rick turns 81 tomorrow

 He just went to the BHSC to exercise. He is having back problems. He went to the doctor yesterday. She was a Physician’s assistant. she did not help much. We both sat in the jacuzzi this morning.  Next, we ate breakfast. Rick cooked sausage, bacon and an egg on a bun. He used some of the Monastery cheese. 

I am reading a book, “Painless writing.”

I want my writing to be clearer and grammatically correct. Right now ow I am sitting on the sofa. I sit here often. I still have my night gown on. I have three but I wear this one the most.

I looked at Linda Abby’s web page. She is an artist friend. I went to her reception Thursday night at Greencroft. She had 17 paintings of Italy. She teaches a class about painting loose. 

Home from a visit with Marty and Dick Wilson

 We drove three hours each way to Kilmarnock. They live in a cottage in Westminster Canterbury. They've a cottage. marty is in health care. We took them to lunch at the Office, a restaurant close by. i ate a salad which was delicious. Rick ate fried shrimp. He gave me several pieces. We talked about family.

Marty had a flowered blouse  on that she told us she bought at TJ Max.

I did not have my hearing aid on and tried to listen intently. They both seem satisfied with there situation. Marty had a brace on her arm. They both used walkers. 

We are at Skyland

 I am sitting by the picture window, I ate the sandwich I bought at Yoders. It was delicious but I left a bit for later. I am dressed in the beige sweater I bought at Twice is Nice. It is a bit big. Rick does not like it. I am looking at the rock formation in front of me. The rocks are covered with moss. There are sprouts of green and ferns in between  the moss. The trees are grey  but they are covered with moss. I wish I knew the names of the   trees,  I will look it up. I looked up trees but could not distinguish one from the other. Eliza told me wants to take Environmental Science next year.  I wonder why Rick is taking so long. I took a short nap on the sofa and also bought a chocolate muffin. What is the difference between a muffin and a cupcake? The only thing I have not done is draw although I did paint

part of a bird. 

I am home from the Dentist

 Bess will spend the night so will their dog Louie. Rick just scolded me because I left the light on downstairs. The rain has stopped. We had a loud thunderstorm today. I made an appointment for March. Amy cleaned my teeth. Dr. Whynot checked them. A y told me to us sensadine tooth paste. On the way home I stopped at Twice Is Nice and bought two shirts to take to Iceland. 

I stillhear thunder but it in the distance. 

I picked some of our flowers this morning. This morning I was reading a diary from 1996. We traveled to California to a law meeting and then toured California and Navada. I ate cheese and crackers for lunch. I hope I have enough food for Bess. Walker is going to bring  Louie here at 4pm. 

The rain has stopped. I learned that you create VOICE in writing by using the word I

i this, I that. 

i had the TV on bought did not want to listen to and hear depressing news. The prominent story is about the flood in Texas. 

Anne marie and Hank are here

They went to church. i think they go every day. 

It is Saturday morning. They ate gone.  Went to ST. thomas Aquinas Church with them. We attended the 8:30 mass. Therewere five priests on the altar.

We sat in the front. I should read the lesson for today. I’m could not hear the serman e even though I had my hearing aid in. We walked arond the feont of the church. hank found a small area were small children could play. He talked about setting one up in their church. I told him I had books I would give him so we came to the house and i found some religious books and other books I gave him. 

We met rick for breakfast at Crepes. Rick and I shared. We talked a lot and then they were on the road and we came home.

I am very tired. I tried to nap. I want to meet Eliza soon. I want to take her to the Crozet parade but she does not want to go. 

Tucker is going to Philadelphia with his young church group for a few days.
