Saturday December 15/12  update #314

I forced myself to stay in bed until almost 10:30 today and my body thanked me for it.   I slipped out to recharge my phone and came back to do my usual chores.

Bella wants to add some garlands in the Dining Room so we discussed how we are going to accomplish that.  When everything is glass, metal or concrete it takes some thought processes to determine which method will be the most advantageous because the changes are permanent.  I finally determined that I could drill small holes near the top of the aluminum window frames and use small ½” screws for anchors to attach to.

Bella went out to Coopera so I asked her to pick up a few of those screws on the way home.   When she returned I accomplished the task with ease so she can now pick up her garlands on Monday as she had planned.

I then rested yet again in the afternoon before preparing to go to Joe’s Secret Garden.  I also had to carry Bella’s heavy bag of bridge boards which she will use for her bridge instruction tomorrow through Tuesday.

The night at Joe’s was very enjoyable as we had a table for four with Chris and Bettye.  Chris is recuperating very well from his hernia surgery.  
We haven’t been to a "Gringo night" gathering in many months and don’t miss that because we always get to meet nice new folks at Joe’s, especially when I have to explain who I am to take their photographs.
We met another new Canadian couple, Richard & Sandi Chamberlain from Victoria as well as a few other American couples.  I was clearing out old emails Sunday morning and came across an August email from Sandi offering to volunteer at the Amigos Activity Center.  Due to the demise of Amigos I have referred Sandi to Emilie at Hearts Of Gold for ideas.

I feel like an overstuffed armchair.  We really shouldn't eat so much, but Joe's food is just so-o-o-o good!

That was today’s excitement.   Hugs to all.   Please see all photos at http://souvenircuenca.blogspot.com/
