line was all the way behind the building. Some guy that was leaving said the line was fast and to wait. He was right, we were in the door in 18 minutes. We got sat down almost immediately. We went thru the food line a couple times and out in an hour. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiiL5GTAbS48ZAVrJA3FuyeppSWKmjTNU86Nel_20W61rFkcxznPSd_-vxHh3rTz5u63MZZ6Y8PFworYic1yY0WOw8gcyKMp82o-l4fL3oSyEEOlbFAbwYe9wtvI3bpG_oOtEjGUrDaiOE6G0w6jtIh3trp4bjon6vJIDPTNZiYqeqsfbUhUYDfUkWztns" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="374" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiiL5GTAbS48ZAVrJA3FuyeppSWKmjTNU86Nel_20W61rFkcxznPSd_-vxHh3rTz5u63MZZ6Y8PFworYic1yY0WOw8gcyKMp82o-l4fL3oSyEEOlbFAbwYe9wtvI3bpG_oOtEjGUrDaiOE6G0w6jtIh3trp4bjon6vJIDPTNZiYqeqsfbUhUYDfUkWztns" width="180" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Line outside and inside. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiVx9ZHvlr6Vz59matmewlnkSQ6ELoFXALQFhCIOTrQmB1rEETWzSyYNJJ8hhw_DVX96czH5j0vrtm8WmVFWo6lL0zsETr9wOv1JHMwdPczgbhqOHCAXEApLMPoFH3dhOrjZgR0d8tUxsPe1E2ruNECkBEue0pRD_p3eiB9Qcx9vlPXtbxeMXQTGh59Fn8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="374" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiVx9ZHvlr6Vz59matmewlnkSQ6ELoFXALQFhCIOTrQmB1rEETWzSyYNJJ8hhw_DVX96czH5j0vrtm8WmVFWo6lL0zsETr9wOv1JHMwdPczgbhqOHCAXEApLMPoFH3dhOrjZgR0d8tUxsPe1E2ruNECkBEue0pRD_p3eiB9Qcx9vlPXtbxeMXQTGh59Fn8" width="180" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Perfect meal, lima beans, and mushrooms, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole and ham to top it off is pecan pie.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpuZUjL4y9W5bstPP9CdZN9HE3fB6-rxhynq5JfAqe_8IR9iTu0DNR5dyz7uipg3F6wfyNIzLfQ81mAZtDQTYcSPMBIYBMwmlAgxL1WgBJhfv6T2AGdwEzDXZ9JtJM0kGtOknAIc8kWjACASH1yy-qNEOkmM3kVz2UUbxrmo-E0ei4FWzyB7UeeLoHe74" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="281" data-original-width="374" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjpuZUjL4y9W5bstPP9CdZN9HE3fB6-rxhynq5JfAqe_8IR9iTu0DNR5dyz7uipg3F6wfyNIzLfQ81mAZtDQTYcSPMBIYBMwmlAgxL1WgBJhfv6T2AGdwEzDXZ9JtJM0kGtOknAIc8kWjACASH1yy-qNEOkmM3kVz2UUbxrmo-E0ei4FWzyB7UeeLoHe74" width="319" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Patsy and Ellen </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhRk8WqPcUPfSc6V7IFgjK5Uk8t5pe33AoHiCjkW9OQ4EiK6sc8SYCxaNXSodrqytd1bzbe_vjvthkyUcvvA2erK1b-zm7Y4kMLbnLzTkySORvniPwIEizI7P-YHrIQk2QwRfJNL1IwKtSdi5svwDEibRNLnOcycQ-bdCEOi2t3XR4nHCzdglu7OXUdsfU" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="281" data-original-width="374" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhRk8WqPcUPfSc6V7IFgjK5Uk8t5pe33AoHiCjkW9OQ4EiK6sc8SYCxaNXSodrqytd1bzbe_vjvthkyUcvvA2erK1b-zm7Y4kMLbnLzTkySORvniPwIEizI7P-YHrIQk2QwRfJNL1IwKtSdi5svwDEibRNLnOcycQ-bdCEOi2t3XR4nHCzdglu7OXUdsfU" width="319" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Friday a group of us decorated the lounge.

