Weekly Update 3/20/2016

I have very little to write this week, because I did very little. I have been suffering with allergies. I haven’t gone outside unless I've had to and I've slept A LOT! I should have taken a picture of my car, but I had to wash it before I could get in it to drive - you could hardly see through the windshield for all the pollen.

On Monday, before my nose and eyes got really bad, I did get to the pool for the first time this season. I was only there for about an hour because many other residents had the same I idea I had and wanted to enjoy the sunshine. And, I try to be very careful the first few times I go and not overdo it and suffer with a sunburn.

Thursday was St Patrick's Day in Savannah - a HUGE event. So, in addition to not wanting to go out, I would not have ventured downtown all day anyway. I watched the parade on tv. Just after supper, there was a little knock on the door, and my neighbor in 4208 Walden Park Drive handed me a package that had been delivered to them by mistake. The return address was Savoia Pastry Shop! I called Ishy to thank her, but she claims she hadn't been the one to send them. So this is a mystery. But I LOVED the great Italian butter cookies! There is nothing like that in Savannah! So, if you're reading this and are responsible for sending me the cookies - Thank You!

Saturday morning, I had to go out early to unlock the visitors center at BC. The Wilmington Island Farmers Market moved to the school right across the highway from me, so I stopped there on my way back home. It was a little disappointing, as there were soaps, framed photographs, doggie treats, and bakery products, while only three booths actually had produce. I bought some strawberries that weren't too bad , some Brussels sprouts, and a tomato. Nothing I couldn't really get at the Publix, but now I can feel that I support “local” farmers.

Sunday evening, Donna invited Barbara and me to her home for a nice dinner and then to watch the video of Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil. Barbara lives in Mercer Point, but has only recently moved to Savannah, so she knew very little about the story. That was a nice way to end this miserable week.

I plan to have a better week next week.
