Happy Thanksgiving to all of you

It's a few days early but want to hope that all of you will think of many things to be thankful for.
I have much to be thankful for and keep remembering all the good things that have come my way.

I was invited to a nice luncheon on Tuesday at Stan & Jean Wheatley's to visit with a former neighbor of mine. She now lives in Sun City West so only gets over here occasionally. Several of her former neighbors were there also.

Thursday morning, I took Ed & Norine Maier to breakfast. I wanted to thank them for all the help they've given me since I arrived down here.

Friday I went to " The Welcome Back Party". It was nice and the finger food was good. As soon as the music started playing, I took my leave. It still hurts to listen when I can't dance.

Saturday was a fun day. Our semi annual garage sale in the park took place so Norine and I scooted around on her golf cart to find all the bargains!! I got a hummingbird feeder!! It's what I've been waiting to buy when I went to a hardware store but I got one here for a real bargain! I also got a Sunbeam electric fry pan. It's just like the one I have at home that I bought when Steve was born (that makes it 55 years old) but I still use the one I have. What a bargain!! And only $1.00
At noon I went with Shirley to a Craft Sale at Leisure World. Saw lots of beautiful things. I was tempted but decided I really didn't need anything right now. We met a friend(Lorraine O' Donnell) who lives there and the 3 of us went to lunch at a Thai restaurant. It was my first experience with that kind of food and it was GOOD.

I went to church this morning and then spent an hour at the pool this afternoon. 20 minutes on each side and 20 minutes in the water!! Felt good.

Thanksgiving Day I am invited to Lorraine's home in Leisure World. There will be 13 of us. I had 2 invitations and accepted the first one. It's nice to be popular!!

I've received several emails from some of you that are reading the blog. I know I asked you to write me occasionally when I wrote the first blog and now some of you have responded. You make my day! I do get lonesome and I thank you.

Love, LaVerne
