Well, I'm seriously thinking of throwing this computer out the window! Every time I think I am catching on a little, something really DUMB happens - - like I type a nice blog, and suddenly it just disappears into thin air - WHOOF!!, 'bye 'bye, so long!! I wanted briefly to tell you about this little neighborhood I live in. Remember it is on the edge (next street over is out of the city limits) of a city of over two million. Anyhow after I enjoyed an MRI on my back a few days ago, I went by the post office and someone called to me and said "Hi, didn't I just see you coming out of the Y?","Yep, you sure did".. (I exercise at our local Y a couple or three days a week, with a younger friend - she is only 78.)
Then I just had to run by Whataburger and get some biscuit and sausage gravy for breakfast. (This is a southern staple food - can't live without it! ) Well, I have told you before about Dorothy, the 79 year old waitress at Whataburger. So she came over and greeted me, and I started to get uo to get some coffee, and she said," I'll get it for you" So she brings me a cuppa and plops herself down in my booth, and we just a had a good old visit..
Then I go to our neighborhood store the next day, and they have published a dollar off milk with a $10.00 purchase. I hand the cashier, Mary, my coupon, and she says "Oh honey, this was through yesterday!" I knew that; I just forgot what day it was. She says "Take it over to the courtesy booth and tell you want your dollar."
I said, "Are you kidding?" She said no, so I go over and get in line, and I guess I was too slow for her, she comes up, takes the coupon out of my hand, and reaches around someone at the window and said "Give her a dollar." And they do. . . It is amazing what this white hair does for you sometime.
No more time tonight - have to leave early tomorrow for Central Texas (God's Country) for the afore mentioned reunions so must get my beauty sleep - hee hee!

Hey Mom...see, it get's easier all the time, doesn't it? Just keep up the good work and like you used to tell us when we were kids "Practise, practise, practise!".
Don't worry about the lack of comments...they will come, I'm sure. Right now just write for yourself and others will find you.

I hope you all have a fabulous reunion...
