Mary slept past 8:00 am this morning, and let me tell you, that’s like Bigfoot getting caught on camera—it just never happens! But after all the meds she took to relieve the pain, we totally understand why. I mean, with that much medicine in her system, she probably thought she was on a mini-vacation in Dreamland, lounging on a beach with a tiny drink topped with a little umbrella!
He woke up in such a great mood that you’d think she was the star of a sitcom! With a smile that could outshine the sun, she flung the blankets off like they were attacking her with bad dreams. “Weekend, you better watch out!” she declared, as if the weekend were a mischievous toddler about to get into trouble. She danced her way to the coffee maker like it was a dance-off on a game show, ready to claim her caffeine crown! Honestly, if the weekend had ears, it would be blushing right about now!
“Anything beats the hospital!”
We opened up a new puzzle and dove in, ready to tackle it with the enthusiasm of detectives on a hot case. But so far, it’s Puzzle 1 and Puzzalees 0. At this rate, the puzzle is looking less like a beautiful picture and more like a jigsaw version of modern art. We’re beginning to wonder if the last piece went on vacation without us! I mean, how do you even lose a piece? Did it run off to join the circus while we weren’t looking? If it doesn’t stop mocking us, we might have to send a search party—or declare a truce and invite it back for a pizza party instead!
Around 3:00 pm, Mary decided we would go to a birthday party this evening. Sandee is turning 75, and we need to celebrate!!
Although she has reconciled herself to sitting through dance music, she does NOT want a repeat of Friday am!
While getting ready, a thought occurred to me (always a dangerous situation). So, I posted a sign outside and am awaiting any takers.
We headed to the Elks lodge to gather with friends Vicky and Jum, Bob and Dinna, along with several other Starlighters, to celebrate Sandee’s milestone of 75 years. The evening unfolded beautifully, featuring a wonderful dinner and heartfelt conversations with everyone present. After enjoying dessert and sharing joyful moments, we decided it was time to head home, as Mary was starting to feel discomfort in her back and needed to take her medications. We made it back, settled in, and were in bed and asleep by 9:00 pm, grateful for the lovely evening spent with friends.
