Beware Sunday morning!

Do not sun-bathe on Sunday in this residence.!  I wore my bathing suit for ten minutes on the patio at 9.30 in order to get a little sunshine.  At lunchtime later, two people told me they had a good view of me while they were in the Chapel!. O je! I didn't' remember that there is an RC service every Sunday morning in the chapel. 

Yesterday we had a not publicized gourmet meal. So my table ordered various and shared:  lamb, Brazilian fish stew, chicken empanadas ( big eggy  ravioli pockets),soft manioe polenta , okra and tomatoes, coconut rice and coconut tres.leches cake with a dried banana slice stuck in the top.  The meal was the comparable to Sardi's fare! 

Activities

May 26 2012.  Two more grave sites to visit before Memorial Day, the great-grandparents and the great-great-grandparents!  I am going out early because the temperature today will reach 90F.  Yesterday at the craft hour the residents were given little boxes paint, purportedly jewelry boxes.  The acrylic paint from China was slow to cover cardboard, but some delightful llittle boxes were produced, and then topped with glued.on jewels.  Our leader spends significant amount of money on crafts and has delightful ideas. I am putting newspaper on the tables to protect nice tables from glue and paints. This was followed by the monthly birthday celebration when our grand piano is used as a table to serve cake by the philitines. AARGH.
     Another activity is sewing together knitted squares to make "lap rugs" for the hospice patients.  This is done 1.30 Monday or Tuesday and I enjoy the simple stitching  of beautifully colored squares. Sewing circles are good for talking, too! I posted pictures on Facebook of the messes we have to live with at the home, and will add two more of unintended storage chaos.  One of our lovely aides is taking a leave of absense and gave each us a warm little scarf she had knitted!  That was so thoughtful of her!

Attention needed

May 25 2012

Überall geht alles gut, nicht wahr? (statt in Griechenland.) Es was besser, dass alle Schulden soll je 50 Jahre vergeben werden, so in der Bibel!) dann beginnen wir wieder neu. Leute sind immer schuldig! So ist das Leben. Jetzt die Banken unsere Geld nehmen werden. .O je. 

Hier im Heim wohnt eine alte Frau, die mir das Fenster Magazin gegeben hat. Es hat mir gefreut Das Fenster wieder zu sehen.  Normalerweise, lese ich „Geliebte Freundin“, die Geschichte der P I Tschaikowsky und Frau Natasha von Meck.
Ich bin unterwegs mit gymnastik M W F, eine Universitäts Klasse World History III, und mit Senioren zu helfen im Computer Labor. H 13-15. In USA gibt Toten Sonntag für den Gefallenen 28 Mai, einen Feiertag. .Viele Samstage werden wir im Kino die neue digetal NY Metropolitan Opera der Ring des Niebelungen zu hören/sehen!  Ganz toll.

Bleib gesund liebe Freundinnen, und denke an mir: 

Mothers' Day, and Undershirts at Meals

We had a  party downstairs
for early Mothers Day.  Iced  or hot drinks, and bologna and cheese sandwiches
and hostess cakes. 
..- the paper cups were a step up from Styrofoam!
But nice music on a keyboard! 
We had a good crowd and ate up the sandwiches in 30 minutes.
My daughter did not show because her newly-busy husband has her cutting
the grass today.  
      I bought Mr X two knit shirts, extra large, hoping he will wear them
to meals.  He prefers appearing in his undershirt:   AARGH  He accepted the shirts, 
with thanks, then sat on a sofa by the elevator and slept there until the next meal!
