Snake River



North Bondurant


Let's see! We did a lot of things today. Not sure I can even remember it all. I've gone out a few times with Gina to feed the horses and love on Nube. She gets plenty of treats from her new mom.

Uninstalled that mouse software, thinking it might be the cause of the laptop running slow, and it is much better now. The laptop recognizes the mouse, so don't even need any software. (Not sure I want you to know, but I had the mouse upside down, so the arrow was moving backwards..... Now, I thought there was something terribly wrong or maybe I had bought a left hand mouse..... That took me a while to figure out..... actually not until Gina said the cord comes out the top!!)

Called the Boulder PO and asked Debbie if she would separate my mail and I will drive down once in a while to get it, she said they would. We got ready and went to town. Dropped by the lawyer's office, Stopped to make an appointment for an oil change for my car and getting it all serviced on Thursday. We went to the new multi-million dollar Aquatic Center to take a tour of the facility. Boy is it fancy, with two huge pools and spa, moving current, a climbing wall and a walking track on the 2nd floor, LOTS of other stuff. I did pack my swimming suit so we might go there to swim one day.

We had lunch with Judi at Rendezvous Pointe. They are leaving in the morning to go to Arizona and other places south to see their family and be gone for a month or so. She is certainly relieved not to worry about winter and shoveling their driveway for a while. It will probably be close to spring when they get back. Was glad to see Judi before they left. Rollie won a certificate for an ice cream cone at Rock Rabbit by answering a question on the radio, and gave it to me. So one of these days I'll go have a treat. Saw other friends there at lunch time too. I took a bunch of Joe's change - from when he empties his pockets after going to town - to the bank and turned it in for cash - got $115 in real money back.

Some people might think this is weird, and maybe even the funeral director did, but this afternoon I got an appointment to go visit with Curt about plans for my funeral. It wasn't upsetting or anything, just like doing business. Gina went with me, and asked some really good questions that I would never have thought of. Joe and our girls and I will visit a little bit about all the information and I'll probably get it paid for now so everything will be pre-arranged. And it will be set up in the paperwork for any possibilities that might happen, including being in Vegas, Salt Lake or wherever. Judi had researched and found out lots of information about death and dying. She asked a lot of people, the coroner, a lawyer, a doctor, an EMT, Curt, probably more, and used all her information to put on a seminar and panel disucssion titled ___I'll find out____. So we had the benefit ahead of time of all her work, do's and don't's etc.

We stopped by the P.O. where we saw Sue for a few minutes and came back "home" for a little while and then went back at 4 p.m. Gina went to see her friend Pat in the nursing wing again and I went in for my haircut appointment. I like the way the stylist cut my hair, and it is pretty short just the way I like it, but will be easy to take care of. We considered a spiky look, but didn't quite do that..... yet! What do you think? She is in the retirement center and only charged me $12. We went to the store and got Pat some mouthwash and took it to her. Back "home" and I called Debbie to tell her how everything was going and that I'd been to the funeral parlor and what we found out.

We had hor d'oveures - smoked oysters and crackers. Told Gina I thought this extra activity was good for me, though I am tired this evening. Tomorrow I'll have lunch with Joe, and see if he would like for me to grocery shop for him.

Today it got very warm with no wind to speak of. There were lots of puddles in the streets and melting snow and ice. Hard to think on a day like today that spring isn't here, but we know better. I feel unsure thinking that now I could drive in at home, but know its not going to stay that way. I was very tempted to go home for a while today, but went with the plan that we had for today. There was another beautiful sunset on the mountains. We've seen some colorful sunsets in the west the last several days. Talked to Joe again after dinner.
