Going Nuts!

This gosh awful lack of reliable communicating is driving me nuts!  15 years and no problems and all of a sudden nothing works as it should.  Today my phone calls said “cannot be completed as dialed.”  Everyone’s phone isn’t a viable number?  Off to park under the tower to do what we needed!  I may be home sooner than planned.

A friend had her hip replaced and needed a companion to sit with her while her daughter took her father to the dementia doctor.  I volunteered and spent a few hours visiting with her.  The next day I played Yahtzee again with Sue and Kathy, the widow across the street who is starting to show signs of dementia.  We can help her decide how to play her dice throws and she can add her score which I find remarkable.  My corporal works of mercy for this week.   

Thursday was ladies’ breakfast again.  Sharon has been driving me and Marisa each week.  Marisa does not drive and with only one car here, I don’t have to coordinate availability with Ted.  He usually keeps Thursday morning free but so far our breakfast threesome has done fine.  There was quite a crowd today!    

There was no card bingo this week, it will be on Saturday.  Next week we have an invitation to a shooter pal’s home for a cook out and our field trip to Boca Chico is coming up.  The best part of leaving this immediate area is we can get our phone to download all kinds of things hanging out there in space!

Friday night was pizza at the Pizzeria again. Niles is taking chemo so when he says he wants something to eat, we all go along with it. 

Saturday we attended Mass again with Bill and Ornell. They are enjoying Fr. Roy!  We went to 492 BBQ, just awarded restaurant award for cleanest restaurant and best ribs, then played card bingo. Ted up once. me up once, Ornell twice - but no luck!

The excitement yesterday was a transformer blew right before the Bengals game!  It was hot so Ted started up the generator so we had AC and TV until it was fixed.  Do not mention #58 of the Bengals please!  What a way to lose a game!  

This morning I made a chocolate eclair cake for our cook out this afternoon over in Alamo. 

A couple are coming tomorrow from Brownsville to look at the motorhome tomorrow.  They said afternoon. I will go ahead and play mahjong and let Ted be the salesman!  

Cindy and Tim are leaving for Aruba on Wednesday but my Valentine to Karen arrived in time for them to take it to the home for her before leaving.  They have to hide it from her or she would eat it all at once. The nurses give her a piece at a time.
