Almost October Already!!

Hello Again...If you'll recall, the last post lamented that my computer was wonky....well...it surely was and Dian came over and got it right again,,Bless her heart!!  I had added a slew of programs I did not even know about...but all is well now..

I went in for the tests I was supposed to have....first was an echo which showed a small amount of fluid where it shouldn't be as well as a little bit of calcification...which my doctor assures me is controlled by the meds I am taking.  The other was for a carotid (sp?) artery "look-see" which showed about the same thing..so I guess I am good for the  foreseeable future..that's good news!!  A bunch of us decided to try a burger place nearby for dinner ... turned out to be a tavern named "Local 907" and it was comedy night...but someone forgot to tell the comedians.....it definitely was not the place for us - but the food was decent and we had a good time in spite of the bad comedy.

On Saturday afternoon I went to a Sweet Adeline show in Auburn....I had not been to one in a few years.  It was fun to see a lot of people I knew...the problem was that they too had aged - and for some reason I was surprised!!!  It was hard to recognize some of them...we would stand and stare at each other and try to remember the names...when we finally did, it was hugs and laughter...We went to dinner at a Greek/Italian restaurant in Auburn....I chose the Greek 'cause I hadn't had Greek food for ages...now I know why,,,not a fan!!   The chorus putting on the show was celebrating 50 years as a Sweet Adeline chorus...and one of their founding members was celebrating 60 years as a Sweet Adeline....she is now 95 years old and still sharp as a tack.   All in all it was a lot of fun,,,I still miss singing the comradity  (?) of being a Sweet Adeline!!

Oh oh....a fire truck just rolled in....not a good sign...no ambulance yet, so maybe all is well....

Spent some good time with son Steve last week...I wish I had more time with him.  He and Sherrie are on the way to Hawaii as I write.   So jealous!  Happy for them!!!

So...tomorrow is the end of September....The fish are in the river...they are bright red now with ugly green snouts...they have trouble swimming up the river...It is fun to watch them....

The ambulance has arrived - usually it is Medic One with another ambulance to follow if the patient isn't critical....sometimes they all come and go away empty handed....lets hope that is the situation now.

Enjoy October....out weather has been wonderful...hope it continues...
