Weekly Update 4/2/2023

My hearing right hearing aid went belly up again this week. This is really getting old – it’s hard enough for me to get out and walk, but if I don’t have my tunes to listen to, it’s impossible. I’ve had only one ear working as I made my way through the different walking paths this week. Buddy Holly and the Rolling Stones don’t sound the same if they’re not in stereo! I made an appointment at Beltone on Tuesday, and I was ready to do battle. She was very nice, and didn’t even fight with me at all. She just took the hearing aid, and she’s going to return it and get a replacement. I hope to have it back this week.

After I left the Beltone store, I walked over to the Tanger Outlet. I try to find places to walk to when I’m out to keep myself from being too bored walking around the same neighborhoods all the time. I had no intention of buying of anything, but I found a t-shirt in Old Navy that was only $3, so I couldn’t resist that. I also found a rather nice dress that I think would be suitable for The Wedding. This was a very strange store, however, as the sizes were 0, 1, 2, and 3. I guess 0 is the same as small, and 1 is medium and so on. I should have a bought it in size 3 (X-Large) just to have it in my closet with the big 3 on the back label! I may go back.

I didn’t need to go to DH on Thursday, as someone else had requested to do tours that morning. They called Friday morning, however, as someone else wasn’t going to be able to show up in the afternoon. So I went in for those tours. It was just like old times – a Friday afternoon full of tours. And, when I finished, I went to The 90. Yup, just like old times.

Since there wasn’t a lot on my calendar for the week, I wanted to see what I could find out about Helen’s house, and Jane and Catherine Deveaux. I went to the main library on Bull Street twice, to the Georgia Historical Society Research Center once, to my own library to search Ancestry.com, and to Laurel Grove South Cemetery. I couldn’t find much information about the women or the school that they had. It was interesting to see what I could find. I think I’ve hit a dead end, but I may look a little more later.

Adrian and Annie attended an Easter Egg hunt on the weekend. I’m not sure just how much Adrian understood about it, and Annie just slept. It looked like a good time, though.
