Wrong holiday

Just a quick note. Seems I had the wrong holiday in mind yesterday. It is presidents day, not Veterans day!!! How is that for a a senior moment!!!! Well all the men of the service present and past should be thanked for all the do more than just one day of the year!!!! Antique Rose

Happenings of late

Had a lovely Antique meeting last Tuesday, the food was great, and the decorations funny and pretty as well. It was our club's 48th birthday and two of the original members still attend!!! We had a variety of salads and deviled eggs, plus rolls . I enjoyed the company of the ladies of the club. We have a really good group!! Oh, yes and a lovely birthday cake, yum!! Had a very busy week at the senior center!!! I was happy to see the weekend, the crab feed was Friday night as well, and low and behold I won one of the baskets!!! Yippee!!! Filled with writing supplies, candy, and a book written by the members of the creative writing club!!! I know some of the members and I loved reading their poems and stories. There were other items and I will enjoy using them. We had a sad occasion today. My husband's Aunt Anne died last week and her memorial was today. She will be missed. Sad that we only get together on such occasions. Used to be at weddings, now we are all getting older, I am afraid it will be just goodbyes! It was nice seeing all the relatives that we don't see often. Perhaps there will be a another family get together like we had a few years ago. That was fun. Well, tomorrow is another holiday. Thanks to all our men of service. Thanks to all living and gone, but not forgotten!! Antique Rose

Getting back in the groove.

Well, we've had some beautiful days lately. Not too cold and not too warm, but we need lots more rain!!! We've had a couple of rainy days, but I do not want to have a drought, so hopefully there will be a lot more before the rainy season ends. Which will be here before you can turn around, the days seem to go more quickly every year!! I have been volunteering more and more, but there is always more to do!!! I am walking again, thank goodness, it was hard after not walking my normal amount for some time!!! I did not feel comfortable in my jeans, so that will help take care of that problem!!!! My mother in law just celebrated her 94Th, and my youngest son, his 49Th!!!! Soon there will be other birthdays, how could everyone around me be getting old, for the most part, I do not feel old, but I know there is an older woman looking back at me in the mirror!!!! Recently went to see my granddaughter play her violin in a concert. We enjoyed it very much, and then had dinner out with daughter and family, their treat!!! Had dinner for the son, grandson, and granddaughter last evening, life goes on. My hubby surprised me with a new camera(red) for Valentine's Day, and as usual gave it to me before the "day". :-)

I used it for the first time on my walk, it has a longer zoom, so should be able to take more of my animals without having to be too close. Soon the new ducklings will be out, and I hope to get great pictures!!!! Having my Antique club meeting next week, and I am one of the hostesses, a birthday/valentine theme. Should be fun and food tasty!!Until next time~~~Antique Rose
