Catching Up

Ok, WOW what a week. Have been SO busy. The best part of this week was my Red Hat day out. We met for a marvelous lunch at Hunans in Alpena, where they have the most wonderful food. They have a buffet that has everything you could ask for on it. AND I got to visit with my Red Hat sisters. They are all great and fun to be around. Marialaina was wearing a purple hat (for those of you that dont know the protocol, you wear red hats all the time UNLESS it is your birth month. THEN you wear a purple one, so that everyone knows it is your birthday). Anyway she had on the cutest little purple hat with netting and floosies all on it. I complimented her on her hat and told her happy birthday. She informed me that it was NOT her birthday but since this was the 10 year anniversary/birthday of the Red Hatters, she was allowed to wear it. So I reminded her that THAT was LAST YEAR 2008. We laughed about it and had to share that with our sisters. TOO FUNNY. After we had finished our main course, the owner sent us out a platter of fruit. It was beautiful and he had carved a horse out of a butternut squash that was standing on his hind legs as if he was guarding the fruit. It made us feel special and I thought it was such a nice token of appreciation by Jimmy.
So then we all head over to our local beauty school for an afternoon of pampering. We had the choice of facials, pedicures, and manicures. I had the pedicure and it was totally awesome. My feet are still soft and silky with beautiful burgundy nails. Our hosts for the month also brought along some sparkling juice and chocolate dipped strawberries and truffles for us to munch on while we were getting pampered. It was just so relaxing and I felt like I had been rejuvenated when I left. Thanks go out to the gals that planned this and did such a wonderful job on it.
Garry is still in Texas with Uncle Jack and he seems to be getting better according to the last report I received from Troll Boy. I am so glad he was able to go and be there for them. Oh yeah and have I told you?? I LOVE HIM. Teeeheeee
The flu is still at work and another of our residents had it this week. She wasn't as bad as some of the others, but still, sick is sick. It is not a pleasant thing for anyone.
SO I get this call from my daughter asking me if I had forgotten anyone in my blog. Of course thinking it was HER she wanted me to write about I played dumb. That is when she informed me of my OTHER brother Willie P. I have NOT forgetten about him, he just has NOT entered the picture yet. In my story, he has not even been thought of yet, much less put in this earth. SO you all will hear about him as well, eventually. AND I do have another step brother, Steve, that you will hear about as well. If anyone else can think of anyone they want me to write about , just let me know and I am sure I can work them in. TEEHEEE TEEHEEEE
