Linda is here!! At this writing she is now hopefully resting comfortably in her bed, which was nicely re-assembled by Justin with the help of new nuts 'n bolts obtained from Home Depot. Not a squeak out of the bed, and none from Linda either!
Her flights and connections went smoothly, and I found her waiting outside the gate even a bit earlier than expected. We were back home here around 8:30 pm, before Justin had gone to bed. The moon was nice and full when it rose, and I was thrilled that she got to see once more with me from the river room.
Prior to going to the airport, I went over to The Club for Happy Hour. At first I was going to pass on going but a couple of my friends had contacted me about coming, so I didn't want to miss them. Sharon was going to be there, one of the ladies whose photos I "borrow" some days when I don't feel like getting up for the camera. She starts choir rehearsal again next week so this her last chance to participate. My friends, Carol and Randy, also let me know they were coming and I was so glad to see Randy again. He has been absent from our exercise class this season due to a fall at home and his subsequent surgeries to put him back together again. He is certainly missed!
When I sat down at the table with Betty and Kathy, the waiter brought me a rum and Diet. I felt badly that I had to send it back for a plain Diet Coke due to my driving to the airport. I hope someone else was able to drink it. They were serving the mini-buffet tonight as well but I passed on that, not my favorite types of food, except for the mashed potatoes!
The morning began with rumbling in the skies but it cleared up enough for water exercise class. Only four of us showed up today, with there being 10 yesterday. (I missed again Tuesday because of my housekeeper and A/C man coming.) The water temperature was just about right and the sun warmed our backs and faces sufficiently. And then, just as class was over, it started to thunder again! Everybody out!!!
I love how nice and fresh my house now smells after the housekeeper did her thing. She used a spray on the floor when she mopped, instead of a mop and bucket situation, and the spray smelled like apple pie. My floors are all groomed for company. Tracy did a marvelous job, was efficient, thorough, and quite professional. Already this afternoon I was able to refer her services to another friend from The Club. I hope she works out for them.
Let the fun begin---but, after a good night's sleep!
