Another Day

Left the house at 10:00 am to go to Prime Time. The program was (Cowboy Jack) the menu was (Parmesan Crusted Chicken, Pasta, Veggies and Strawberry cheese cake). Could wear anything about cowboys so I still have the jean outfit that Lovely and Debby picked out for me in year 2000 when I went on the cruise with Betty and Gloria, my two roommates from 1955, 1956 & 1957. Wow that was a long time ago.
At 3:00 pm we went to the club house to play Hand & Foot. How great Lois and I won over Ethel and Mary. When we went out to the car the wind was blowing and it seemed real cold, as now we are getting some cooler weather after the hot spell we had.
I just read Lovely's Blog and she arrived in Taiwan safely. So Lovely are you shocked to see me do some Blogs?

Shopping at Jeromes

This morning we left at 9:45 to go to Jeromes to purchase a Full size bed for Ethel. After filling out the paperwork we came home and it seemed like a lot of semi trucks on the freeway or it is because I don't drive on the freeway much anymore. We arrived home at 12:00 noon. Jeromes was to deliver the bed this afternoon so we skipped ceramics and hand & foot today. I don't know what happened but it is now 9:55 pm and no bed. We received several phone calls with names of people we didn't know so something is not right, I hope they show up tomorrow.

Busy sunday

Well this was a real busy Sunday. Lovely stayed over night last night. This morning we got ready for Church 8:30 am service. Had a great service starting with Pastor Brian & Pastor Mofid leading the Bagpipe Processional. The symphony preformed with other great music. Pastor Brian gave a message of "The Purpose of Giving". After the service I was surprised to be greeted from Alden and family as they had to park in the lower parking lot and were unable to sit where we were as the Church was packed. There was a lot of activity in the courtyard after the service. Then we made our way over to Marie Callenders for brunch.
After brunch we all ended up at my Condo for time together, but we missed Hailey as she had time with her friend from the July cruise. Well then everyone got involved in finishing Aunt Ethel's project.
Then there was that huge chocolate cake and we had to divide it for every one to take home. They all left about 2:00 pm and Lovely called and said she arrived at Regina's safely. Then Lovely had to repack things as Ethel gave her a large suitcase. While Lovely is in U.S. Alan takes over for the church in Taiwan.

Lovely Down from L.A.

This morning it was very foggy. I washed clothes while Ethel worked vigorously on rearranging her room. She disassembled her queen size bed, sawed the wood piece underneath and set up one of the two sets of drawers as a window seat. What to do with the other set of drawers is now our biggest question? Yippy... as Alden and his family will be here tomorrow. Maybe they can find a good home for it or at least move the darn thing to the patio. Then next week we will go shopping for a regular size bed for her room.

Lovely called to let me know that she was going to leave L.A. at 3:00 pm to come down. With the way she drives, she said she'd arrive here at about 6:00 pm. (She walked in the door at 6:05!) I had made some flan this morning. And for dinner I made scalloped potatoes and corn and of course, flan for dessert.

It is so great to have Lovely. The bad part is she has to leave tomorrow at about 1:00 pm. Well she will go to church with us tomorrow for the 8:30am service. We will go to Marie Callendar's for brunch. There will be 10 of us as Alden and his group will also be with us. Everyone will come over here as I bought a HUGE triple layer chocolate cake from Costco!
                                                                                                             
And on other notes, we've been really hot weather this week, but today it cooled down quite a bit.

Yes, it's been a month since I last blogged... better late than never...

I should mention that one reason why I haven't been able to blog is because I forgot my own password to get into my blog account. Can it be my age?

Lovely came and helped me out... all she did was point to  my notes and said, "Mom, you've been using the wrong password?" Oh... was that the problem? She wrote it nice and big on my typed notes. I should now be able to blog more regularly!

Time to Blog

After reading Lovely's Blog I decided to blog. While Alan and Bruce were here we did a few special things. First Alan drove us over to LaJolla to view these air kites that people were flying. Alan and Bruce walked down to get a better view of the ocean etc. Ethel and I wanted to get to a area where it wasn't so windy. Well down went Ethel, with a few scrapes, in a second 3 men came to help. Are you OK?, Yes. Can we get your car for you? We don't know where the car is. How did you get here? With our sons. Where are your sons? Over there some where. At that time Alan and Bruce came in sight.So I said there they are. Well we laughed and said "don't leave these two old ladies alone"
.
Well then we went on a tour of the Midway Air craft carrier. Alan dropped us off so he could park the car. We toured the ship and were ready to leave so we waited for Alan to get the car. Well it took so long we thought someone must have stole the car, Alan thought the same as he was going all over the parking lot trying to find my car with Annie's Keys. Finally he realized he was using the wrong keys and looking for the wrong car.

Alan took us on a tour at Point Loma viewed over the military graves with San Diego and North Island in the background. Then we went to the Boat House for lunch and It was Bruce's Birthday so Bruce ordered the Free Prime Rib dinner.

Then finally on Thursday Alan took us to the airport to pick up the rental car for Bruce and ended up going south to Chula Vista instead we needed to go north to Rancho Bernardo.

Getting Ready

Yesterday Ethel, Alan, Isaiah and I went to Moma Cellas for lunch. At 1:30 we went to Rummikub, we had a great time I won one table and Ethel won one table. I had made a banana cream pie with whipping cream which we had for a snack in the afternoon. Ethel and I finished our left overs in the evening.

Today after breakfast I packed my bags for our cruise, then filled all my containers for medicine.
Today we will be going to "hand & foot" at 3:00 pm. At 6:00 pm we will be going with Alan to his friends for dinner. Tomorrow we will head up to L.A. to stay at Annie's over night. We will be ready Saturday to board the ship from Long Beach for our 7 day cruise to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan & Puerto Vallarta then back to Long Beach.

Church today

Back to blogging. Alan, Isaiah, Ethel and I went to church this morning  It seemed like there was a larger attendance today. Then we went to Denny's for brunch. The tempter  was in the 90"s but we didn't need to use the AC as it was comfy in the house. Alan and Isaiah went to play basketball with Alan's friend and then they went down to Alden's. Isaiah will be staying at Alden's until Tuesday. I am getting things lined up to pack for the cruise as we will be driving to L.A. Friday then will leave Saturday for the 7 day Mexico cruise.
