A confusing day

What a day as confusing as it is. I got up at 7:00 am and took a shower ready to go to Nurse Briana for a complete body check to check for any thing that might be the start of cancer. Several places on face, arms and hands were treated with frozen spray.

Ethel stayed home as Empire was to come and install ceramic tile on the entry patio. Well they came and informed her they couldn't do it on a open patio.
I called to cancel the order and they informed me that they could do it with a different kind of tile.
Now I am waiting to see what they have to offer.
This was already approved by the HOA.

Then today being our Rummy-Q day to play, we forgot all about it and it was to be FREE pizza.
Yesterday we were given the run around as we wanted to put a lockable mail box near our front door, First as far as the HOA is concerned it is OK. We showed the mailman and he said OK if approved by the post office. We went to the Post Office and they sent us to the mail carriers near the Fire Department. I had to write a letter telling why I need it and they will inform me if it can be done. I used my walker doing this so they canceled one step for me to go to another place. Now I am waiting to see if this will be approved.

Yes it was a confusing day.

First Blog for June 2016

I have to start doing Blogs again. Lovely was here last week and helped me with "My Life Story".
I am so grateful that she did this. Lovely returned to Taiwan and she is having my story printed in Taiwan and Alan and Abby will bring the printed copies when they come in July. I see that they are so busy after her return to Taiwan even though they still have time to get my story completed. I never would have been able to do this on my own. THANKS YOU GUYS.
The weather here has been great even the outside is 91 degrees outside and 73 degrees inside. This week end it is to get over 100 degrees outside. We don't have to use the A.C. yet and I hope we will not have to use it. Yesterday we went to our card group and there was ten of us, everyone in our group were present. Today Gerry called and cancelled cards for tomorrow as Ellen fell and is in the hospital. Cards are cancelled for Monday also because of the hot weather. Tuesday June 21 I am scheduled for my second Epidural shot for my back and leg pain.
This is Lovely at the RBCPC resale shop. Located on Poway Road. All proceeds are for the missions.

Mothers Day

It's been a month since I blogged. This morning we went to Church and came home for 1/2 hour then we went for lunch at "The Olive Garden" Was very good and had the left overs tonight. Last week we made a batch of chocolate chip cookies and they really turned out very good. We should NOT make cookies too often. Alan tried to SKYPE me before Church but I didn't get it so he tried again this afternoon and we had a good talk. This morning Alden called and updated me on their activities. This evening I received a "Happy Mothers Day" from Albert. It is so nice to hear from all the boys.
I have been working on "My Life Story" I hope to get it finished when Lovely or Alan can can help edit etc. It is quite a story.

Talk to Elaine and Betty

Today has been a slow day so I called Elaine Hecker and Betty Routt. Elaine moved to a assisted living apartment in Minneapolis. She is doing well but still having hearing problems. Betty had some falls and knee replacement and dealing with diabetes her husband has Alzheimer's.  Elaine told me that Betty's son is living with them not working and has his friend also living with them and they are gay. I would like to see Betty as she gets lonesome.
I went to the doctor and am scheduled for a MRI, then to Pain Management and probably treat with Epidural. This is to treat my sciatic pain.  

Day after Easter 2016

Easter Sunday we attended the 8:30 am service. It was a beautiful service, pastor Dr. Neal Nybo gave the message about the Easter story. The Sanctuary Orchestra and the Choir preformed great music.
The Church was packed which is usual for Easter.
After the service we went home for a little rest and about 11:30 am we went to "Out Back" for a 12:00 reservation. The food was great but way too much for us to eat so of course we had to ask for a container to go which we finished Sunday night. Of course we had Shrimp which we both like.
This morning we went to our ceramics class. There was a lady from China who has just moved into 7-Oaks and she wants to join the ceramics class to associate and learn the English language better. She speaks the Mandarin language.
At noon today we will be going over to Diane's for pot luck lunch. Going to be good.

St. Patrick's Day

We had a great day at Prime Time Fashion Show from the RBCPC Resale Shops. Oh what beautiful outfits. There were 24 tables with 6 per table, mostly ladies. We had 7 of our friends at our table

I was so thrilled when I spotted one of our friends which we have missed for about 1 & 1/2 years. Her name is Dorothy and she informed me that her husband Mac passed away and she has not gotten out much. She was so glad that I invited her to our table. Then there was other ladies from our ceramics group at our table.

Lois gave a great talk on St Patrick how he started a great mission in Ireland. Followed with prayer.

Then there was a Ham Buffet following.

Both Ethel and I purchased a jacket from the Resale Shop.

Back from SLO

On February 24th Ethel and I left the house at 10:00 am to drive down to Alden's then Alden took us to the Santa Fe Depot where we boarded the Amtrak which left at noon to go to San Luis Obispo. It was a great trip with many 2 or 3 minute stops. We arrived at San Luis Obispo at 8:15 pm. We were greeted by Moreene and Bob Allen and transported to their beautiful home. The bed was very welcomed as we were very tired. The next day we went down to the beach which was about 1 mile from their home. They were great hosts and drove us to so many places. We went to Morro Bay and had lunch there, we went to see the Monach butter flys at Pismo Beach. Saturday Feb. 27 we went to the pancake breakfast then we  were introduced to Mareene and Bob's daughter and family. They live on a large ranch with horses and dogs. Then we went to the wine country and had wine tasting and lunch. Toured a sculpture park then on our way home we stopped at Madonna Inn, what a beautiful place.

Sunday morning we were awakened up at 5:00 am to get ready to return home to San Diego as the train left SLO at 6:50 am. We had several delays to wait for other trains etc. We arrived at the Santa Fe Depot at 4:00 pm which was 45 min. behind schedule. Josh greeted us and helped with luggage while Alden drove around. Alden and Josh drove us up to our home and McKenna came later, then we went to Denny's for dinner and they went back home from Denny's and we went home as we were very tired by that time. Here are a few pictures of our travels.
