This, That, Bits and Pieces!


Somehow or other pictures accumulate on my desktop for
future blogs but I never get around to posting them so I figured I would
do it today with explanations where needed--then again do pictures of
me and me eating need explanations???  LOL

     

    

Allen's
friend Ron was down from Kansas City and we went to the Quarterdeck for
a bite to eat--we all had the jambalaya and they make a good one!



Talking
about the Quarterdeck on Thursday after going to the Dollar Tree Norman
and I went there for lunch and had the fish and chips--well he had the
chips and I had the broccoli--I am such a good boy!



I've
talked about the avocado tree in the back of my building before--it is
amazing that the 8-9 avocados on the left keep on hanging on--I thought
for sure when we had the 25-30 mph winds and rain last weekend they
would fall off but they didn't--they are some of the original ones we
can't reach--just waiting for them to fall!!



I
got up early last week to go to the Residents Association meeting--I am
NOT a morning person as they found out--too long to go into but  don't
think they want me there next month and I know I don't want to be there
next month!



Going to the Broward Performing Arts Center!

with your big raise from SS.You should be able to buy one for yourself.
they are very cheapo.Good luck.Give up in going out to eat and saved the money for your new camera.(hey!I am not being tacky)if you want something then saved it.With all of the money that you spend on eating out,you should be able to worksomething out.Good luck.

To quote Cassie from "A Chorus Line"--You sound like my friends"--I have a birthday coming up--I have one every 4 years so I celebrate it with a big party--I am saving for that so I don't have any other money to save
Regarding the BIG raise we are getting-- 1/3 of it goes to the rent increase that goes along with any income I get--no doubt Medicare will go up!
"All the money" I spend eating out: 1) I use coupons so I am not going to the high class places 2) Allen picks up a lot of the checks 3) in order to eat out I cut back on the other 18-19 meals a week at home skipping many--I spend a lot less on food per week than you OR Mike do.
Besides what does the word 'save' mean--I was never taught that--and if I drop dead tomorrow why should I leave any?????

I get so furious when I hear a parent tell a child, "You are so stupid or so bad or anything negative"--they should always be told positive things--children remember and take to heart what their parents say--I still remember hurtful things my parents said 70 years ago!!! (Shhhhh---I proved them wrong! )

Hope you get it. I absolutely love my digital camera that Kenna gave me for Christmas a few years back.

Thank you--I am hinting to everyone I know that I would LOVE a GOOD camera for my birthday
