Ellen's Birthday

Yesterday Ethel and I were invited for dinner to celebrate Ellen's 85th Birthday at a restaurant in Poway. They picked us up at our house at about 3:45pm, so we didn't have to drive which was great as I don't care to drive at night any more. The food was great. .

                                                    Ellen's family and sister Gerry.

                                                  There was nine of us in the group

Prime Time

Well today was Prime Time. The entertainment was "Project Harmony" done buy 4 ladies. This was very good as it reminded me of years ago when my two sisters and I would harmonize as a trio  We had such fun sometimes singing at church. It also reminded me of the "Andrew Sisters" years ago. I love that kind of music. Then there was the PRIME TIME menu which was Orange Glazed Chicken, with a delicious green salad, green beans, rice, rolls and of course desert which was ice cream with carmel and chocolate topping and a choice of cookies. The discussion around the tables was "food which was different. My selection was watermelon or cantaloupe with a sprinkle of salt. So I received another cookie for that. Well the cookies came home as I had eaten too much. Later on in the afternoon one of our friends, Pat came over with 4 avocados, home made vegetable soup and some other goodies. At 3:00 pm we went to the club for "hand & foot".
I must add that yesterday at 8:00 am we took the car to Toyota to have the breaks worked on. They brought us home and at 4:30 pm they picked us up to get the car. After we picked up the car we
stopped at Taco Bell for dinner and by the way we still have left overs from Taco Bell.

                                                          

Precious Lord

Yesterday at Church the orchestra played with all the instruments, such great music. One of my favorite songs was Precious Lord Take My Hand.  The choir sang also,  Dr. Mofid Wasef was the speaker, the topic was from Luke 5:1-11, about Jesus teachings and miracles. We are so blessed with all the activities at our church.
Today I went to the exercise room then I went to ceramics. We will be going to play hand and foot at
1:00 pm.

A Busy Day with Lovely

The day started out at about 8:45 am as I slept in this morning. Lovely made me some of her coffee. Ethel and I had our cold cereal for breakfast. Then Lovely and I went to the workout gym as Lovely wanted to help me with using the different machines in addition to using the treadmill. We came home at about 11:00 am. Lovely worked me on every machine so that I know how to use them. Even though I did a lot, my muscles were not sore or tired.

We came home and made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch. During lunch, we talked about how to find cheaper flights. So, Lovely showed Ethel and I how to check for airfares on CheapOair.com. While we were on the web site, the subject came up to see the price of a senior round trip ticket to Taiwan. It occurred to me that I will need my passport if I was to take an oversea trip. Has my passport expired? So, I checked. Sure enough, my passport will expire on Aug. 25, 2017. If I wanted to travel next February and go to Taiwan with Alan, I didn't want to have any problem with my passport. I needed to renew my passport now!

So, we downloaded the form to do a mail-in renewal. I also needed to get passport pictures. We found out that Walmart has a photo center which will do the pictures for $7.88. On the way to Walmart, we found a nice Panda Express and had dinner there. We got the picture taken and shopped while we waited. By the time we picked up all the items on our list, the pictures were done. Lovely drove us home as it was already dark by then. I really don't like to drive at night.

I worked the rest of the evening on getting everything to be mailed out tomorrow after Prime Time at church.

What a busy day this was!

Lovely Is Re-training Me

We came back from Rummy Que and I didn't win any games today. Lovely had arrived already and stock piled our coffee mixes!. She had been wanting Mexican food, so we will take her to a local restaurant that's right up the street for dinner tonight. We all like Mexican food. Lovely is going to drive my car to see what she thinks about the shimmering that starts when the breaks are applied. I called AAA about auto and home insurance today. And it sure is nice to have Lovely here even for just 48 hours. She will go to Prime Time on Thursday with Ethel and I. We also invited Gina to join us. We have so many things to catch up on. I realized that I have not posted for almost two months. No wonder Lovely says she has to re-train me in how to do this again.

The Walking Grand Piano

This is Sunday with Alan here we went to Church, the message was on Margin Schedule. Then while the lady was playing the Grand Piano the piano kept walking away from her until a man assisted her by holding the piano still, the problem was the wheels were not locked.
We had no hand and foot cards for Saturday as Ray was in the hospital with a heart problem.
Friday we were going to go to visit Toni Miller and when I called her they were at the V.A. hospital as Keith Miller had just passed away. We will try and check in on Toni this week sometime.

Busy Alan

This is another busy day.
Alan went to play tennis this morning.
For lunch we had sandwiches.
Alan proceeded to take apart the old kitchen sink faucet which was quit a task. Then he installed the new one and it sure looks nice and works well. Thanks plumber!!!

Next Alan installed a new cabin air filter in my car. O what a dirty air filter the old one was, never been replaced for 13 years.

Tomorrow Ethel and I have doctor's appointments. Then we have hand and foot cards and Alan will go to Alden's to watch Josh's football game.

We plan to go to Togi Miller's Friday to deliver another copy of "My Story".
