Weekly Update 10/21/2018

The pool was closed for three days this week. And it was still quite hot, so I didn’t want to walk. I didn’t move at all this week. The temperatures have now become more autumn-like, and I fear my days of swimming are over for this year. I guess that’s a good thing as I won’t have to be seen in public in a swim suit for a few months.

Since I had some success with sewing lately, I decided I could still be as creative as I was in my past life. I discovered that I was wrong. I tried to make a costume for DH, in case I’m invited back for another Yellow Fever program, and if next time I’d need to have something other than my normal clothes. It was not successful. Lesson learned – you can’t do things like you used to any more, Wilma.

I attended two very nice lectures, one at City Hall, and one at TLC. At the monthly Hungry for History talk (a city program which is primarily for city employees and given by the archivist. Since I know her, she always invites me to her programs) featured the City’s collection of maps and surveys. In addition to the lecture, some old maps were available for viewing, and they were fascinating. At TLC, I attended a talk about Fort George, which is located near Darien, Georgia. It was first settled in 1722, before the city of Savannah, but was abandoned. There is still a re-created historic site there, and I have visited it, but that was a couple of years ago.

There were also two parties this week. One was at the MP clubhouse with a few residents sharing soups and chilis. The other was a 50^th wedding anniversary celebration for June and Jimmy, given by their sons. I had to arrive late to both events because of the Yellow Fever shows, but I was glad I went to them both.

On Sunday, I went to Coach’s. Jim and Connie met me there because both the Steelers and Falcons either had a bye week or weren’t playing in the afternoon. It was not crowded, and we didn’t have trouble finding a table together. Connie and Jim are from Chicago, so their game was much more a heart-breaker than the Bills romp. Buffalo seems to be getting worse and worse as the season goes by.
