Yesterday I turned 70 & am feeling OLD! The family was here to "celebrate". They came for the summer festival, which always falls in my birthday week. They've been here for enough days that I'm ready for a break...does that sound terrible? I probably shouldn't have posted...feeling blah.

Hope you're all having a pleasant weekend. Cal

Dahling - you look mahvelous!! Seriously, I turned 68 in June and the idea that I am now so close to 70 seemed really irritating. So, I left town with DH for a few days. By the time I was done playing the slots at a casino, target shooting and ballroom dancing I realized I was not a basket case yet. I was happily tired after we got home. If I'd stayed home, I would have wound up cooking and cleaning for everyone who showed up to wish me well. I had a blah day yesterday -just couldn't get any ambition to do much of anything except schlep 3 loads of laundry in and out of machines and put supper to cook on the grill. The barometric pressure was down and that always makes me ache all over. Usually means rain is coming and it showed up this A.M. Go put your feet up and watch a favorite movie.

Happy belated Birthday, Cal. I hope by now you are finished with the blahs and are feeling relaxed again and looking forward to the weeks you have left at your hotel. Friday, when I went to my oncology clinic for a regular check-up and blood work - I greeted one of my favorite nurses with - How are you? She answered ' :fabulous!" I thought - that was great - and wondered if I had ever answered anyone with that response. I'm still waiting on results of the bloodwork but am trying to be very positive. I'm feeling good - had a nice lunch out and shopping with Dh today - so it's been a good day. It's beastly hot outside - but thanks to the miracle of AC I am cool and comfy. Tonight's supper will be our usual cheese and munchies - along with something alcoholic! Have a great week - Rosemary
PS - and you don't look a day over 69!!
