My grandson Billy was going to come Monday to put my stationary bike together. But couldn't make it. My daughter Shelley came by and did it and it didn't take much time. I was so impressed at how fast she did it! I think it is her skills in putting medical equipment together which made her so comfortable in doing this! Then I told her I got a digital frame for myself to just put my art on. For some reason, I couldn't figure out how to put it on a thumb drive that came with it. She figured it out and showed me. So now I'm ready to upload all my art. I think this is such a good idea! I put a little bit of it on. Hopefully I get this done in the not too distant future.
We had some thunder, lightening and rain this week as we had also last week. It is strange for us because rarely do we have weather like this in summer. It has been quite humid which isn't typical here. Usually it is a dry heat which is easier to take than with humidity. It is already becoming drier.
This weekend, two of my friends who I used to work with, Annemarie and Lynette came for one night. We went to Mama Roomba because I used to rave about this place when I went to work that they wanted to try it out. They took the train rather than drive the two hour trip up and back which worked out well. That was Lynette's first time on the train. Most of the trip was okay except for a woman who seemed homeless with her toddler seemed to stick by Lynette. Annemarie caught the same train not quite an hour after Lynette got on. Lynette brought cheese ands crackers and her husband Simon sent a very nice red wine along with Lynette. What a treat! I went to Trader Joe's and picked up bagels, cream cheese, lox, tomatoes, sweet onion and capers for breakfast. I also got orange juice and a good champagne to have Mimosas. Annemarie brought a chocolate cream mouse, very rich and delicious. So I'm sure you have noticed here as well as my other posts, I really talk about food. Yes I do. If it is tasty, it is really a treat and I love to socialize around eating. I know that some people don't think that is a good idea, but I have fond memories of eating and talking around the dinner table. That was always a special time for me.
I have a friend Victor who is writing a book. We met this week at Chef's Choice Noodle Bar where he gave me the first 30 pages of his book. I have read half of it and I need to go over it again. He has a nice readable style. So we are thinking we would get together every 3rd or 4th week with a new chapter to go over. I think this could be a very good book!
I was supposed to go to a Helping One Woman's dinner, but, I started nodding off in the living room about an hour before going. Since this has been happening fairly frequently, I didn't think I could stay awake and I was worried driving for one and a half hours. This is the first dinner I have missed since joining this group. I'm sorry I missed it, but I was really worried about the drive.
I had a great class with Carol Bradshaw. What we did was each work on painting a day lily. This was very helpful. I would watch her and do my strokes right afterwards. I have not finished it and will post it next week. I don't have a class this Tuesday which was an excuse not to rush on this.
So this was a relatively slow week and I think I needed that. I need to work in more rest to do the bigger things. I have a few things going on next week and expect that to enjoy the bigger event, I will need to rest up more before I go. I really hope you have a great week. I will see you next Sunday, though it may be in the evening since I will have a rather long drive back. Rachel
