We watched March Madness with Walker and family

 I spent the afternoon noon with Bess. I find art projects for my grandchildren at Barnes and Noble. Bess started the flower press one.

We have to spend two weeks before we take them out of the press. We explored the work room and found Easter decorations. She made an Easter tree and put it on the table in our front hall. Earlier we sat on our new dock. Joseph wanted to try out our row boat. This boat was Rick’s when he was growing up.

Right now I am sitting on a chair in the hall by the workout room. I just talked to my friend Gerry. She is gong to hit the tennis ball with her friend Rob. We talked about the book she wrote about her father. 🧓 

Last  night we watched Texas Tech play Florida. Florida won. It was an exciting ending. 

This morning we went to church. Paul gave a sermon about Hamlet. the gospel was about the Parodical  Son. He mentioned that a bit at the end. He flaked about several things nd I had trouble following it. He did not really tell the story of Hamlet but did use the famous quote: “ to be or not to be.”

I like to sit in the library room. Rick got perturbed when he could not find me.  He went to find Rob Jeronick. We met his friend on our last cruise in Florida.



Jeronnick.

The Cleaners are upstairs

 I hear the vacuum. I am sitting in our guest room. I see there car out the window. 

I am very dissatisfied with this iPad. It misses letters all the time. When I first woke up I wrote in my Storyworth. 

Rick and I have had a disagreement about the train excursion. Our daughter bought the tickets. rick did not want to go. He wanted to wait and see what Walker’s plans were. Catherine wrote a long complaining letter. Rick read it and said he will go. It helps me to look at Pictures so I know exactly where I am in life. 

Rick is going to buy Tucker a fishing rod for his birthday. He might be doing that right now. 

I am also trying to locate a pamphlet I found for helping children get ready for college. I want to give it to Eliza. 

Yulma’s sister is just leaving. They were here about one hour and 50 minutes. I hear someone closing the garage door. Today she had one young woman and one older woman helping her. They drive a Honda van. 

They might be eating their lunch. No, she is turning th large silver van around in the driveway. I am going to go upstairs and evaluate what they did. I pay them one hundred dollars per visit.

Astronauts will land soon

 I am sitting in front of the TV. The astronauts are in their suits with hand folded. They are returning home after a nine month delay. Parachutes deploy ahead of Spacex splashdown. The first mother is part of the crew. 

We are looking at pictures of clouds and parachutes.

They are slowly pushing the capsule to the boat that is waiting for the  capsule and crew. The news people are talking to each other. 

The waiting ship looks very complicated. The doctor will ask them questions about how they are feeling and what reentre into the atmosphere was like. Did anyone bump their head. 

What is it like to be away from family for so long? I tried to take picture.

Saint Patrick’s day

 I have been watching the NYC Saint Patrick’s day Parade for hours. Most of the people in NYC are Irish decent. They stay there. The children go to Catholic schools, high schools and colleges. The adults belong to societies that have ancestral heritages in the counties they are from. The marching bands, high school and colleges. They wear green clothes and twirl green flags. They wear Irish knit sweaters. 

This is an eye opening experience for me. The Catholic War Veterans had a sign. Homer would be proud.

Organizing my Blogger and my life

 Nadia is offering one of her writing classes for $43 dollars.

Should I take it? Part of me wants to, part of me says it is too much.

They are showing pictures of Dianna Ross on TV. I thought she died. I get confused when I see too much TV. There are too many pictures to remember. They are imprinted on my mind.

Now it is Jimmy Fallon. I thought he had quit. I do not know who some of the entertainers are. Now they showed a bus that smashed into home I drive past all the time. 

They are going to increase the cost of having your trash collected in Cville. We pay our own.

It is suppose to rain and snow this afternoon.

We are going to pick up David and take him to his Birthday dinner at Vavacci. We are also going to pick up Tucker and drop him off at BHSC for tennis. 

Today is Ash Wednesday and we should go to church and receive ashes. I think I will turn on the Catholic Channel

Jenna bush is with a group of teachers who ate collecting books for poor kids. We have a group that does that here. I should be part of that group. 

Rick keeps talking about Savannah looking bad. I think she is just aging.

Went to the dentist

 This morning Rick drove me to Dr. Krese’s office for a cleaning. It is a very depressing experience since you sit in the chair lying on your  back and the dentist pokes around in your mouth. It is very uncomfortable. 

Now I Amat the BHSC above the basketball. Court, at one of the long white tables. I hear kids below doing the climbing wall. Rick is above me in the exercise room on the bike. I walked for ten minutes on the walking machine and also did several of the machines before I came down stairs. The man sitting on the chairs is watching tennis. Women’s UVA team are number One in the nation.

I checked the schedule on the internet. They will play here at the end of the March.

We are going to eat lunch

 We had an interesting morning. We drew pictures of when we were five. I remember taking care of my younger siblings. And receiving a yellow sweater from Mrs. Davaney. It had small Pearles on it. It was the first real gift I ever received. 

I remember jumping rope. I am having trouble with this iPad. Right now I am In the dinning hall. It is difficult to work with. 

I will drive home with Virginia Josey. 

We had a communion service. I am impressed with Amanda. She does everything  and more. I do not like putting all the material around. They put up tables. And we sat around the table. I took some pictures. 

Serious problem with jeep

 Rick just came back from Ivy. The problem with. Y car is more serious than we thought. We will wait and see for now.

I go to Woman’s retreat today at 2pm.

Virginia Hosey is going to drive. We will meet her at church. 

I woke up and sat in the jacuzzi. It was cold. I feel bad since Rick had cleaned it and turned on the heater yesterday so I could sit it last night

We watched TV. 

President Trump is shaking up the news. He appointed Elon Musk as head of DOGE.

Department of Government Efficiency.

Rick went up to take a nap. I am partially pack for today.

I have four

 art projects started.

I am knitting a blanket for Gus.

I am crocheting a scarf for me.

I am painting a picture of a flower and have a picture of the mountains waiting. 

I am sitting on my sofa.

I need to write Virginia Hosey a letter.

Later in the day

I am at Roslyn Center. Virginia Drove, 

Anne also came. I am in my room. I took a short nap and now need to go to the first meeting.

I will take my iPad and writing tablet and see what tomorrows


 I will  is going to happen next. We eat at 6 pm. 

jeep is at Ivy

 A light kept going on in my car and yesterday when I was taking Tucker home from tennis we kept hearing a bell, a bong. 

After stopping at Ivy gas station I kept driving to Walker’s house and eventually got home. This morning Rick too the Jeep to Ivy Gas Station. Scott the owner said he will look at it.

Rick will take me to church tomorrow so I can attend the Woman’s retreat.