There's just some things that needs to get done, like house cleaning once in awhile, the deep kind of cleaning you do every so often. I ordered some wine racks and they came in this week. I had the hall closet packed with stuff and mainly boxes of wine, plus a couple in the bedroom. I never knew what I had or what they were because I brought them from the Auburndale house and most were bought while in the RV traveling. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg11aSeFgzclEuy3TiCyMrRkQeBZj-w5jz7-EF4h0L7Iy-Ld7NKiaVK6YkXuy0x903tpY52eF5oiBhdi4_IluNQGTOD2YFUpkGLpMn7x0Zn2ndxIbou9OyNF4NyBWX_kDVGugqT97nei1rJs8MVU7NEDYZB_Amq7H2QWsQqjeZvASN18mgT1ZAh64YKsK0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="341" data-original-width="610" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg11aSeFgzclEuy3TiCyMrRkQeBZj-w5jz7-EF4h0L7Iy-Ld7NKiaVK6YkXuy0x903tpY52eF5oiBhdi4_IluNQGTOD2YFUpkGLpMn7x0Zn2ndxIbou9OyNF4NyBWX_kDVGugqT97nei1rJs8MVU7NEDYZB_Amq7H2QWsQqjeZvASN18mgT1ZAh64YKsK0" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgS4aLpli5tjPrtpIKBeGfVQa050lgII79glBPsn64I_zMCRXpcvXj1liTMcF1TTtTQqFSZ6zgX2K54wPHbILSv7OLVHfD4xoaWpY7ZS7EuaLbyO17go8kDGBtKEiJ2Azao_tAiDUmyFoGTU73H_neZUm0RT6XPzigoyYE1WPqNKPm1Jo0aGqae_ZO83Xo" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="199" data-original-width="265" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgS4aLpli5tjPrtpIKBeGfVQa050lgII79glBPsn64I_zMCRXpcvXj1liTMcF1TTtTQqFSZ6zgX2K54wPHbILSv7OLVHfD4xoaWpY7ZS7EuaLbyO17go8kDGBtKEiJ2Azao_tAiDUmyFoGTU73H_neZUm0RT6XPzigoyYE1WPqNKPm1Jo0aGqae_ZO83Xo" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I put together the wine racks and loaded them and now I have less boxes around.

I knew never to call companies after a holiday but I needed to get a dental insurance cancelled since I hadn't used it for two years and didn't catch the date for "cancelling". I stayed on the phone for 45 minutes but finally got it done and there was no hassle. That saves me some money thru the year. I had WII bowling first thing then 15 minutes to get something to eat and on to get my monthly massage and chiropractor appointment. It's been chilly and my neck and back were really needing some attention. I got that all taken care of then had some time before cards. After cards was the zoom meeting with the GBM gals. We didn't have anyone new this week but got on a subject that was of interest to a few of the women. How to date after losing a husband. It's not easy and a lot of the gals are having a hard time. It seems men just want women for money and it's very obvious very early in the dating life. It's a crazy world and dating is the hardest.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Tuesday: I went to craft group which is working on the diamond art. I'm starting a brand new gnome picture. I still have two more to do so I'll be working on them awhile. I stayed in the room because meditation was next. This week we worked on how to ground ourselves to relax better when someone or something makes us upset. There's techniques and we learned from each other how we do it. Very interesting. I did a zoom call with one of the GBM gals in the late afternoon and after getting dinner, I played cards. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Wednesday: WII bowling at 10am. I'm so glad to be in two different groups. It's fun and we have some laughs. I went from there to the other building to play hand and foot. I was with a different team this time. I'm catching on pretty good, at least there were a lot fewer corrections on what I did. I came home, and played cards named 31 as I do almost every night. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thursday: Today was a bit different. I normally go to crochet, this time I stayed home till about 1:30 and went to the follow up dental appointment. I have inflamed gums, not gingivitis, but around a few of the crowns they're inflamed. The lady did another cleaning and said they look a lot better then the last time when I was in three months ago. I go back again in four months. When I got back home I called Carol which was here to look at the village area that I'm in instead of the towers with two bedrooms. They're fulltime RV'ers and still live in the RV but also had a house. They close on the house next week and on the waiting list for our villages. We'll see how long that takes. We went out to dinner at The Shack, my favorite place so far and they loved it too. (It's the one with fried green tomatoes). We said our goodbye's and see ya later. John and Carol</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgg_be2Ztl8-n-YMJ_MAH_xx5CsCRLrlT9vPPsbUyTtEM3zJ5uz7zsDYX9TcgRA8-wJeJEs8Wq4dgazILhvQM_Y93PJm9PAvzp8AZbNNNn7hZWYk_IbVVK6Ny4fUIwl-_V6EGfS5kZZLxih6tWmhWvK62plVvgDgYb9czkU7zRX910ynM4IwnYnM8pABhM" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="457" data-original-width="610" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgg_be2Ztl8-n-YMJ_MAH_xx5CsCRLrlT9vPPsbUyTtEM3zJ5uz7zsDYX9TcgRA8-wJeJEs8Wq4dgazILhvQM_Y93PJm9PAvzp8AZbNNNn7hZWYk_IbVVK6Ny4fUIwl-_V6EGfS5kZZLxih6tWmhWvK62plVvgDgYb9czkU7zRX910ynM4IwnYnM8pABhM" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Friday: I couldn't sleep most of the night and out of a sound sleep at 8:30 there's a knock on the door. When the door is shut no one is to knock, so I figured it wasn't someone in the village. It was two gals from Eglin AFB helping out our village with tasks, like washing windows. I let them in and they washed my windows. I have to say they looked great. The guys were out back taking the leaves out of the eaves which was a lot so that's done. It was worth answering the door. Since I was up I stayed up and crocheted. I had darts at 1:00 and played till 2:00. I crocheted some more till time for the North Carolina "gang" to come on zoom. Then a call from one of the RV'ers that lost her husband a month ago had questions so I helped her out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Saturday was just for crocheting and lunch out with a a couple from another village. I do crocheting with her and also card playing. We went to Pedro's Mexican restaurant, great food. I went to social hour at the lounge which is always a good time and laugh. The guard came in to tell us there's been two bears roaming around. I thought I had seen one, but it was down the road and I didn't have a good look, he verified it was a bear at the time I saw it. One of these days I'll see it and get a picture. I actually watched USA Challenge on Paramount + all evening. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We have a fun thing going on around the villages. There's tiny little ducks being placed in all kinds of places. We have a bunch but every once in awhile we'll spread them around too. People pick them up and move them somewhere else.

