At the BHSC

 Right now I am sitting in the Market Restaurant drinking a chai drink a looking at the large black girl behind the counter. She told me her name but I forget. Two men at the other table are talking in loud voices. One looks foreign. The Olympics are over. It was fun watching all the young spectacular athletes. 

Last evening we watched a famous movie, Miracle on Ice. It is about a high school group from Minnesota who beat the professional Russians in the next to last round. This is a true story and it was made into a movie in 2004. I read about it on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is on the internet and has replaced Encyclopedia. I wonder if Encyclopedia is still published.

Reading about Cruise

 Our next cruise starts March 1, I have been reading what we will do. Most of the activities center around Beluxie, Mississippi. We will see Jefferson Davis House and a museum with lots of Georgia O’keefe.

I bought a watercolor sketch book to get started.

Last night we went to Shenandoah park trust meeting at the hotel in down Town Cville. The party was on the seventh floor of the hotel. The restaurant and bar had beautiful views of Main Street Cville. We ate smash burgers and had a talk and movie about the park. Rick said it cost three hundred dollars to attend. It was a fund raiser. There were at least 200 people there. He talked to Emily Childs. I talked to the ranger who gave the talk. She talked in her presentation lots about the back country and what anyone should bring. She was part of the rescue team.

 Anna who we know from many events introduced everyone. I learned a lot and brought home a brochure. I want to tell Eliza and Catherine about the programs they have for youth. 

I will continue this latter. I want to do my crocheting. I am crochet a hat. It is about half way done.

The news is still about Savannah Guthrie and also the ICE-officers  wearing masks and beating up people,

I read about Georgie O Keene which made me want to paint. She went to Art school and also taught art school 

Center one

 I am sitting in my Jeep parked in a handicapped parking space in front of Center1. Albemarle County schools have a rented space here. I brought Eliza and two friends here for a meeting about the Environment for a class she is taking. We met at Grit. Eliza and I bought a chair cold latte. The business here is Pratt Whitney. I looked it up on the Internet. They build airplane engines all over the country. I need to go to the bathroom. The girl in the car beside me is eating her boxed lunch.Another woman is checking her phone. Another man is just wondering around. I want to learn more about chat Bo’s and AI.

I go to see Dr. Nanda soon

 I have an appointment at 3pm. I am reading a book at church I found about religion. All religions. Justin just called and I am to pick up a replacement hearing aid at Costco at 11:30 on Thursday. 

On Valentine Day, we take Eliza to dinner at restoration in Crozet. It is part of the Country Club. I found a magazine upstairs in Rick’s office called Breathe, Well Being. I want it to be part of my life. A young girl is writing in her journal, doing crossed legged yoga and drinking tea. She is surrounded by flowers and  bird. We have a dead goose by our dock. A large black bird has been eating it. 

I am crocheting something round. It will probably be a hat. I do not know how to crochet a granny square but that is one of my goals to learn. 

We had a wonderful Sunday. After church we went to a concert at the Senior Center and then to see the Superbowel at Walker’s house. This next few weeks we will watch the olympics.

Met Eliza for morning tea

 The best part of today was having tea, and steamed milk with Eliza. We picked her up at home. Tomorrow she goes to Washington with one of her after school groups and learns about the U tied Nations. I gave her $350 to give to the teacher to pay for the event and also extra money for snacks.

We sat at a new coffee shop in Crozet, Praha. The sign out front says Bohemian.  Rick was with us. He decided at the last minute to come. We got to talk with her and learn about some of her classes and the school trip. We took her to school, Western, which started late. We came home and I rested. I ate leftover chicken wings and thighs for lunch. Right now I am on the sofa. I went to BHSC with Rick to exercise. I do the machines and he rides a bike. The employees know my name and always a say hello which makes me feel. Good. 😌 I will watch the TV in a bit. Rick is reading the newspaper in his study. 

I have hot chocolate sitting in front of me but it is cold since it has been there awhile.
