"In her eye there hath appeared a fire..."(Much Ado About Nothing)

I'm a little late with this blog, but that's the way it seems nowadays. I never have time during the day to write. I just noticed that I have posted about 55 blogs since I started back in August. I am enjoying this very much: it gives me a chance to review the day and express my thoughts and feelings about many things. Of course, I don't know what's going to happen with all the past blogs, but if someone new wants to start out from the beginning, it should read like a book...a diary, I guess.

Well, today, Rhoda went to the doctor for her "pre-op". Her eye surgery will happen on Oct. 4. We'll all hope that it turns out more successful than her last cataract removal. She only has minimal vision in her left eye and can only read large print books. We simply refuse to imagine her not being able to read. So, keep your fingers crossed. I suppose that last makes this a mixed metaphor; perhaps keeping your eyes crossed will fix it. But never mind.

After she left the doctor's office I met her for breakfast; that is for her lunch and my breakfast; it was 11:30am. I usually sleep till 10 or 11, but the cleaning ladies got here before 11 so I got out of the house and met her at the bagel place.

For the past three years I've been playing golf with a group from the Tuscany Bay community on Mondays during "the season". Last year we played at the executive course at Kings Point, but a few of the people complained it was too short a course. Consequently, Zoe Sindel, the President of that golf club...who spends the summer up north, commandeered me to find a place to play. I tried three courses and they all charged $45 for greens fees. No way, Jose! I finally made a deal at Marina Lakes for under $30 if we start at 11:30 which is fine for me. But the big "But" is that I don't know if I can play anymore because of the walking involved. If I walk a little ways, most of the time I develop severe pain in my hip and buttocks area and I must stop until the pain subsides. So, come January 7, Monday, 11:30, we'll see what happens.