I'll have to vent a bit. Arizona nor Hawaii changes time. Florida a few years ago voted by high percentage NOT to have the time changed. The Congress passed it the Senate shot it down. I'm trying to figure out why and what as citizens that vote for something with majority that it doesn't happen. We all complain, but no one does anything about it. If we can all get on the band wagon and complain to whoever (our state representatives? maybe we can get it done.</p><p>This week was a bit quieter.

I'm still just below my average but it's nothing major to have to keep the score up. I got a call when I left bowling from another village that needed a sub in hand and foot. I played with them for a couple hours.

That doesn't happen often but I had made arrangements to see the move "After Life" with a couple other gals a couple weeks ago and we wanted to see it before it left the theatre.

It was well done. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wednesday: I had WII bowling in the morning, then played hand and foot in another village. I'll be going to this group weekly. They play it a lot different, but I'll get the hang of it eventually. It's great to get to know other people in the other villages. We also had a "Mash BBQ" which was really good. They had the shows of Mash on the big screen while we ate. There was BBQ with sidesof potato salad, baked beans, roll and two cookies. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiry5MiPcOzkfM0XozMiXnWW04GVsJBteb-j85YjFRlqdw3w8vlckxiF3idtsRXN8Ch6dZ5mQjQFhavJzNqB-dQChS6BfxM_kRXG_Gb6IIIHbummZPmPShFJ8sGj-GblYJ8VDN_j_iPHhfGrtzC6nECtgGAMS13F2gD4QjiIAnwtwALgkUns5gPp2odu74" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="686" data-original-width="915" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiry5MiPcOzkfM0XozMiXnWW04GVsJBteb-j85YjFRlqdw3w8vlckxiF3idtsRXN8Ch6dZ5mQjQFhavJzNqB-dQChS6BfxM_kRXG_Gb6IIIHbummZPmPShFJ8sGj-GblYJ8VDN_j_iPHhfGrtzC6nECtgGAMS13F2gD4QjiIAnwtwALgkUns5gPp2odu74" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgo9x2bW5a7fBXUKR7ulQ8AaR1AXS7-I0plkXv1ZH8T1eXLnef93rZwXD5x5bUrK8K6a41jURq6Ulq_J4oS9EdrHekMnYe2Ene1QjVR057GzMfSoE_lPVrLZahWUuFvA8T9KIbvnOSO6eHG3UAtrx0zpQ9R706QrxmCJc9PoKpQ5uGf-pSAjlhrxRiP15o" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="686" data-original-width="515" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgo9x2bW5a7fBXUKR7ulQ8AaR1AXS7-I0plkXv1ZH8T1eXLnef93rZwXD5x5bUrK8K6a41jURq6Ulq_J4oS9EdrHekMnYe2Ene1QjVR057GzMfSoE_lPVrLZahWUuFvA8T9KIbvnOSO6eHG3UAtrx0zpQ9R706QrxmCJc9PoKpQ5uGf-pSAjlhrxRiP15o" width="180" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh2HJEe51BDS6ZtTLgKCmOw4xNg8COMNYh8ZEA271YYmTDQB5FiY1rJbX_vghXIn6MMYf4rYoPo4-I_H78VyNPjRv78net5m-GORyQpetqPdKA5AuvHpcPy8I46wdgKvYk341aq5IOJHf19eypEE8UXbAEPclXLbmxq0-0TWVBCngs-v3GbLx9-EnL9tz4" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="686" data-original-width="915" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh2HJEe51BDS6ZtTLgKCmOw4xNg8COMNYh8ZEA271YYmTDQB5FiY1rJbX_vghXIn6MMYf4rYoPo4-I_H78VyNPjRv78net5m-GORyQpetqPdKA5AuvHpcPy8I46wdgKvYk341aq5IOJHf19eypEE8UXbAEPclXLbmxq0-0TWVBCngs-v3GbLx9-EnL9tz4" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4MtFkSlFZhKb0SXEIo6lQxffL36OZHmVqq12NYkry9-GxM_gOtNfo48gBiYKx2jzonQsx0Ao6bEtae1nXOB-yN55ckNdlhFcr5KchFBGt8xt742P7i9VtAzAE5Uyob-s1v76EsEXYD9pW92Vdt52mmftEe9wl0yjEHrPD8ooOAmyj_P7DNhIVCITg5o0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="686" data-original-width="515" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4MtFkSlFZhKb0SXEIo6lQxffL36OZHmVqq12NYkry9-GxM_gOtNfo48gBiYKx2jzonQsx0Ao6bEtae1nXOB-yN55ckNdlhFcr5KchFBGt8xt742P7i9VtAzAE5Uyob-s1v76EsEXYD9pW92Vdt52mmftEe9wl0yjEHrPD8ooOAmyj_P7DNhIVCITg5o0" width="180" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">I also got my new front door.

I love everyone of them so far. I make up the meals for four as suggested and sometimes I get all four out of it and sometimes it's so good I eat enough for 2 people It's portioned controlled so you don't over eat. I've gained three pounds since I started them. That's the first time I've gained weight since Jim died. Here's a couple meals that I "over ate" but still had enough to put in the freezer for those times I don't have time to fix the meal.

I'll do a day by day again so I can show the schedule better. I barely had time to eat between activities and I'm thrilled to be this busy. It keeps me out of trouble, (sorta of). </p><p>Monday: WII bowling was first at 11:30. I sleep in till about 9:30 on Monday's. I was told there was a hand and foot group that meet at 1:00 in another building and they wanted me as a substitute, so I went over to join them. It didn't take me long to pick it up from not playing since 2020 when I stopped playing because of Covid. They played it pretty much like I did. It took about three and half hours so I could catch on. I got home to get a bite to eat then over to the main area (commons) to be in the Halloween-wine night. They did story telling, and also started a spooky story and each of us added to it. They had a couple fire pits which was nice because it did get chilly. (Click on the pictures to enlarge). </p><p>A lot of people were dressed up in management and this is Sharon. What a costume, several people didn't know her. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgt71Jjgz8oJyZAx0zg-CLQ-prY9TWMtFvPVG_8DMlomq2_8NvTsr_5ASC1pVHrYyVgF7Sxo7gvlW_UdYwkreqOTzSmi4YeQBKSRDTptNSQ3EiDv_wYw1utkxIg78EXcUH1vMsP5YqAZSVH_EuNn9iNBJxu7z_EIlvVzP68Vabh9pzL_wZruzSj_Ro01S8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="691" data-original-width="518" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgt71Jjgz8oJyZAx0zg-CLQ-prY9TWMtFvPVG_8DMlomq2_8NvTsr_5ASC1pVHrYyVgF7Sxo7gvlW_UdYwkreqOTzSmi4YeQBKSRDTptNSQ3EiDv_wYw1utkxIg78EXcUH1vMsP5YqAZSVH_EuNn9iNBJxu7z_EIlvVzP68Vabh9pzL_wZruzSj_Ro01S8" width="180" /></a></div><p></p><p>Debbie was the one that came up with the idea to activities.

