"Time flies when you're having fun" and we must be having the funniest times of our lives now. Geez, Friday seems like yesterday and here it is according to the calendar five days past. I wouldn't want to "stop the world and let me off" but in able to fully enjoy all the time we have left we're going to be forced to get grumpy and not enjoy it so. I'm in no great hurry to get old and decrepit. Fun is stealing many minutes a day from us giving us less time to savor the life. Where in the world does all the time go?
I've got to gas up the tritoon before the visit of my sister, her husband and three others. They have already requested a ride about the lake. No step for a stepper.
Speaking of the lake........Going out on the lake is not something you would want to do alone if you've not been there before. Everything looks alike and there are so many coves, nooks and crannies that lost is a given near certainty. Unbelievably, from the first time out, Dory has been able to take the boat anywhere, all of the time knowing where she is and can always find her way back home without a struggle, or tell me where to go if I'm running the boat. Believe me that is unbelievable!
In the Casinos she never knows where the door is that we came in nor where the car is parked. Some of the lost car could be because I let her out at the door then park but not every time. She and Ruthie went to the grocery store the other day that only has two doors and a parking lot for only about thirty cars. They lost the car and spent several minutes finding it. Is that just a womanly trait?
The latest incident was a capper! It had been noticed that her Ladies Speed Stick had been failing her for some time but she had quit taking a medicine and consequently hot periods dot her days and nights pretty regularly so not much thought was given to the problem. She finally discovered the cause of the problem a couple days ago. Would you believe, when she is readying herself for the day she seldom wears her glasses but she did the other day and discovered the Speed Stick was completely and totally gone and must have been gone for some time leaving only the plastic holder. The bare plastic just wasn't doing the job. I guess you could say that for underarm protection a placebo won't work, at least for her.
Time is a cruel thief to rob us of our former selves. We lose as much to life as we do to death.~Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey
