Who is Who!!

Aunty Dee and the ladies up at the Tea Room.   You can see a few of the tea pots behind them;  just think those shelves go all around the room and each one is filled to the brim.  Dee tells me they come  down twice a year to be washed by hand.  I wonder if I should volunteer;  um. . . better not, I'm dropping pretty things all the time.

 

A old friend who looks pretty good for a man of ninety.   A man of words, kind and loving.

A friend of fifty years, A poet.   A World War II veteran who parachuted out of the skies in France as the enemy shot them as they floated down.    A lucky survivor, a man or honor and integrity.   A good man to know and love.

Former President George W. Bush has never been to busy to keep in touch with the wounded warriors.    He invites a few to his ranch ten weekends every year all expenses paid.   

Coming up . . . Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.    I always wanted to take my children to New York and let them enjoy t hose huge balloons, but the price was never right . . .sigh.

I hope Hillary Clinton does not run.   I think she has done more than her share in a life time without much success.

Tuesday, all day, the weather is getting colder and the furnace is kicking on more.   Pat and I took La Verne out for an early birthday dinner.  She loves Prime Rib and we tried to go to the Ship and Shore restaurant but they now only serve it on Fridays and Saturdays.  The big 'deal' is over so the price is back up.   We went to the Monday night Prime Rib dinner at the casino and the price did go up but they served it in a much nicer fashion.  You have access to the soup and salad while you wait for your cut of meat and whatever potato you choose, free beverage and a lovely chocolate pudding to finish off your meal.  It was much better this time and we enjoyed reminding La Verne of her new birthday number.   Seventy-five and alive;  can't beat that.  We had changed the clocks back so darkness came much faster.  Riding home in the dark with car lights high, some folks just don't want to dim their lights and they wonder why they get a finger salute. . . too bad they can't see it....smile.

Granddaughter Erin has landed a temporary teaching job at a school for the deaf .  Someone noticed her resume and they called and set  up a telephone interview and are working with her to fill in until they can hire a full time teacher.  She is working on getting a teaching certificate of her own.    I am betting she fits in so well that they will help her get her certificate.  She has the experience and a fantastic resume behind her.   The school is in Salinas, California, so we are all waiting to hear what it is like.    Yesterday was her first full day.  It will be interesting to see how this all plays out as there is wedding talk this year, and Donaleo is going to finish up his classes in Hawaii and wants her there.  Decisions, decisions, 

So when you are making  your decisions as to what you want to do today, be kind, be gentle, be smart.  Give a helping hand to those in need.    Pray for those wounded warriors, they shouldn't have to beg for help.   It should be there for them.  Remember not to frown as it causes wrinkles you cannot get rid of.    You use less muscles when you smile and it lights up your world and all those around you.    Hugs to all.