It's over usually by 11:30 and I wanted to check out another village that I had heard had hand and foot but played it differently. They play Hand, knee and foot. I wanted to see how they did that and the rules, they had a player missing so I sat in and learned how they play. It was great to learn the differences and we had a great time. I'll be on their team weekly as with the Monday, I'm a substitute. It was over by 4:00 and I got home in time to get a bite to eat, then play cards at my village which is every night except Friday and Saturday. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thursday: I thought I'd sleep in a bit, but my neighbor called and asked if I was going to activities meeting. Ooops, I didn't have it in the calendar on the phone so forgot. I hurried and got ready for the 10:00 meeting then got something to eat to get over to another building for crochet group. I got the little dogs done that a lady wanted and she was there. This one was challenging, I only had the faces of the dogs, but she was pleased. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgBjxaznheAeKzaGeQaukDYMraUFDBvRTzA5kUvf3p61AVGRdshluev0EfB0PYcpREZisqvAzmkDeIbY2rlKj2XdYhCRn0ZS52guqbB_zoucDVtclCHCyS2xIc37bSMxa8cdFPApCyEifPcPkMdxsLcen6RuT8Emy9vzkdSxKER30uFa8ekzHKWEgRrEJ4" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="455" data-original-width="607" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgBjxaznheAeKzaGeQaukDYMraUFDBvRTzA5kUvf3p61AVGRdshluev0EfB0PYcpREZisqvAzmkDeIbY2rlKj2XdYhCRn0ZS52guqbB_zoucDVtclCHCyS2xIc37bSMxa8cdFPApCyEifPcPkMdxsLcen6RuT8Emy9vzkdSxKER30uFa8ekzHKWEgRrEJ4" width="320" /></a></div>I had three people that wanted to play indoor shuffleboard so I went back to the commons by 2:30 to play with them. That's a simple game that the gals can play. There's a couple that can sit and do it. We normally play an hour. I finished that at 4, got something to eat and played cards. Still too cold to sit outside for very long, so home by 7:00</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Friday: I slept in a little later, but when I did get up one of the gals here called to ask if I could get her computer to come up. I went down to see what was going on but she had no wifi. It's bad in our building, they're trying to get it up going and everyone pays for it in the rent (I don't, I have my own thru the company). They're rewiring everyone's wifi so some have it and some don't. She came down to use my Wifi for the business she had to get done. I got some lunch and went to play darts. I had the afternoon free so I finished some of the little details I wanted to get done.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I took down the wreath I had with my little crochet animals and put them on two pine cones.

I wish it would stay that way all winter, except a little more rain. It's been a long time since we've had rain. (No not a hurricane lol )</p><p>Sunday: I decided I needed a change. If you're not happy with something at this age, change it. I kept hearing people talk about it and I had a problem trying to talk myself out of it. I laid awake all night wondering why I was still in chimes. I just wasn't comfortable playing and there was no reason to stay so I packed everything up and took it to the gal that is the leaders assistant and walked away. I felt such a relief and good feeling. It was surprising how I felt. I just don't need to do something that's not fun. </p><p>I was on the lookout for people that play hand and foot card game. I now have two possibilities so this week I'll be going to a couple other villages and watching a game or two to see if I can learn it again the way they do it.

