I winked at cute single guy in church today, and he winked back!  He has an identical twin.  I told his mother that I am a sucker for a guy that winks back.  She said I could have him, she has another one just like him.  I guess one five year old is enough for her.  We had a pot luck dinner after church.  I forgot to bring a pot but hope to do better next month.  There was plenty for food and I ate too much.  Next time I will dish out the portions myself and make them smaller.

Friday Candace Kuhn and I went to Time Out for Women (a church program).  It was Friday evening and all day Saturday.  We stayed in a nice motel Friday night.  I walked a lot both days and my legs were so sore I could hardly walk on Sunday morning.  I was so tired I took a 2 hour nap on Sunday.  The program was very nice and well attended (about 900 women).  Candace is so good to me.  I was orphaned at age 76 and the Kuhn family has adopted me.  I won’t be changing my name. Candace checks on me several times a week and Dee and I go to her basketball and/or volleyball games.  Candace, her sister and mother all play Basketball. 

People that fail to reach old age will never know the joy of the:

Surprise on the face of people you haven’t seen in years when, the find you’re still alive.

So many brown sun spots that look like you’re changing your nationality

Pains that make you aware of body parts you didn't know you had

Flagellants that could put you in the book of records

Wrinkles that would bother you if your eye sight wasn't failing

The love and kindness that comes your way from family, friends, and strangers

I love my life. God is so good to me.

I went to watch Candace play basketball.  She gathered up enough ladies  from the church for a game and has been asked to make it a regular thing.  It was easy to tell that the kids weren’t use to mother playing because they kept wandering on to the court.  There were twin girls there Phoebes age.  I loved watching them and thinking of my sweet Phoebe.  After the game Candace and I went to Grinder Haven for lunch.  They greeted me like an old friend and gave us free French fries.  I guess I have been there a lot lately.  I came home and set off the house alarm.  Any time I want a phone call that’s all I have to do.  They always call.  It has happened so often that I have stopped being embarrassed.  

The sun is shining and I feel great, I always do better when the sun shines.  I took out the trash for the first time in months (my friends do it for me).  I walked around the house and into the back yard a small step for mankind but a big step for me.  I mailed a letter I should have mailed weeks ago. I think I may even fold the laundry, or not. 

I got my taxes done today.  I also went to the gym for the first time this year.  I did 7 minutes on a bike.  I then prayed for strength to get to my car on my own.  It was a good day.
