AWWW MONDAY - WEEKEND JUNE 7

WEELKEND 

Saturday it was still cold and wet, even though it wasn't raining. I quickly bought some grapes and kiwis and returned immediately. I arrived just in time to play cards with the others. At least that was a bit of fun in the afternoon.

 

Sunday was not better, and that terrible wind was still there, causing some damage; a tree even fell on a car on the highway.

Since our two entertainers had the day off, I sat in the restaurant for a while, thinking a few others would come too, but they were probably busy with their families. The only one there, was the good Italian mother, who was babbling nonsense, complaining that no one was picking her up and asking if I could drive her to her children. I answered as best I could, but then it got too much for me, and I went to Jeanine, who was happy, because  she'd been doing crossword all day and thought she was now cross-eyed.

Finally we chatted the whole afternoon, she was a farmer's daughter and had 4 brothers and 2 sisters. One brother took over the farm. She just had her 90th birthday but is very fit and needs no nurse at all. She stays here because she came with her very sick husband who died last year and she decided not to return and live alone in their house. Now she is happy because she likes it here as much as I do.