UT OH, I knew right away I was having vertigo again. I had my first one in 2013 and the second in 2020. The first one was about 4 hours then it went away, the second one was three weeks and ended up going to the doctor. I was so sick with the second episode. All I could think of is how was I going to get thru it without Jim. He helped me do everything I was so sick. I couldn't move without getting sick. I was supposed to go to the fall festival with Halloween costumes and a DJ plus whatever else was planned but I could barely walk to the kitchen so gave up the idea of going. I finally felt a little better by evening, but still had a headache. </div><div><br /></div><div>Saturday: Thank goodness the spinning stopped and I felt pretty good, just light headed the first part of the morning. I worked almost all day on the gnome garden after breakfast. I had stones to redistribute, but when I started working on it, there's at least 4 inches of stones under the dirt. I'll be doing this for a couple days. I'll post the before and after pictures when I finish with the gnome garden. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja-DCERh-RqR5bjzRU4HsRBgfYvgXxflzEE9_E28UnwFoe0x42Gu-rwdM4ocuneUw1IRC_nozUPqnhjO9ie-u7r9TjT3rENmPbU9b7ZMo5hJUS7jxk5w7jwXPltk4HzaXvsfUS12e79eBqqk0kUwZ-rTQKjdNweQbta96LchERGgPb7be1SzrEGePE78Y/s4032/IMG_20231028_115712_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja-DCERh-RqR5bjzRU4HsRBgfYvgXxflzEE9_E28UnwFoe0x42Gu-rwdM4ocuneUw1IRC_nozUPqnhjO9ie-u7r9TjT3rENmPbU9b7ZMo5hJUS7jxk5w7jwXPltk4HzaXvsfUS12e79eBqqk0kUwZ-rTQKjdNweQbta96LchERGgPb7be1SzrEGePE78Y/s320/IMG_20231028_115712_01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I made another hello fresh meal and it was excellent.

We had a bake sale on Friday and Saturday along with rummage sale for both the residents and outside of the campus. This is a yearly thing and a lot of people get involved. I had a very busy week along with everyone else making baked goods along with the normal activities. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Monday: I took a neighbor to the hospital for a heart procedure called Watchman. She was there just to check it out and she's doing fine. Always learning some sort of health stuff around here. </p><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Tuesday: I went to the diamond painting group. There were less people because of the bake and rummage sale. We still had a couple to sit with, I thought I'd have my picture done this week, but still have quite a few colors to do. I had lunch in the commons (lunchroom) then on to meditation. We do topics every week and it's so informative.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Wednesday: I had WII bowling and made up the games I didn't do on Monday. I'm staying around 170's, it's up and down by just a few points, but I'm still in the "pro" category. Later in the afternoon I did paint and sip. Several of us did it and had a good time. Wine and paint, this was my result.

This time the box was in great shape and the meat and food was cold. Last week the box was wet and falling apart and food all warm. I have four meals to make up and I have a feeling by looking at the menus/directions it's going to be good. They have a huge selection and all labeled. So far I'm impressed. Let me know if you'd like to try it. I'll keep you posted on taste and convenience of making them. UPDATE: It was delicious and only took 30 minutes. All the ingredients were included and marked very well. I'm good to go with meals coming to me with everything included.</div><div style="text-align: start;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: start;">Saturday: A couple gals and I went downtown to Ft Walton Beach and Niceville to the craft fairs. It's been awhile for me and I wanted to see what was being made now days. What a great day. We left at 8:30 and arrived to the first one at 9:00. It was inside and about 60 tables. Most were jewelry and big wreaths. There were several that had ceramic or resin items. I got some tiny clothespins that can hold up my events paper on the refrigerator. </div><div style="text-align: start;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDa9HUUiQif2ki5eq7eQdd9cHeXGF7XIz_J4qlYn0Y-uO37MyR0Rb1Eot2UU1Bg60-fcFuu88KFhAiLxXj0byIMJF5fnQ5S8lWt2op5OcV0NnXUPOH-g8JbkidC6SWMWIrILblK7L0c1snHtTDRpqvB8GIYUHQhYjWrloJT5utpIXwCQLKAp3HYvZQHPA/s4032/PXL_20231021_140143526.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDa9HUUiQif2ki5eq7eQdd9cHeXGF7XIz_J4qlYn0Y-uO37MyR0Rb1Eot2UU1Bg60-fcFuu88KFhAiLxXj0byIMJF5fnQ5S8lWt2op5OcV0NnXUPOH-g8JbkidC6SWMWIrILblK7L0c1snHtTDRpqvB8GIYUHQhYjWrloJT5utpIXwCQLKAp3HYvZQHPA/s320/PXL_20231021_140143526.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnBphC5g_pTuhqtpx1gZfTOMz9pPsx3DahxMgrujfJ2LGEEMlRVVbS2zT_XswKQILE1w7hupWc0IImMxojKOfUgez5gZRvS-t2Kv4awEAkPk3I481K8mH0tv8UggABK2h9C_y9blHggrJROZawuJ_sMX5JTl0tVUirwIFeGNUjsPTvg1FLN4S8hqksZBI/s4032/PXL_20231021_140152299.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnBphC5g_pTuhqtpx1gZfTOMz9pPsx3DahxMgrujfJ2LGEEMlRVVbS2zT_XswKQILE1w7hupWc0IImMxojKOfUgez5gZRvS-t2Kv4awEAkPk3I481K8mH0tv8UggABK2h9C_y9blHggrJROZawuJ_sMX5JTl0tVUirwIFeGNUjsPTvg1FLN4S8hqksZBI/s320/PXL_20231021_140152299.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIuUumAO16UlK4Yx6wLu4v8P6IuhDL9ykoefuplHyQ6utZENgZhp92zbxfU5vhbtCJ6BtolE0UC5pe0Th-eV93AKucGYTy-KDauTeQKOS4INP5DUsmWWtEEF9rJjVwxyXSl-suIBgM9o0yoxv8YnW-Q46rDBXeSpNWwxBTPwBsAMpCHg3sLVTFeA7P9cs/s4032/PXL_20231021_144521052.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIuUumAO16UlK4Yx6wLu4v8P6IuhDL9ykoefuplHyQ6utZENgZhp92zbxfU5vhbtCJ6BtolE0UC5pe0Th-eV93AKucGYTy-KDauTeQKOS4INP5DUsmWWtEEF9rJjVwxyXSl-suIBgM9o0yoxv8YnW-Q46rDBXeSpNWwxBTPwBsAMpCHg3sLVTFeA7P9cs/s320/PXL_20231021_144521052.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: start;">We headed to Niceville for the next one which was outdoors.

