Mom's blog April 15

Hello Friends,

It's QUIET here now. Almost everyone has gone home and I'm lonesome. 8 more days and I will be winging my way home. I leave my home here at ViewPoint at 6:15 in the morning--the shuttle picks me up then so I'll be up EARLY to get everything shut off and out the door. April 24th is the day. Until then, not much is happening. I'm still walking twice a day and maybe even more now than all activities are over for the season. I'll be going to the pool too. You can shoot a cannon down our street and not hit anyone!!!

The last activity for the season was Monday night. They had a Greek festival--greek food, music, dancing. It didn't last very long!!

Tuesday, Shirley and I went to lunch at Mia Rosa's Tea House. It was great--crowded even at noon. Good food and great ambiance. Very enjoyable. I'll go there again next year.

Wednesday, Phyllis and I went to visit Donna & Jim Schadegg. Donna used to work for us at the Big Steer and I hadn't seen her in many years. It was a good visit.

Thursday, Ed & Joan Schmidt took me to Sour Dough Pizza. It is one of my favorite pizza places in the valley.

Friday I went to visit my former neighbor, Eileen Nihoul, who is now in an assisted living facility. I couldn't find her in her room so asked one of the nurses. She must be up at "Happy Hour" What would that be in a place like that I wondered. First thing I thought of was a 2 for 1 bar!! No, it wasn't like that. It was an afternoon sing along and movie time. She is a dear friend and I wanted to see her one more time before I went home.
After I left there, I stopped at Doris & Arden Caldwell's place. Had coffe and cake and a good visit.

Today I went to church and it was Confirmation Sunday. Pastor had a quiz on the things we should remember!! It was good.

This week will go slow. I'm having a perm-that will be the highlight of the week. See what I mean about being BORING!!

Until next week, Love to all. LaVerne
