A quiet morning today, but this afternoon, we "worked" at a local grocery store, selling raffle tickets and taking donations to raise money to buy books for our local branch library. It's a crying shame that the city and county don't provide enough money to buy books. And that volunteers have to beg for money in a supermarket in order to get anything new.
I did get a Letter to the Editor in the paper today. A friend from SeniorNet had mentioned that she had been here to "tourist" and couldn't figure out how to work the parking meters - so they just left town. I am not opposed to parking meters - it's a way to generate some revenue and to keep people from hogging parking places all day. But these new ones seem to be difficult. So I felt compelled to bring this to the attention of the powers-that-be. Like they'll care.
I've added some favorite links and a counter to the edge of this blog. I hope you'll try some of them and find them interesting. I forgot to add SeniorNet - one of the best. A clickable is in the previous paragraph, and I'll be adding it to the list.
The teenage grandson of some friends has just been diagnosed with cancer - a tumor that is wrapped around his ureter and prostate. He's just started a course of chemotherapy, and hope that that will shrink the tumor, so it can then be managed. Some of our dearest friends have dealt for years with cancer in two of their sons. Have you ever noticed that life isn't fair?
And on that note, our picture of the day will be just for pretty - a bougainvillea blossom.