At 9:00 I went to the craft group and still working on the diamond art. I should be done with the first one in a couple more weeks. I had my last rehab/PT after a couple hours with the craft. I could barely walk. Every bone in me was crying out. I have trouble with the cold weather. It was 48 when I got up but did get to 55. I just couldn't get warm and was too tired to move much for PT. She gave me some ideas to work on and was happy I did as well as I did in Chicago with the walking. She dismissed me and told me to continue the exercises that is on the videos she made for me. I'm happy it's all over, a six week program. I can now balance better and I can do a lot of walking backwards and in circles with my eyes closed. Passed and done. Tuesday afternoon was meditation then cards in the evening. </p><p>Wednesday: I started the day with WII bowling. In the afternoon I had chimes practice. We don't normally have practice in the middle of the week, but we had a concert on Friday and didn't practice last Sunday because the leader was gone for the holiday weekend. I crocheted in the afternoon and got a family of ducks done. I still have one more set to do.

I decided to go to the crochet group in the next building over. There were a couple gals working on diamond art and the rest of us crocheting. It's basically a gab session but I do learn stitches from others that's been crocheting more years than me. It's another card night with lots of laughs, there's been 8 of us the past couple days. It's a great time. <div><br /></div><div>Friday: I got a haircut finally! It was getting too long. It's been almost three months this time, but I wanted it longer to keep warmer while up north. I got my first HelloFresh meal delivery and what a mess. The box was so wet it was falling apart. I can't believe the UPS driver could get it to me. Inside the bags the meals were in were so wet they were open. There wasn't anything cool about it. The directions were wet and stuck together. I was disappointed with the meat it wasn't cold and I'm worried about food poisoning. I got hold of the company and they credited my account and I decided to order four for next week. Tammy showed me what she gets and has never had a problem. My son says it's because it's too hot in Florida. lol If it happens again, I'll cancel it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTywYubibyWBa_d_uYNTkA0KTlEKxec61PSDAKIDs_LNMjClOu4pV9odfouogxrBfKR1vTwM33QoxYAsB7kmMNG0Nerru__buIWXKD2chd6SlFZGOLFQXaXn5QY2Nui0WF8eFSQ0sIaZCFEh6Lqz77QZ2DvAvzFPJFXUQsUZPTnjlrPMlDpfd9sgl4NnM/s4032/IMG_20231013_104202_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTywYubibyWBa_d_uYNTkA0KTlEKxec61PSDAKIDs_LNMjClOu4pV9odfouogxrBfKR1vTwM33QoxYAsB7kmMNG0Nerru__buIWXKD2chd6SlFZGOLFQXaXn5QY2Nui0WF8eFSQ0sIaZCFEh6Lqz77QZ2DvAvzFPJFXUQsUZPTnjlrPMlDpfd9sgl4NnM/s320/IMG_20231013_104202_01.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivYJKcGwptBiyYKHHBNh00vmt-lg8GKX8oDeLmlJ0mrRn1hRU5tHtfYty0BwLwj8HB0ghwRsJYQgkVht1A5HpM_zdDbrgZB-BxD_pyNDKeWtKpY6dsl1I7pafoP2qgmJALprZbyMl0KCC6kT3W3vhXLRNYDRfey4fb0TgfLrMS99_JU48XGCsGJKSRSP8/s4032/IMG_20231013_104201_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivYJKcGwptBiyYKHHBNh00vmt-lg8GKX8oDeLmlJ0mrRn1hRU5tHtfYty0BwLwj8HB0ghwRsJYQgkVht1A5HpM_zdDbrgZB-BxD_pyNDKeWtKpY6dsl1I7pafoP2qgmJALprZbyMl0KCC6kT3W3vhXLRNYDRfey4fb0TgfLrMS99_JU48XGCsGJKSRSP8/s320/IMG_20231013_104201_01.