Week of Sunday March 16th through Saturday the 22nd, 2025

 SUNDAY:  I was up until three p.m. this morning, (unwinding from my trip) but I forgot about the time change, so it was really four p.m.  I had started a load of laundry and fire up my ROKU TV and found a movie I started to watch on the first flight yesterday THE QUIET GIRL, but all of a sudden around the time the clock said three a.m., I started to crash and went to bed a few minutes later.  I slept four hours and then got up and used the bathroom and found a VDH podcast and listened to the first few minutes before I fell asleep again.  I found this mornings sermon online and put it on.  I got a few more hours sleep and I think I woke up around eleven a.m. but I thought it was ten a.m. because of the SPRING AHEAD clock chance that took place a few days ago.  I spent the day at home, working on unpacking and this blog and uploading pictures to Flickr. Mary Turk brought my mail over in the afternoon.  She is so sweet and I really like her.  I...

 Friday March 7th, 2025 I got up early VERY EARLY and got to Betty's house a little before four a.m.  After some careful maneuvering of luggage, six of us piled into her minivan with our luggage and it was very crowded.  Got to the airport on time, checked in, and got in line to go through customs or whatever they call it.  Got to our terminal and waited about an hour until we could line up to get on the plane.  Very small plane.  Sue and I shared a three seater with a young man.  Light snacks and drinks served, short flight, got to Chicago just fine.  Long walk to our terminal.  I decided to purchase some food at a bakery across from our terminal:  a banana, piece of cheese and a cranberry/lemon scone. Sue, and two others did the same thing.  This was about a two hour wait and the terminal got very crowded.  Much larger plane, lots more people.  flight went well.  Landed in Fort Lauderdale?  shuttles got all of ...

Week Starting with SUNDAY March 2, 2025

 SUNDAY:  Church was excellent this morning, as usual.  After church, Glenda, Lori, Andrea and I went to Applebee's for lunch.  Glenda and I did the "two for $26" since we both really like the grilled chicken meal.  I went directly home after lunch and spent the rest of the day at home.  After resting, I finished getting my CARRY ON BAG packed with the necessities including all of my meds and supplements, my good jeans and one pair of capris, three short sleeves tops, one sweater, one pajama bottom and some underwear and socks.  Also, my green hat.  I will put my personal items such a as shampoo, conditioner, etc. into my backpack.  I also emailed Carrie's case manager, and her house manager and medical liaison about my plans with Bob's phone number in case they have any concerns.  I called Bob and left a message that he will be on call while I am away.   MONDAY:  First thing this morning, I got a haircut at SUPERCUTS....
