Weekly Update 9/26/2021

I met a friend for lunch on a rainy Monday. I did Davenport House on Wednesday. I met in Green Square on Thursday. I drove Kay to a doctor appointment on Friday. All the usual.

Then, the weekend.

I got up really early Saturday to be at the Walk to End Alzheimer s by 8:30. I was walking alone, but I enjoyed watching all the other participants. I didn’t get a t-shirt, or a packet; that’s not what I was there for. I gave them my check, picked my flower (I choose purple. Every color meant something different – purple for the walkers who had lost someone to Alzheimer’s, yellow for someone who is a care giver for someone, orange for walkers who just want to support the cause, and blue for someone who has the disease), and got ready to walk around the lake. The route was only a mile and a half, and the pace was leisurely, but it was a lovely day, and I was glad I went.

In the evening, I drove back to Thunderbolt to meet Helen, Denise and Jane at a Thai food restaurant before picking up June and going out to the Tybee Post Theater for a performance of Golden Girls Gone Wilder. This drag show is so very funny! I have seen the original Golden Girls show, and a Designing Women show by this group. The audience was laughing and clapping, and everyone had a wonderful time. Since they’ve done several shows here, I imagine they will be back again, and I will be sure to attend those shows, too.

Sunday, I met Larry, Vicki and Patsy for brunch. They moved to the interior of Georgia last year, but still come to Savannah occasionally. I was great to see them. Jane and Helen met with us, too. Then, I drove back out to Tybee Beach. Another friend, Connie, moved to North Carolina about a year ago, and she was in town. I sat on the beach with her and Denise for a couple of hours in the afternoon.

So, I didn’t get to see the Bills play. It wasn’t a very exciting game, I don’t think. But I truly missed being in the bar to watch the Browns win, and Chiefs and Steelers lose. But, I had a chance to visit with good friends, and they are more important to me that watching a game on tv. I guess.
