Dentist/Jessica Michna/Dinner with Shirley

 Tuesday, October 29, 2024

I had my first appointment with Dr. Swathi Gola, who I'm going to love.  Cheri French recommended her with good reason.  At first the attendant did not believe that I was 92, neither did Dr. Gola.  I had some X-rays, then Dr. Gola cleaned my teeth, reporting that my teeth were in very good condition.  Another person finished by polishing.  I really appreciated leaving without writing a check.

With all the promotion I did, the room was full to see Jessica Michna portray Eleanor Roosevelt.  Everyone really appreciated the program. Jessica began when Eleanor was a young girl, continuing as a wife of a governor, member of the cabinet and president.  She included her heartache when learning of Franklin's infidelity and how she survived.  It was a touching story. 

I played some sheepshead and lectored at 4:00 p.m. mass.

Shirley Bascom offered to stay with Marleen Morgan while Dwight attended a meeting. Shirley invited Win Thrall and me to come to the dinner with the food that Dwight prepared: Shephard's Pie and homemade bread.  We had wine while waiting for Dwight who came just as we began serving.  We had a pleasant meal with interesting conversation and lemon squares for dessert.
