A Musical Day

We had a pleasant, somewhat musical day. In late morning we went down to Town Hall to hear the Al Kader Shrine Dance Band play oldies (mostly Glenn Miller type) for an hour. Before they started, we toured the arts and crafts fair where I bought a hanging dishtowel and admired many other things I neither need nor want .At… click here to continue

The Witches’ Curse

Just had a wonderful swim. When I first got in the pool, I thought I probably wouldn’t last for twenty minutes. However, the longer I stayed in, the better I felt. It had not been a good day.

A Quiet Weekend

We had a quiet weekend after the beach trip. Tonight we went out for a Chinese dinner at a favorite restaurant of Floyd’s just a few miles away. He and the waitress recognized each other from years ago. She has worked there for forty years, and says, “I’m married to this place.” When he told her his wife had… click here to continue
