 It is hard for me to blog at night as it is late at night until Alan is done with the computer space so by that time I am sound asleep, so here goes for a morning blog. I hope I am doing my blogs correctly now since Alan showed me how to do the blogs right. The weather here has been much warmer but great in the house. I keep busy doing my computer games and puzzles and bible reading. Alan has been doing great to make sure I get my meals.

I was out too late to blog

 I did not blog yesterday as I was tired. We met with Albert for evening meal at a buffet. I guess I am getting too old for this night life. Well here is a couple pictures.

Sorry I was not posting everything.

 I did not understand about posting after making a blog for each day. Sometimes I hit the publish button and sometimes I did not. Alan helped me to understand how to do it. So my birthday july 23 you will see various posts from different days. I know it is a little confusing, but from today I should be able to do it correctly. Please forgive me I am 95 years old today.

This is Tuesday

 Up early this morning and had a sponge bath to get ready to go to Tom Hams for my 95th birthday, which was spent with Alan driving me there. We left here about 11:30am to go to "Tom Hams Lighthouse". I had fish with chips and Alan had a turkey sandwich, we also had a appetizer. We were seated outside and watched Navy ship #65 being docked. We also viewed the hangers where Grampa Al. worked and the last place where I worked above the North Island Credit Union. Then we traveled down the Strand to Imperial Beach and Chula Vista, finally we headed back home. Latter on we finished our lunch for our dinner and now I am tired, it was a big day.
