OLD LADIES HAVING FUN

Today, my friend Patricia and I went out to play. We decided to go to the Quay, in North Vancouver and see what is new.Not a great picture, from outside, but we had the inside with the shops to look at, so never really got outside to enjoy the weather too much.  This is my friend Patricia.

We went for lunch at an English Pub and ate, chatted and laughed.

 

I can’t believe I’m posting these following pictures!!! We found a hat shop, and this hat I had to try on. I felt like if a wind came along, I could fly! I didn’t need a broom!!

Ohhh nooo!!! We had to try on wigs!!! We almost got talked into a buy one, get one half price!!  No Patricia, I like your own hair better!!

 

 

Tom looked at this picture and said if he woke up beside me, wearing this wig, he’d ' be out of bed in a hurry!!  Humph!!!

Actually, this is a clip on, and boy does it clip on, even with my thin hair. But they dye it to match my own hair which is not dyed, so they’d have a hard time matching it they said, but what they do is attach it, and then, shape it to curl in with your own hair style, so it’s not noticeable as a wig or a “rug”. It’s human hair, so it can be washed and curled. Only $250.00. I think not!!

 

 

So the two old ladies had a few giggles and good chatter. Then we went for a coffee to rest our sore feet, and then to the grocery store to replenish the fridge. A fun day!

Now to change the subject and show you my tomato plant.

How about this Roxanne and Dorothy!!

A little blurry, but look at those tomato’s coming along!!!

 Just a picture of a golden ship passing through. I thought it was the sun shining on it, making it gold, but Tom said it’s  red leaded. Looked pretty coming in.

So, that was my day! My grandson called me, and that is a big highlight of the day for me!

Also, Tom is doing well after his quad bi-pass, however having another problem with passing kidney stones, which is terribly painful!! The poor guy has had one horrible year!! He’s on pain pills and everything else they could give him to make him comfortable until they pass, but they didn’t show up on the CT scan as they are like grains of sand, and too small to show up, but he sure can feel it!! So, he hasn’t been about to enjoy good health after his heart surgery. I hope things change soon!! It’s very hard on us both!

MICHAEL JACKSON, GONE TOO SOON

 

Gone too soon!

I don’t think there are many people in the world today that wouldn’t agree with me and feel bad about Michael Jackson’s passing.  We’ve lost a fantastic entertainer with amazing talent. He may have been weird in many way’s we can’t and will never understand, but maybe his oddness made him that much more entertaining to his many fans. After watching today’s memorial, it was plain to see he had thousands upon thousands and thousands of fans that loved him. I hope, wherever he is, (maybe sitting on that crescent moon, like Brook Shields mentioned in her speech today), I do hope he is looking down in amazement at what a star he really was to us all.

I can remember watching him do the moon dance for the first time on TV and how amazing it was, and how the talk at work the next day was full of wonder about his great talent.

It was a wonderful memorial to him today. Always so touching, and sad, and I, like everyone sat watching with a lump in my throat and at the end when his daughter tearfully talked about loving her Daddy…I lost it!

CONFUSED MIND

The older I get, I seem to be joining the confused, lost, unclear, perplexed, bewildered, forgetful, club of senior citizens! I don’t like it at all!!

At times, the grey cells seem to work just fine, and I can remember names I haven’t heard for years, sing the lyrics to songs I had forgotten, and recall very stupid facts like “what do you call a pregnant goldfish?” The answer in case you are interested is…oh my gosh, what the heck is it called….oh yeah….a twit!! Important fact to remember eh?

Why these useless things stay in my mind is a mystery to me, and things I should remember seem to have floated off somewhere into space, but not to worry, they will come back one day when the grey cells shift to make room for some other thing that will for some reason, stick in this shattered brain of mine.

I have two calendars that I work from. (I can hear Lauren laughing as she reads this! Lauren and I worked together and I think I had three calendars going at once then, and she could never figure it out and would tease me about it.)  So, I like calendars eh!! Is that called a Fetish??

So, this is what has happened. I had on one calendar on my computer, nothing but a specialist appointment on Wednesday the 8th. What? I don’t remember that , but these specialist appointments are made months in advance, so maybe I forgot and whatever we made it for is no longer a problem. My other calendar show’s nothing on that day EXCEPT my best male pal’s birthday. This male pal is my buddy John from Belleville, a great guy, with a special personality, and a heart as big as gold and full of kindness! Now my other calendar, shows Johns birthday is today!! Confusing eh, but remember… this is my mind working here!! The specialist appointment is from last year, I found out by calling the office!!

So today, which is the wrong day I phoned John in Ontario and belted out my Happy Birthday song to him when he answered. He laughs and tells me I’ve flipped my lid, which is exactly the problem!!

Anyway John, with my wonky mind, you still have to give me credit for having the right month!!

So, my friend, a salute to you on Wednesday, July 8th and a

VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

PS….present is in the mail!
