Old Age Day by Day April 2 2013

Well, my modem is acting up, but I'm going to try this anyway, since I've been gone for a few days for our 39th wedding anniversary, and I need to get back in my routine.  We had a great time.  We were staying just four hours away, but it felt farther, and our weather was good.  We had some nice meals and a terrific room, and saw some sights and did some walking.  The second day we walked around a small lake at this park nearby where we were staying, and watched many people casting on the grass.  There were fly fishing instructors, and there were hoops and targets for the students.  It was mighty strange, to see the lines waving and dipping in the air, and not a drop of water around.

Another strange thing was a group of people yelling late at night, pounding on the door next to ours, screaming at someone inside.  We could hear every word, and finally my husband called the front desk and they sent some guy to talk these people down.  We'd seen them having drinks at the pool a few hours earlier, so I believe they were smashed and their language was even worse than at the pool.  The hotel guy asked for their IDs and finally got them to shut up.  We were staying at a very upscale place, but might as well have been at a dive somewhere.  But by midnight we'd gotten to sleep, so it was no biggie.

So I've done my laundry, gone to the grocery store, read old newspapers, picked up the dogs and am back to my ordinary life.  For which I am very, very grateful.
