Update 4/4/2021

Happy Easter!

My Easter Sunday, like the rest of this past week, was quiet and uneventful. It was a little cooler this week, so I read in the comfort of my own living room, not at the pool all week. Sunday, I did get out to take a nice drive with Kay in the afternoon. I ate a ham sandwich and a slice of Publix carrot cake. To many, that doesn’t sound like a very good Easter feast, but for me, it was just perfect. Tomorrow, I’ll have to put all the baskets and eggs back in storage until next year.

I met my friends at the Creekside for drinks on Wednesday this week. The weather was pleasant enough for us to sit on the patio, and that also made it more comfortable for some of the group who hesitate to meet inside when it’s not possible to social distance. So, the group was large, and it was a nice evening with friends.

Thursday, I had my usual meeting at Green Square. Not only was it cold, but it was very windy. Helen, who lives on Green Square, suggested we go inside at her house to visit. Then she took us on a tour of her wonderful garden. The wisteria was marvelous. She has a green thumb, for sure. Last week I bought a hyacinth at the Publix, and it bloomed. The fragrance was overwhelming, but in a nice way. I do not have a green thumb, but I guess even I couldn’t deter this little flower.

I’d signed up to join in a book club meeting at The Learning Center. I haven’t been there in a year, and they have opened a brand new building since I last darkened their door. I found the front door (which is now in the back) and the room (which is a new multi-media area). A few seniors attended in person, and a few opted to join via zoom. As I sat there, I thought this must be what it’s like in school – some people learning in the same room, but wearing masks and sitting far away from each other, and some people on a big screen at the front of the room, in their living rooms. It felt strange to me; it must be strange to an 8 or 9 year old, too! Or maybe not.

Since I had some time to kill between Green Square and TLC, I went to a restaurant I haven’t been to in a while – Betty Bombers. I do not like to go out to eat alone, but this was ok. I got my fish sandwich (my favorite thing to order there) and sat in the corner, playing games on my phone.
