As I was saying and more importantly . . .


Mon., March 10, 2003 - Nancy took me to appointment with Dr. Semin in p.m.  Played cards in evening and stopped afterward at Dolores' to play Rummikub.  Mary brought me a bouquet of 10 daffodils -- very, very pretty.

Tues., March 11, 2003 - The HandiVan took me to my hair appointment.  The maintenance man put a new seat on the toilet stool.  Dolores came in evening.  She had a new game of Dominoes.  We played several games and then some Rummikub.

Wed., March 12, 2003 - Katie Bleich called to tell me she would be visiting me tomorrow.  Went to Book Club this evening.


So much for my remark that posting twice a week would be no big deal.  (That is what I wrote, right?)  Oh, well.  I'm here now.

I remember well the daffodil bouquet.  It was a fundraiser for The Cancer Society and I bought three or four bouquets each year.  They were still unopened buds when I picked them up, and it was fun to watch them do their thing.  Oddly enough, I was thinking of that fundraiser just the other day and wondered if they were still doing it.  

More important than flowers is the newest family member.  Ottie Pope Bowder was born to happy parents Dane and Alison and big sister Willa on April 21.  It's so lovely to have good news since the last couple of years have been a bit dreary in many respects.  Plus, she's pretty cute.
