Last Saturday I skipped dulcimer jam and went over to see Cowboy. Am trying this twice a week schedule to see how he does with it. He greeted me and was happy to see me. No mention that it had been a bit longer. He was feeling pretty chipper.
We went out and surveyed the flowers. The zinnias look terrible but everything else looks great. I am beginning to think it is the lack of full sun. The area in the back of the facility is very green and shaded and has lots of squirrels and birds and such. Very pleasant if it weren't so hot.
We had lunch and visited and watched some TV and I visited with some of the wives that were there. It seems I managed to miss the support group meeting this month. Got no notification. There has to be a better way.
On Sunday I spent time with the paper, washed the sheets and other laundry and did a lot of reading. I did get out and take a long walk again this morning. Have to figure out a way to do that most every day.
On Monday I went for a follow up on the hearing aids. I am doing well and they definitely help so have decided to keep them. (What's a couple of grand? ha ha) I also met with a pianist to practice for a gig we are doing on Thursday at one of the local dementia day care locations. We refreshed ourselves on some things we have done before. I really like having the keyboard that we can carry in and use. It sounds really good and the pianist is very creative in using the different settings. Then we are doing a gig on Sunday for a neighbor who is having a cocktail party for a 75 years lady's birthday. Should be kind of cool.
I went to see Cowboy today. Didn't get up early enough to take a long walk but did go around the block and had a good breakfast at home and then headed over. We watched TV and had lunch. Cowboy didn't want to go outside and I didn't push it. It is nearly 100 degrees and I worry about his ability to cool himself.
I came home and worked on catching up on a few "piles" of mail, etc. and called and arranged to have someone give me a quote on a cover for the rest of the patio. Need shade to really enjoy being out there.
They came this afternoon and am waiting for the quote.
I got a call this morning from the mechanic and they have located parts for the Maserati. Should have the work done this week. hurray ! Then I have will that thing cleaned up and deodorized and then talk to a body person.
It 's kind of an interesting journey. This car was a joint project between Maserati and Chrysler and between Iacocca and the fellow who owned Maserati at the time. Both company's were struggling to survive and were trying to come up with ideas. Apparently, they cooked up a plan that Chrysler would sell this vehicle after Maserati built it and shipped it to the USA for sale. Problem was, it was so expensive no one would buy them and only a few were sold. I have this rather unique automobile that may be valuable and may be worthless, who knows? Isn't quite a success story that Iacoca had with the Mustang. Good news is if I can get it road worthy I can enjoy driving around in it. Cowboy had a Italian sports car when I met him (a Fiat spider) so would be so cool to take it over and take him for a drive. Bottom line, it is a very good distraction from brooding about the side of my life that I have no control over.
