okay, I’m a day late, live with it 😉

Here is the origin of this day. I think it’s worth the reading, and if anyone has a way to send the message, or at least the link to Mother Melania back in DC, feel free to do so. Extra points if you can send it to her in her native language. Use the link if the image disappears: https://elainemichele.com/portfolio/mothers-day-card-proclamation/

My week’s excitement included a drive south 179 miles with my gal pal, Mary, to see our friend Judith for couple days. Very boring drive down and back (best kind of a drive!), and a mahvelous visit with our friend. She’s moved into a retirement home, and we ate with her in the resident restaurant which was actually pretty good food, and it was ordered off a menu. 

The home she’s in is very nice, the apartments are large, the staff is very friendly, and the restaurant is open from 7:30am to 7:00pm, the residents can go in any time and order any meal, or just go to the salad bar, which looked very good!

Judith took us on a walk to a nearby park where we sat and enjoyed the morning. Then we walked back to the apartment and met many of her new friends. They’re all retired, friendly, and had great senses of humor. We also sat outside in the gazebo by the pond in the courtyard and caught up on 10-12 year’s worth of gossip and watched the new baby ducklings. 

Alas, the time was too short, but we hope to make the trip again—without waiting another 10-12 years.

This week’s favorite AI quote from Karma Files:
“No sense in explaining quantum physics to a hamster.”

I love you. I appreciate you. Have a marvelous 7-day!
