The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there!

Padding Tweety's cage now.

My mom is sitting on the front porch listening to her Irish music. I bought a boom box from VT Country Store for her and she loves it. Brother is with her and I am having a little time to myself. It was a fine day for sure.

Well as some of you know, my 2 besties and I are trying to do something fun each month. Did a tea last month,, and another tea at another place this month.. but I just had to "up the game".. LOL So I booked us bus trip in Dec!! Its a day trip,, to a German Chirstmas market in Pa, with a trip to a winery and lunch, and a visit to a fancy christmas shop on the way. And we don;t have to drive !! Win win for us!! We are so excited.. hoping this works out! The only other time I did a day bus trip was to NYC with my DD and a friend and we had fun.. but NYC is not my favorite place... This seems pretty low keyed, and we can do some Christmas shopping Gonna need some help to top this!! Oh we did do a trip to the river house and a spa and salt cave,, that was pretty sweet but trying to keep it to one day trips as 2 of us still work!

Just wishing for an invention of a robot that can do all the hands-on care tasks, so I don't have to do them. It will free me physically and mentally to enjoy my mom's company. My brother is always cheerful to see her, that's because he doesn't have to do any hands-on care.

Polar,
That could very well happen in the near future. I was reading about a housekeeper robot.

EB,

Celtic music is beautiful! Your mom sounds so precious! I bet she was so full of life when younger and brought joy to everyone that she met.

Talk later, I have to go exchange some pants that I bought. When I tried them on at home. I was disappointed that they are too big. I hope they will have a smaller size. I find pants are a hard fit! Dresses are actually cooler in our climate, but I needed some new casual pants and I hadn’t bought any in awhile. I thought these would fit. Nope! They are baggy. Grrrrrr.

Nothing is cut true to size these days. I hate that we can’t just grab a size and go. Some run small, some run larger. The size on the label means nothing anymore.

So, how many of you hate picking out your eyeglass frames? I went this afternoon to look. It drives me crazy!

I am not cheap. I don’t mind paying a fair price, but come on, $500 just for frames! Then another $500 for the antiglare progressive lenses! It’s crazy! I am going to look at other places for less expensive frames. I don’t need expensive designer frames!

EB,

Sending prayers. I had a biopsy years ago. Mine was a solid mass though. It’s unnerving to go through. Thankfully, it was benign.

NeedHelp,
Thanks for shaing your experience. I am glad the biopsy was benign. You just made me feel better. I am trying to take one day at a time and after all it could be benign.

For the Irish music lovers here, I assume you're equally fond of step dancing, and especially Riverdance and its very, very talented dancers?    I've seen Riverdance probably a dozen times, and never tire of it.  I think it would change a lot of blue moods if it were aired at ILs, ALs, and memory care facilities.

When Riverdance first debuted, I did some research and learned that in fact there is a local dance company whose instructor teaches step dancing.   If only I were younger and could dance that rapidly ...sigh....

And for dance lovers, have you ever watched Mickela Mallozzi's Bare Feet?  She's a dancer herself, and travels the world to learn and demonstrate dances typical to various countries.    The episodes always include instructional sequences, which I couldn't pick up quickly enough, but I'm sure those with good dance background could.

But just watching inspires me to get up and start prancing around and get some good exercise.

Hi NeedHelp,
Happy clothes shopping. I am waiting until I take off 10 pounds and then I will shop and hopefully by the end of the summer. I love the discounts at the end of the season.
Oh yes mom is full of sunshine and people just love her. We had a little singing session in the car today and she knew most of the Irish songs. She starts moving her legs up and down and smiling. I just love it. Her big blue eyes are stunning and shine through with joy and love. I enjoy her so much.

NeedHelpWithMom,

I totally agree about the selection of glasses - they're not for the average working person!  

And the frames from Lenscrafters always start shifting after a while, pinching the sides of my nose.  I got so tired of going back there that I'll never go there again, and I might just return to the ophthalmologist who handled the cataract surgery.  

Check the receipt for the glasses, if you bought them.  When I got my last pair, the pandemic was beginning to accelerate, and I really didn't want to be in the store for any longer than to get my frames.  Later, I found that they ONLY have 20% blue light protection.

We consumers are being exploited on many levels.

Hello GardenArtist,
My mom and I saw Riverdance. It was wonderful and so uplifting. I would love to learn step dancing but I think I am not so coordinated as I used to be. LoL.

Need I am laughing about your comments on clothing sizes.. they are all over the place! My BFF liked to shop at Chicos.. I went with her a few times. They are crazy and make up their own sizes,, I actually wear a 2 in Chicos clothes.. but a 14 everywhere else!! Their biggest size is a "3",, LOL Is this to make us feel better?? "yes I wear a 2 thank you.." They have lovely clothes, and we took my Mom there once to look for slacks.. she was very tiny,,, normal size 4 maybe.. they told me to take her to childrens store, as she was too small for a size 000.. who the heck wears a negitive size??
