After a quiet week between birthdays, things picked up. We chose to eat at home after church on Saturday because a whole week of eating was staring me in the face. We were humbled by the amount of cards and good wishes we received for our birthdays
Sunday we went to Perry’s with Irene and John. We had a very nice dinner and such good company. Monday I had a breather from eating out but on Tuesday I had lunch while playing cards with about 25-30 ladies. I went from first to last over one hand!
That evening we had more cards for couples along with dinner at the country club. I am not crazy about their food and they didn’t disappoint me. I should be like Ted and just get a burger! Again, I went from first to last with one hand. Maddening!
Our errand for Wednesday was to drive the motorhome to Holiday World in Willis to have the fabric of our slider topper replaced. It was stretched from wind and was bowing so it holds water instead of it running off. When I bring in that long slide after a rain, the water runs down on Ted in the driver’s seat. It should be ready by Friday
I attended Continental Breakfast on Thursday. It is a breakfast buffet held at Newcomers members’ homes and is a great time to visit without an agenda. I saw so many friends I have had little contact with over the last 1.5 years due to the pandemic. Being gone 6 months out of the year doesn’t help either. There was a good crowd, nice food and a beautiful house to drool over.
Just to be sure I don’t waste away, Friday was a CWJF Sustainer lunch. There were about 15 of us, three of whom I served in Forum with through my “work” years. The leader of the Sustainers is a wonderful lady I only met through this group previously and the others I will get to know better. It was a delight! I came away so pumped about their future plans and was so glad I went.
I thought we were going to pick up the coach but when they removed the topper fabric they said the rubber seals around the slide need to be replaced. So they will have it ready on Monday, we hope (!). They are keeping it indoors and plugged in for the duration. We had to spend $3000 to replace a smaller slide floor on our last 5th wheel so better safe than sorry!
I wonder if Casa Medina misses us yet. We have been there once or twice in the past 7 months. Saturday we went to Joe’s Italian. We did not renew our community theater tickets so our visits to Joe’s aren’t happening. I brought enough home for Sunday lunch.
Monday I ventured to a new restaurant to play Rummicube. I had played it twice last year in Mission but I sat at the training table and we all did pretty well. Most of it came back to me so I had a bit of an advantage. We did not keep score so nobody won.
Our motorhome was ready Tuesday morning so I was up, showered, dressed and on my way to Willis. Everything appeared ok so we closed it up and brought it home, but not not before Ted topped off the fuel we used between Carthage and home in August. Thank you, DC, for these skyrocketing fuel prices. Lots of under $400,000 earners affected by this non-tax. Don’t get me started on food! Inflation is a tax that affects everyone.
By 10:45 I was at a restaurant ready to play cards, and I won. I think it is only the third time I have ever won at this game called 3-13! Fun game!
Not to waste any time sleeping on Wednesday morning, I had to be at the Hand Me Up Shop to be picked up by Priscilla. We were on our way to the Forum offices to be assigned our vintage clothing fashion show garments. She will be a flapper in a red fringed dress and I will represent the Houston rodeo in a teal suede ensemble. What you wear depends on what fits! Those size 2, 4, 6 and go wanting. The girls who fit in them usually have to wear two different outfits. I have the cowboy boots and hat, turquoise jewelry and silver belt to finish out my “look.” She asked me if I wanted to be Barbara Bush until we looked and it was 16W! Uh … I don’t think that would work!
I have a free day tomorrow. Friday our Forum general meeting will be outside at a park in deference to covid. Then in the afternoon is my “six month late” mammogram. Once I get through that I am down to GYN, PCP, and eye doctor. It takes us all Fall to get all the appointments in we have to do.
CeCe celebrated her second birthday a week late due to Aunt Kara’s family being under the weather.
