Weekly Update 7/30/2023

So, remember that green dress I made last week because I wanted something easy and simple? Well, not exactly. I wore it once, and then had to wash it. I was hoping that the cotton polyester blend would be east to wash and dry. And it was. EXCEPT – it bled! I now have a lot of green undies. Nothing is ever easy and simple.

Barbara had a dentist appointment on Thursday. She moved away from Savannah years ago, but she still likes to come for some doctors and dentists. So, she stayed with me Wednesday night. It was good to catch up with her, and we went out to supper with Kay. I’m going to have to try to visit Barbara in Gainesville, GA, sometime, but I have so much traveling to do in the near future, it will be a while before I get there.

While preparing to go to The Wedding, I got a haircut and pedicure this week. The pedi is ok, but the haircut is horrible! I’ve wasted two years trying to get my hair at a length that I thought would would look best, and the last haircut before I really need it was a butcher job. I went to Great Clips, and got what I paid for. But, when I was going to the pricey salon for a while, I had a different stylist every time I went, and sometimes they didn’t do a good job. So I stopped paying four times as much as the cheap place. Sometimes Great Clips is good, but you kind of take your chances. This is awful!

I met the Green Square ladies on Friday morning. It’s been a while since Helen has been able to join us, so it was good to have the whole group together again. After that, I went out to lunch with my Wednesday Happy Hour group. We try to go to lunch once every month or so to celebrate any who have birthdays that month. That was nice.

I also went back to Bonaventure. Every month that has five weekends, I’m scheduled to be at the visitor center to answer questions and hand out maps. “Regular” volunteers can keep to the second Saturday or third Sunday routine, and I fill in on the fifth weekend. It was ok. Except that one tourist came in and complained that there were kittens in a tree. Yeah? And you want me to do what? I’m a map-hander-outer, not an animal control person. I took a photo and promised to report them. Which I did not do.

Annie and Adrian are adorable. I’m looking forward to seeing them again soon. I don’t know when I’ll have a chance to update this blog again, as I have trouble doing that on my iPad. It may have to wait until I get back from The Wedding, which is Friday, August 4. Until then...
