Today is the last day of
School in the San Diego School district.
Parking is at a premium at the gym as we are next door to the Middle
School….I still think of it as a Junior High.
Pool patrons can’t park. Parents
and grandparents are arriving baring leis and flowers for the 8th
grade graduation as we, who got parking, leave the pool. I remember not knowing to do that as many of
our grandchildren graduated. We have
learned tho.
No sun here at the beach
today. G and I slathered on Sunscreen
Saturday for our day’s trip to the fair, and the sun did come out late in the
day. We had wonderful fun. Sunday back to the estate sale where I did
pick up a few more art and architecture books at discount. Two weeks from now there will be another sale
with things from the second floor and the basement. Amazing….this lady made me and friend Katy
look like Pikers in the book department for sure.
We drove inland…where
there was glorious sun, and G found a pair of worn Desert Storm boots to go
with his costume for Comic Con. Last
year’s boots were killing him. Another
estate Sale….the lady was stuck with 1966 décor. marimekko fabrics everywhere. I too had some of that once when I had no
real art. She put them everywhere even
on the front of her fridge.
Lastly home to dinner then
dress nicely for a meeting before the meeting.
Of all things, I wasn’t a good fit as the bell ringer= ringing to let
all 300 know that it was meeting time.
Time = numbers, and only at the end of the six months did I manage to
remember what time I was to ring my bell.
Dressing. To the big gala at the store, I had worn
black head to toe and gold jewelry. People kept telling me how nice I looked….over
and over again. As someone said, it made
you wonder what you looked like before.
Made me laugh too.
Now that is no way to take a compliment, to be skeptical about the reasoning. Just bask in the glory!
ReplyDeleteThat was one full day.
ReplyDeleteToo bad we do not live next door. I like much of what you do and would be happy to go along for some of these things. What did you look like before? LIke everyone over 60, unnoticeable. They would not say it if they did not mean it!
ReplyDeleteYou clean up really good.
ReplyDeleteReminding me how much I want to go swimming. Well, maybe tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you got 28 hours packed into that day!
ReplyDeleteSchool is out in Chicago an Hawaii right now. We can see the traffic change. That center piece reminded me of a sea urchin minus the spikes.
ReplyDeleteI wish you could have posted a photo of how wonderful you looked. :-)
