Mom is back in Arizonz

Blog time again

It's Sunday afternoon and I've only been back in Arizona since Wednesday but I guess there is enough news to write a short note.

Dick & Joyce picked me up at the airport and took me out to lunch. On the way home they gave me the sad news that they were leaving to go back to Oregon for the remainder of the winter. I am disappointed but I know that all of us have to make our own decisions and do what we think is best for us. I will miss them--Joyce and I were to do some garage sales after I got back but guess that is not to be. Hope their trip home is without incident.

Friday afternoon I went to an old fashioned "sock hop" up at the auditorium. The owners served hamburgers, hot dogs, potato chips, cake, and root beer floats. Wonder of wonders--it was free!! Lots of the folks were dressed in the "poodle skirts" of the "60's" and had on their bobby socks. It was fun to watch. I had to leave when the disc jockey played "May I Have This Dance for the Rest of My Life.

That same evening I was invited to Ed & Norine's for a cocktail party.

Saturday I did something I haven't done for a LONG time. I baked 3 loaves of 9 grain bread!!! It turned out really good! I started the yeast before I checked my flour so had to ring 3 doorbells before I found someone who had 2 more cups of flour that I could borrow!

Saturday I also went up to the ball park and watched the guys play softball.

Sunday morning I went to church and then a friend called and invited me to go to a movie. We saw "The Great Debaters" with Denzel Washington. It was excellent. We're planning to see "The Bucket List" and then "Juno" I've finally found someone who has the same tastes in movies that I do.

This next week looks like there will be plenty of things to keep me busy so stay tuned!!

Love, LaVerne
