Birthday Weekend!

I wonder if now that I am not a captive audience at a computer for 8 to 10 hours a day, if I will just eventually ease off blogging.  But I still have stuff to say and I really want to blog for a year while retired, to see my evWeolution.

I think I just need to set a certain time a day to blog and stick to it.  I have not been terribly busy, but I have been up to the city with my husband and my sister.  We went back to where DH and I moved from, for my DGM 100 birthday!  She had a nice birthday.  We did a card shower for her, she cannot see and cannot hear, so being around many people is stressful for her.  So, we just did the card shower, we shared with people closed to us and family for her and so far she had gotten 75 be the time we left her on her birthday to come home.

The home where she lives is independent living.  She comes downstairs for her meals.  Her daughter and my cousin, my DGM, my sister, DH and I.  we shared lunch with her.  They sang HBD to her and brought her the annual banana split (evidently this is preferred for elderly over cake).  I can understand that.  I prefer pie over cake, cake can be so very dry and blah.  But my sister did bring her some yummy cupcakes from a place I recommended.

When the recreation therapist and the guy in charge came over to say hello, he had a microphone and asked if DGM wanted to say anything about how she made it so long.  Well my Granny gets that microphone and says..."Well if you don't want to live to 100 you better start drinking and smoking...I never did that".  It was pretty funny.

DH and I playing golf today.  It is gray and spotty rain, but should not amount to much.  Tomorrow is my birthday and I am doing yoga and then I think I am either going to steak place or to the casino for dinner.  I might even play $40 worth of slots.  You know, live dangerously.
