I hosted Investment club last Wednesday and had a birthday luncheon for two of my friends with August birthdays yesterday so have been pretty busy. Nine of us gathered to celebrate Hazel and Ramona's birthday. Ramona did not get to come since she was ill so we took a lot of pictures for her and all signed her birthday card and sent her presents home with Phyllis. I was surprised with a hostess gift of a dozen apricot roses and a flow blue saucer to add to my collection.
Ted ate with us but opted for TV instead of visiting with us..

This morning I was dreaming about having a pet skunk and was awakened by Jose squirming and cuddling and kissing me. I guess that must have conjured up the image of a skunk. God only knows a pet skunk is the last thing we need.

Ted has a medical appointment tomorrow for pain management and I have one today with the cardiologist. Then Jose gets his teeth cleaned next week. I just hate this sort of thing where we do the endless waiting game. Ted's doctor is the worst. One day we went in early and every chair in the waiting room was occupied and the doctor was doing emergency surgery. I just had an awful thought...What if Ben Carson was your cardiologist?
