I'm still using the laptop loaned to me, and it's kind of balky. Sometimes it won't let me access this blogspot, but here I am for the fan club. Don't remember if I wrote that my granddaughter, Katrina has joined the US NAVY as a "Senior Recruit". She is attending boot camp at Great Lakes, Illinois...same place I went to in 1942. What goes around, comes around. She is continuing the military tradition in the Ross family. Part of the family is the USS HIGGINS, the guided missile destroyer named for my son-in-law. It has been in combat in Iraq and is now deploying in the Pacific. No doubt that Katrina will some day be an Admiral.
On Saturday, Rhoda will be celebrating her 70th...she's not too happy about rattling that particular number around in her head...but what's the alternative?
Friday we'll be going out to dinner, and on Saturday we have tickets to a show at the clubhouse. My birthday also comes this month on the 27th and I'm only 16 years away from being 100, a number I'm looking forward to because no doubt I'll have a big party with balloons and stuff and lots of presents like viagra and cialis and levitra. A 100 is a big number...it wasn't too long ago that I won my 100th soccer game. Monday I went to the City of Hope's paid up membership luncheon in the clubhouse. There were about 100 women present and two guys. As it happened I won five dollars in the raffle. Boys and girls from West Boca H.S. came to entertain. They were terrific and made me wish I was back teaching every day. But that's not going to happen. There's no stopping ageing--it comes on like a tsunami, and you'd better be prepared to ride the waves.
