A nice couple of days!

On Sunday, we had five friends over for dinner after church. There really was no better way to soend a rainy Sunday afternoon. With four of us celebrating May birthdays, we had a great time doing what us older folk do - drinking, eating, talking, and drinking! Then we ended the day by going over to one of my daughter's houses and having another birthday cake there. All in all, a fine day.

Tonight, when we brought my grandson to a movie that involved a high school wrestler, the proprietor of the theater let him in for free since he is a high school wrestler. What a wonderful thing to do! However, he stopped short at giving a fifteen year old boy free food! I have no idea what that was all about!

So, a good couple of days as we our way to Wednesday and our next visit to the eye doctor. Of course, this is followed by a visit to my dentist as well. Talk about racking up the medical deductions for next year's income tax!

My mother called from her rehab center to wish me a happy birthday as well. She is doing great. She goes on Thursday to have the staples removed from her surgery and will most likely go home sometyime next week. For eighty eight, she bounces back well from situations like this.

Preparation for Wednesday is preceeded by Tuesday on which nothing happens other than the third of my four photography classes at night. I had been making plans to wash our windows sometime this week but it is supposed to rain every day until Saturday. It is so cold and raint right now that you would thing that it's November!

Oh well, there is no use in complaining about it. Just grin:) and bear it...
