catch-up


Sunday came and Sunday went...I wanted to awake earley...get a fresh start of the day,,,see my Mom in the hospital- (she is doing great by the way) and head on the road up to Rome Ny by 9;30. I was still in bed at 9;30 sleeping great. I believe I am finally trying to catch up on all the sleep I have deprived my body of these past 20 years. I forced my self up at 9;35,,,threw a pair of jeans on,,,way to big but I convinced my self I would be comfortable in a size 14 for riding in the blazer the 3 hours on the road. Packed a bag for the hotel--swim suit and gym clothes. I kinda felt like a bum. Nothing was looking Sheik. I arrived at my little sisters house by 1;30pm. She had plans for me to go play Bingo at her church. {J} was taking my nephew up to Pulaski to the fish hatchery,,,I wanted to go there but knew I needed to spend quality time with my sister. And it was fun. I like Bingo I play it regularly at least once every five years. Came very close to shouting out "BINGO",,,,but never did make it. What I did notice that day is how Margaret is so much like me. Caring and compassionate with a great sense of humor. She made a special Chicken dinner dish and brought that with us along with plates and utensils. When intermission came she gave a plate to all at our table,,,and also to this mentally challenged man at the next table. On the way over to the church she warned her twins not to make fun of the retarded man. Her twins are 12 years old and at the age where kids can be kids. Her kids are great thou-- she really should be proud of them. Micheal her other son who is 15 was with {J},,,he has a lot of hard issues to deal with but he is a super great kid. He had brain surgery last year and also had a diabetic pump put in and is doing really well with that. {J} found it hard that at 15 he could not tell time being so smart in other ways. Margaret has another son who is away at college,,,hopefully he will be home on Thanksgiving and we will get to see him., The picture today is from our hotel room on the 19Th floor. It was at Turning Stone casino....we had a view of the thruway. I never got to use the pool or hot tub or gym---time just flew by by the time we finally got to our room. We ate at the buffet and {J} pigged out and got both of our money's worth. I had a piece of pork,,a slice of beef,,,spoon full of carrots and a salad of just lettuce and sunflower seeds. Trying to stick to my healthy diet. Speaking of healthy any creative writing I started out here trying to do as fell asleep before me,,,so I shall join it and continue on to this at a later date....Happy Trails!!!!%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%"Hello, is this the Sheriff's Office?"> >> >> > "Yes.
