Update from mom

Hi from Arizona,
 
Sue mentioned it to me and then I read the Comments from the Mieska blog and it seems that some of my grandchildren have missed the weekly letter that I used to send. As a matter of fact, I haven't written one since April of 2009!! I didn't think anyone even had time to read it or care about the menial jottings I was putting down.
My life is pretty hum drum but if you want to read it, then I guess I can take the time to write it.

Her goes:  Most of you know that Sue flew down with me when I came in October. That was one of the best things that ever happened to me. She took charge, rented a car and got us to the park. Wow!  We proceeded to open up the place and clean the dust and dirt from the summer. I finally begged her to stop cleaning but she didn't--I was getting tired. We did take some time to go to the pool each day and she left me on Monday morning to go to her immediate job in Casa Grande. I rested!!  She came back every third week to spend the weekend with me and then proceed to her job in Casa Grande. This was throughout October, November and December. She has finished her work in Casa Grande so now I've been alone.
 
I'm still walking every day and doing aerobics 3 times a week. I haven't been to the pool since before Christmas, but the weather is now starting to make that a comfortable thing to do. I'm volunteering at the dinner show weekly and since the first of January, I usher at the concerts twice a month.
 
I have 3 widow friends that I spend time with. We go out to lunch occasionally and went to the movie "The King's
Speech". Very, very good.
 
Of course, I still manage to get invited to cocktail parties on occasion!!  I have my golf cart that gets me to and from safely!  This last week I entertained 2 couples for cocktails AND dinner.
 
This Wednesday, I'm looking forward, with great anticipation, to a visit from Steve & Peggy and Peggy's parents. I will pick them up at the airport (my first time of driving there alone) and Steve will get us back to Viewpoint. I will have much more to tell you about the things we are planning to do the next time I write. I have a list of "to do" jobs for Steve which I have already gotten his permission that he will do while they are here. I don't feel too guilty cause Steve likes to be busy.
 
I will not be writing next week, but the week, after cause I will not have access to my computer.
 
That's it for this time.  P.S.  I'm really enjoying skyping and being able to see the "greats" is a real bonus. I also enjoy the videos from facebook, too.
 
Love Always, LaVerne
