I interrupted my sleep noisily last night by knocking over the old bedside lamp, breaking it... So I picked up a new one later at WalMart, and got 2 for myself, and a pair of sweatpants.
I connected with my old co-worker and wallyball player Keith and went to meet him at 11:45am, after stopping to pick up a tuna sandwich to share at Subway 2 blocks from his residence. We know so many people from our many years of friendship that we are never at a loss for words. Keith is still a great inspiration for his cheerful attitude in spite of severe physical challenges and we have a lot of laughs.
From there I went to visit my older brother Fern and his wife Eileen and again had many trips down memory lane, especially when we dug through a box containing stuff from our Mom. I reinherited a large remembrance album that I myself had put together for Mom's 95th Birthday. A person relishes these opportunities to visit family and reminisce. I am sorry that I never got a picture of their dog, 15-year-old Maggie who is so sweet and quiet.
I came back to Russ and Angie's and we enjoyed the spring sunshine on the front deck for a bit with the dogs and cats. I even video WhatsApp'ed with Cristina so she could see the dogs and to watch Russ feed the geese across the street. Russ was in shorts and a short-sleeved t-shirt.
Cristina says the lake is back there with heavy rains.
I am really enjoying the interaction with Russ and Angie's 4 dogs and 3 cats.
We had a steak supper with Caesar salad and that hit the spot while we watched curling (Canada lost to Sweden) and IIHF women's hockey, France losing to Hungary...
So tonight will be a restful night to store energy for a very busy day tomorrow..
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
