An odd Monday


An odd day - a Monday that didn't begin with swimming. The YMCA is now saying that the facility will be closed through Friday at least. All members are welcome to go to other facilities in the area - and I may do that if it stays closed much longer. I talked with one of our group who is out of town this week. She's concerned that if this Y is closed for too long, our wonderful group will begin to separate and lose the closeness that we've had since this pool opened six years ago. That would be the greatest tragedy of all - and we'll do our damnedest to keep that from happening.

We've decided that we need to spend money on something other than travel occasionally. Don't gasp! it won't be much. But we're going to talk to a service tomorrow about doing a major clean-up of the yard and then doing regular maintenance. And, we've got a woman coming to see about cleaning the house. Sigh - why are these things so hard to do, when they're really so good. Couldn't be that we're CHEAP! Certainly not!

John's been wanting a reading nook that he can set up with a chair and light that's away from the TV. Now that the chest-of-drawers is gone from the bedroom, he trying that space. He moved the needlepointed rocker, a footstool, and a floor lamp into the corner. So far it seems to be working for him.

Bridge today was a mixed bag. John and I had a great first round, and he had a good last round. Definitely up and down in the middle. But then we had a wonderful dinner with all those good veggies for dinner (corn on the cob, okra, tomatoes. Yum!
Today's picture is Andy and John yesterday.
