Rain, Rain, go away.

We had rain most of last week, and very heavy rain over the whole weekend. So the intermittent sun was most welcome today. I know we have not quite reached our rain total for the year, but getting it all at once is not much fun!! When my husband wants to go to the mall, you know he is getting cabin fever!!! We had a date to go to our daughter's for our granddaughter's birthday party, but that too was put off as the flu bug hit their house!!! At the last weather report it is not going to be much better for most of this week and into the next weekend!! Yeek!!!!!!! Well did have a day of bingo(don't usually stay for the whole thing) and was quite lucky to win a few times. Also did my volunteering this morning. Found out that a friend there, fell and broke her hip, her surgery was today. Hoping she recovers quickly. My prayers are with her. This year has not been kind to the older seniors!!!! Antique Rose

Past few days~~~~~~~~

I had planned to write last Friday, but then the earthquake happened in Japan, and I just didn't feel like it. Everything seemed so insignificant in comparison. My heart goes out to all the people who lost loved ones, and who will suffer many years to come!!! I certainly hope that they don't have more with the threat of nuclear meltdown!! Thoughts and prayers be with them. My granddaughter and family are in Okinawa and they are alright, which I am very grateful!! Now for some happier notes. Last Friday I helped with the senior center's monthly birthday party. There is a man who helps me do certain tasks, he is very talented. He paints, writes poetry, stories, etc. He wrote a poem for me for my birthday in May. Really nice!! Never had a poem written just for me, so I felt very special. You just never know what talent people have!! Guess he has been writing for a long time. What really amazes me, he is almost blind, but never lets that stop him from doing things he wants to do!!! He let me read a story he wrote for his friends grandson's first birthday, it was quite good. No wonder, Grandma cried when she read it!!! Saturday I went to the local monthly flea. Found a pretty small tea set, a nice wood box, and some jewelry. There's an estate sale coming up this Friday, that I plan to go too, no telling what treasures I will find there!! The hunt is part of the fun, don't you think, and I meet the nicest people there as well. I walked everyday this week, thank goodness I am back on track there!! Now hopefully the weather will permit me to finish the week!! We have had rain in the forecast all week, but managed to get the walk in between the showers!!! Was to have gone to my daughters for granddaughters birthday party, but her sister has the flu, so it was postponed until the following weekend. Hope everyone is having a great week. Antique Rose
