TOOT, TOOOOT! CHUG, CHUG, CHUG! Here comes the Train to Thinsville down the track into your station, so hop on board and enjoy the ride.
This morning is 76* and sunny and going up to 94* and sunny with winds S 15-25 mph.
Today is my birthday and its hard to believe I turned 85. I don't think we have any special plans for today, but I suspect MJ and the girls have some plans. I'm happy to say it is a beautiful sunny day.
I'm not surprised that I find I'm becoming more forgetful every day. My mom and DSis Ruth had the same problem. I finally stopped doing the bill paying because I'd forget to mark it on my calendar. Hannah is keeping track of all that now and MJ writes the checks or pays on line instead of me. This same thing happened to my mom and DSis so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Auntie Acid: Thursday June 27: I'm putting myself in a "time out" until I can play nice with others... This could take a while.

Good morning!
Happy Birthday, Doris! I am so glad you have a nice, sunny day for your birthday! I wish I could bake you a cake. Do you like the chocolate sheet cake with chocolate pecan icing? Or would you rather have angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream? Hannah is such a precious girl. When you talk about her lawn-mowing, laundry carrying, cooking, and now keeping track of all the bills! Wow! You have a prize!
Today DH and I will meet my cousins for an early lunch. We plan to go to a little diner nearby. It will be good to be together. DH and my cousin's DH get along very well, too. We have no other plans, but to pick up more prescriptions. They seem to be never-ending.
DD has two more days of work, and then maybe she can rest. She has had a difficult recovery from gall bladder surgery. Hope she will be fit soon.
Be happy today!
Diane

Good morning Doris & ATF,
Sunny and currently 83; the high for today will be 90.
Happy birthday Doris! Enjoy your special day! Doris we all get forgetful as we age. I forget things too and I'm 79. There is also history in my family of Alzheimer so I read a lot. You do also and my mom's doctor told us that was good. Keep your brain working.
No plans for today other than going to the grocery store later after street cleaning. I don't want to lose my spot on the good side. When I get back I'll be able to park in my handicap spot.
Have a great day!

Diane,
I hope your DD will be able to get some rest and recover from her gall badder surgery now.
Thanks for the good birthday wishes. I love chocolate cake, but the icing would have to be without pecans since Hannah is allergic to nuts.
Hannah is a prize and she does everything without complaining. We really appreciate her willingness to do things. We have two neighborhood boys who came by and asked about doing our lawn mowing, so she doesn't have that job anymore. They quoted a price we couldn't refuse to do that job.

Emily,
I'm glad you can park in a handicap spot and don't have to hunt for a parking place. I understand the need to do the street cleaning too.
Enjoy your quiet day today.
Doris

Connie,
That slice of ice cream pie looks good enough to eat! Yum! Can you tell its almost lunch time?
For my birthday dinner I requested cheese burgers for most of us and plain hamburgers for those who prefer that.

Happy Birthday Doris, you are amazing. Did you get your cheese burger? And you do have a treasure in Hannah!
It's getting hot, isn't it? I'm so thankful for air conditioning. I did get a walk before going to the Y and it was nice.
This week a man died who was older when he was my Sunday School teacher as a child. He just turned 100 last week. He gave my dad a retirement job and my dad died in 1989. 30 years ago he gave Matt his first summer job and then taught him to work. I just realized he was 70 then! He got married when he was 32 and stayed married for 68 years. I saw him last year at the church where I grew up and he was using a walker and getting around by himself. People are amazing!

Helen,
We're doing my birthday supper tonight. I'm not sure what is on the menu tonight, since I'm leaving it up to the girls to decide what we will have to go with our burgers.
Right now MJ is out with the girls and Hannah and Rachael are practicing driving while Sarah watches.
The 100 year old man you described sounds amazing. I hope if I live to be that old I'll be able to keep doing things.
Doris

I have followed reading these boards for many years but seldom respond verbally to anyone. Today I was reminded that Doris and I share the same monthly date
for our birthdays but I am a few years older at 89. Best wishes to her and all of you!!!
