Monday, April 29

I had so many things on my to do list Friday I forgot to go get my blood drawn.  no biggy....will do it Monday. I tried a new hairdresser and rather like her.  Will keep going for awhile and see if it works out.   I did my errands, bought some more petunias (they were out of purple so got magenta) and headed over to the home.  I had the dog groomed and had her cut in a "teddy bear cut".  She looks adorable and will enjoy the shorter hair during the warm weather.

Cowboy was having lunch and he did eat good.  I suggested we go plant the flowers.  He wasn't very interested and said he needed to go to the bathroom.  I took the things out to the yard and started, thinking he would show up but he didn't.  Doesn't take long to put half a dozen petunias in.  When I went in he was is in room watching TV.  What do suppose these guys did before TV?

Saturday I went to dulcimer practice, then to look for a pair of sandals.  My brown ones simply fell apart !  Bought some black slip ons and stopped by the grocery.  There is a neighborhood get together this evening and I needed something to take.  Settled on strawberries, blackberries, pineapple with a dip of cream cheese and marshmallow cream.  If you haven't tried this you should.  It is totally decadent.

The neighborhood party went well.  I was supposed to be a dealer for some blackjack but the the turnout was small and they didn't need me.  I was actually glad.  Been a while since I played and not sure I would have done well.

Went to the home yesterday.  Cowboy was lethargic and disinterested in everything.  We talked a little bit, watched TV and he looked at the comics.  I always take the paper with me and he looks at the comics.  I always stop and talk to the fellows when I am there and try to give them a hug when I can.  This one fellow who is in a wheelchair, whose name I cannot recall, was looking very forlorn.  I gave him and hug and asked him how he was doing.  He said "you are a sweet lady".  Little times like that are very touching.  I am getting to know a lot of the patients and with a couple of exceptions they are really sweet guys.

Ran down this morning and got my blood drawn, went to McDonalds and had an egg McMuffin, went to the bank and the WalMart and came home and did laundry and little tidy up chores.  Still have to make the bed. It is a big bed and it takes all I can muster to get it made. The mattress is huge and very heavy.   Have thought about getting something more manageable but probably won't.   It is a perfectly good bed.

Tomorrow some of the neighborhood ladies are going to visit the governor's mansion and have lunch.  A day out sounds good.
