Conversation Club Chatter

Maureen, Sue and I can’t thank you enough for the tickets. We had a lovely evening at the Symphony. We both really enjoyed it, especially the music from West Side Story and Rhapsody in Blue. The Pianist was terrific and I enjoyed the conductor. I’s sorry I couldn’t go this morning but I was Happy Sue did. She came to the library and gave me report about what I missed. I’m really tired from work, today, but I’m still going out, again, tonight. Elliott and I are going to Pike Performing Arts for Body Vox. I’m off tomorrow but I have an evening Pacer game. I hope to get to the JCC, tomorrow, to work out.

We were way over our limit of 10 so I thought I’d start a new post.

When it is our time to go to Hawaii I hope you can be our travel agent Carol! I can say that the sun is shining here as are the stars.

Dave took his Dad to his church on Sunday and the sight of a single rose on the piano bench where his Mom sat every Sunday for the past however many years filled Dave’s eyes with tears. I wasn’t there but even as he told me about it the tears flowed. I told him that it hurts to hold the sound in that comes with the tears and that he should when he goes running or is in the car - or wherever he is comfortable to just let the sound out. It looks as if all the grandkids will be here.

Carol F … are you sure you aren’t on some drug? I don’t know where you get the energy!

What a way to start the weekend … I was on my way down to the hospital when my sister in law called and asked me to pick up Dave’s dad on the way because Wilma had taken a turn for the worse. She had developed sepsis throughout her body. She died around 2 pm.

I work tonight, till 9:00 but I want to go to Maureen’s for CC. Carol, can you wait, to talk about MaryAnn and the Poetry group, until I get there? I’m excited to say I’m off work that week so I can definitely go to the Poetry group. I need to talk about Elliott’s work situation for next year. More tonight.

I’m thrilled to say I am once again a member of the JCC. Elliott signed me up for my Valentines/ Birthday (not till May)/ Chanukah gift. I miss it and can’t wait to go swimming with Donna!! Next, we bought a HP laptop computer instead of putting more money into our desk top Gateway (it’s been in the shop for a week). I’m posting this from the library. Did I already tell you Phil from Sheltie Rescue is coming out, Momday? He will talk to us about possibly adopting a Sheltie and will check our house to make sure it’s Sheltie approved! Matt and Rachel are in Kentucky visiting Bobby. It’s too bad Matt’s girlfriend couldn’t be with them but Jen has started working in Florida for Spring Training. Kate, it is great you got to spend time with Titus. I enjoy being with my friend’s grandchildren. Aunt Carol and Uncle Elliott were with Sophie, last Sunday, and Thursday I went to lunch and a movie with Susie, her daughter, Brie, and Susie’s 3 year old grandaughter, Kelsey. I really enjoyed it! Maureen, I’m happy your PT seems to be going well. All of you have a great weekend. Carol, have the girls been to the CM lego exhibit yet? I will be there, tomorrow, from 2-3 reading stories about princes, princesses, dragons, etc.

I’m so EXCITED!! I just found out the Adult Author who will be the Marian McFadden speaker, this year, at NC, is Nicholas Sparks. Are any of you interested in hearing him speak on Friday night, March 20th? Most of my friends prefer to hear children’s authors. I like both and especially Nicholas Sparks. I’ve read every one of his books except the latest. I’m still on a waiting list.

I’m sorry I didn’t make it to Barb’s last night. How was it? Which of you made it to her house? I worked until 9:00 and got out late. I have library news ( about a fight and a light pole) I’ll tell you next CC. The Sheltie Rescue called, yesterday. A man is coming out Feb. 16th to check the house and talk to us about adopting a Shelti. My sister was supposed to get her Golden Retriever puppy, tomorrow but all four puppies have a virus so the breeder wants to keep them an extra week. I have more to tell about that also. I’m off the weekend and looking forward to it. Tomorrow Elliott and I are actually going out with another couple ( with his schedule we don’t do that very often). We also have a surprise 60th birthday party tomorrow night but I don’t think we will be able to do both. Matt is meeting Jen is Columbus Ohio since it’s half way for both. It will be the last time they will see each other for two months. Jen will be in Florida for Spring Training and Matt won’t get a chance to go there this year. He is too busy with Horizon league sports here. Bobby’s graduation is May 9th and I’m hoping Elliott can get Friday off. I already worked it out. Guess who is planning to go with us?? Give up? It’s Elliott’s Mom! Hope all of you have a great weekend!
