WOW.............WOW!!!!! What a grand day it has been down here!!!! The morning was gorgeous....clear, blue skies, and warm. I sat in the sun and had my morning French Roast......from freshly ground coffee beans. Then I ate an entire LARGE red grapefruit that I picked off of our tree last night.........just the best grapefruit I believe I have ever eaten!! Now....all I need is some fresh seafood.......and that will be a bit later in the week when we run over to the Gulf for a seafood dinner......we are only about 30 miles(at the most) to the west of the Gulf of Mexico.
The 1st Lady went to a Line Dance Class this morning....and came back exhausted. Said she used some muscles that she hadn't used for a LONG time. I had puttered around TheHowserHouse doing some cleaning, re-arranging the basement storage area, and taking a fast bike ride around our neighborhood blocks.
Had a call from my sister and we discussed the possible outcomes of the "testing" that the dr. mentioned yesterday. We both are on the same page.......we think it is not the best thing for a 93 year old lady to be subjected to a round of tests with possible outcomes that might not be beneficial for her. Sooo.....we decided that we would not go through with any suggested testing....should he push for that.
The 1st Lady returned.....panting....both from dancing for an hour and from the bike ride over to the Clubhouse. During the time she was gone, I had talked with our neighbors across the street from Oklahoma.....and then met a couple from Jefferson City who knew my aunt who lives there. Then another couple came by who were from Sikeston.......and another lady who was from Nevada, MO. LOTs.....MUCHO Missourians are here at Llano Grande.....and who knows just how many are here in the Valley!!!!!???
We had a quick lunch and then headed to the Library where we met some others (one was from Moberly, MO) to spend a couple of hours playing Canasta. I had forgotten soooo much, but after about 20 minutes it began to return from the shadows of my memories and, I really enjoyed playing once again... a game I learned as a child.
Returning to our home on wheels, we spent some time visiting with the Okie neighbors....and enjoyed their hospitality in their house on wheels for a nice visit. We are all going to the Club tomorrow evening for a Casino Night.
Dinner was some items that were left over and taking a bit of room in our fridge, along with my dark red medicine. NOT TO WORRY.......I have NOT missed taking any of my doses of this medicinal elixir........I don't want to upset my sensitive 63 year old body!!!!
After dinner.....we took a sunset walk around the neighborhood. Stopping at the grapefruit and orange groves......we picked some more red grapefruit, put them in my backpack, and continued on around the neighborhood. We are thinking more and more seriously about making our reservations for 2-3 months at this beautiful rv resort for next winter. EVERYONE is soooo damn friendly........no matter whether I am walking, riding my bike, or in the truck......anyone that you meet doing the same waves and speaks!! Sure friendlier than our own stick and brick neighborhood where only the people we know speak or wave......
It is 9:30pm....and still 63 degrees.....sure can't beat that for January 10th!
And so.......how can I say anything BUT.....
Life IS GREAT......and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (check morning pic below)
