Turning 70 is actually a great deal of fun. My friends, Barb and Frank had a birthday party for me and it was just fun, fun, fun. Sisters, friends – even an ex-husband! Plus my granddaughter and her boyfriend! However, two of the most important people in my life were missing. Unfortunately, sometimes, life just keeps moving. So, there was this big, big bouquet of balloons, outrageously great food, cake, an unbelievably great chocolate cheesecake, a lot of wine and great fun! Trust me, I am one lucky, lucky girl (well, an old girl, perhaps, but a girl indeed!)
I received enough money to purchase a 40-42 inch flat screen tv, so that is my next project (aside from installing window treatments, painting and getting my little porch useable.
I have tried and tried to insert photos of my new apartment, but it just does not work. It seemed so simple – click on the icon and go. However, when it opens it is only computer language – no photo. I will keep trying, however.
Publix seems to be a very pleasant place to work, but I think they are trying me by fire, as I have had only long shifts and had to be on the express lane on Sunday – busy, busy, busy!!! However, they forgot they can’t get me – “I’m the gingerbread man!”. Perhaps, by the time the snowbirds return home, I will once again have time to schedule some regular golf!
Saturday, I went to a party up at Briarpatch, where Mike and I lived until he died, and they were all still very pleasant.
It’s a different life, doing this all alone (except for Gina – and it was much more fun when Mike was here. He would have liked this location a lot!), but I guess it will get easier and, perhaps, become a pleasant life! I will definitely let you know. Thanks for checking in. Ricci
