Dear Mom & Dad,Greetings from the Juror's Waiting Room – it's now 10:30 and so far just the parking tickets have been validated! Going to be a slow paced day!
Thanks for your letter w/ Dad's schedule [probably for the cross country bike ride] & what a schedule! Now that will be a fast pace!
This weekend there is a HUGE fund-raiser at Glencroft – the Nursing home / retirement area near the Morgans. I've volunteered to help drive a Van between the Junior College & the big doings there. My shift is from 4:00 to 9:30 pm on Friday. Sid will hold the fort down at Sr. Village while I'm volunteering.
Have you talked to Miss Wendy about our trek up South Mountain? It was quite an experience – and quite an accomplishment! I heard on the news that out of the 6,500 estimated people that attempted – less than 75% made it to the top! I never had any doubt that we would not make it! Now Wendy has the challenge of collecting the $!
It's sure turned cold in Florida – hope it will be warm when I'm there!
Miss Wendy did tell me all about the Elder-hostel trip w/ you all – She sure sounded excited about it!
When is the trip – and when will Grandma's birthday celebration be held? I could try to come and be there part of the time you folks are gone. Joe Horton also is interested in when the celebration will be – – It's best for me to be gone middle of the month – but could be gone till about the 28th! Wendy asked be about flying on the same flight as long as I didn't act like I knew her! She also asked me if I was going to keep my arrival a secret – but I told her not this year!
The talk shows are on in the waiting room – Sally Jesse Rafael w/ missing persons – rather those looking for a missing person. Then/There is a psychic who is telling where the missing persons are – not a real controversial show – –
We ate at a Korean restaurant lat night – they had a 2 for 1 coupon in the paper.
I just cleaned out my purse – couldn't find the envelopes but did find the Church bulletin & hand out we got last week (Quaker) the church is about to – or rather is in the process of selecting a new minister. Next week – the men's quartet will be coming from the trailer park you all stayed in – – Did you see what opening song was in bulletin – Something from Disney (? or is it?) It's a Small World!
Did you talk to Mary Virginia yesterday? We did get a card out & hopefully she got it by yesterday!
Last Thursday was a fund raiser in Scottsdale for the Foundation for Senior Living – held at a very posh Apartment for Senior Citizens ($1500 per month for small Apt. w/ noon meal) & up depending upon bigger apartment & optional breakfast/supper meals. The place does have a very nice VAN & 2 Lincoln Tour Cars! It was a 2:00 pm English high tea & fashion show. This benefit was to help put $ in Adult Day Health Care – I did see Frankie Moore there – her Mom is now in Adult Day Health Care –
We talked to several residents of "the Springs" where it was held & they were all complaining of the food (saying how w/ 3 entrees you never know what to take – which would be the best of the worst – as if all 3 would be BAD! They said that usually the best bet is the fruit & cottage cheese plate that's available every day!
My foot is falling asleep (maybe I'm putting you all to sleep too!) so I'll get up & walk around – we are allowed to sign out for a 10 minute leave –
Looking forward to seeing you both in April (?). Should we make a dinner reservation for you Mom – at the Banquet?
Love,
Roberta
