"Breakfast Group"

 

Tuesday, April 2

Steady rain throughout the day.

Played sheepshead and read at mass; not a whole lot more.

Some kickback on our Breakfast "Group"; Cookie Anderson is organizing a What's Going On "Group".

Wednesday, April 3

The Marquette "Get to Know" program featured Library Director Joan Johnson, who told of her remarkable career leading up to her current position.

Afterward, I played sheepshead.

Not much happening: Dominoes and the cocktail hour hosted by East Castle to make us aware of their rehab services.

Friday, April 5

Before going to pick up my new glasses at Milwaukee Eye Care, I stopped at Charlotte's apartment to see if she needed anything.  She was involved in a car accident on Easter Sunday.  She gave me her audio CDs to return to the Shorewood Library.  

The man brought my new glasses and put them on his desk.  The looked unusually thick.  He told me to try them on and told me to read from a chart that he handed me.  The whole thing looked blurred.  The doctor entered the wrong prescription.

I returned the CDs to the desk because I didn't know if they go in the drop box; I also asked if CDs could be dropped off at any library, and they can.  As I was leaving, the librarian called after me to let me know that CD 1 was missing.  I'm glad that I made that little stop talking to the librarian

A group of us read two plays in the club room.

Saturday, April 6

My new neighbor Linda came down for breakfast, and a nice group filled the table; we needed an extension. I had my hair cut.  Next to drop off Charlotte's audio disc at the Franklin Library.  I wanted a basil plant, but the ones at P & S on 76th and Rawson looked limp and brown.  Sendik's on Rawson were very nice.  I used so much energy looking for things in an unfamiliar store.  I would never have found sun dried tomatoes without help. I was pretty worn out when I reached my car.  Then drive home, unpack and put everything away.

Peter and I went to the Bavarian Bierhaus to celebrate "half way to Octoberfest".  We tasted the tapped beer and had half steins of our own.  I had a Bavarian wiener, Peter had some sausage.

Peter came over to try his Spanish disk in his laptop.  It is a very nice learning tool for Spanish words.