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All the meat felt warm</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEivjJxzmwPDBV0CwBrVBnMmQtsuTxbJ8IbjRd7SOzDxZyatzPJrCu_rH1E4wDMmBS02mZ2xTKF9SejtKCdZjy8s0i7_xTr8S3x5A00vsQ9vf7L_JctDuiBQ8dVjxTySXKmFMpv_PvxXmGZf5k9HP-FbhJVpfWNcMfTYYaAawWtp9bbrN6f8L1NWBWHanRA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="292" data-original-width="1158" height="81" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEivjJxzmwPDBV0CwBrVBnMmQtsuTxbJ8IbjRd7SOzDxZyatzPJrCu_rH1E4wDMmBS02mZ2xTKF9SejtKCdZjy8s0i7_xTr8S3x5A00vsQ9vf7L_JctDuiBQ8dVjxTySXKmFMpv_PvxXmGZf5k9HP-FbhJVpfWNcMfTYYaAawWtp9bbrN6f8L1NWBWHanRA" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">The packs of gel ice were mostly melted.

We'll sit by the pool with the firepit and tell scary stories on 30th and have our village party on 31st. It's going to be a fun month. About 1:30 I noticed the haze outside and remembered the eclipse. I bought eclipse sun glasses and took them out to see the partial sun eclipse. It was so clear. I couldn't get a pic but found one taken in our area.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@aerial_cristina/video/7289878836165037343?q=eclipse%20october%202023&t=1697339591744">https://www.tiktok.com/@aerial_cristina/video/7289878836165037343?q=eclipse%20october%202023&t=1697339591744</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I hope you can see it, that's how I saw it. but couldn't get it on camera. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The night ended with happy hour with a big group of gals all sitting outside.

I have three friends on the road and I followed them on google maps location. At one point a couple were close to each other but they don't KNOW each other. Another couple met up while driving close in Oklahoma. I can put the little man on the road and see what they see. One of them is back home but I still have a couple more roaming around. It's been fun to see thru their eyes the sightseeing they're doing. </p><p>This week wasn't as exciting. I'm getting to the point I need a change and since it's cooler I'll be working on my patio when I get back from Chicago in a couple weeks. I'm going to be with youngest son for the Chicago marathon and will be gone for five days, that will be different and a lot to put on the blog for that week. I leave Thursday. </p><p>I played Wii bowling Monday and Wednesday. The scores are all over the place but at least I'm keeping a 600 series. Craft class is still working on the diamond painting and I ordered another one which is Christmas gnomes. I love working on something with a bunch of other people. I also still go to a crochet group and brought a couple other gals with me on Thursday. </p><p>Rehab is almost done. I'm working on advanced balance which I'm doing fairly well. Close your eyes and kick one leg out front and back then move up a step. I haven't mastered that yet and if you can do it, you'll have no problem if you almost fall, you'll catch yourself. I'm doing pretty good on the strength, at least a gallon of milk isn't so hard to pick up anymore. </p><p>The highlight of this week was the German Octoberfest. I didn't go. but took some pictures and grabbed a couple more from Facebook that someone else posted.
