The Island Girls are coming for dinner on Monday!
Did my kitchen floor and shopping today
I have to make tea sandwiches – I just can’t stop myself
They are bringing wine, appetizers, and dessert
I don’t know if this will be a logical dinner or not!
I think it will be more fun in the mystery!
P.S. One day, many years ago, Linda, Kathy, Rose, and I went to Kelley’s Island in Lake Erie. We rented a golf cart and laughed and laughed as we be-bopped all over the island. That is why we are the Island Girls!
Yesterday I had the blues. I could have napped on and off all day long.
When I woke up this morning, I looked at my nightgown and saw flamingos.
Then I decided that it would be a good day.
All day long when I started to negatively drift, I said to myself – this is a good day.
I have rarely experienced a turnaround this fast.
Redirecting my negative thoughts in an uncomplicated and nonjudgmental way was a miracle to me.
This is a good day, indeed!

It’s been a fun Barbie week!
Went to see the “Barbie” movie with Dottie and Mary Ellen
Took my commemorative Barbie doll to watch the movie with us!
Wore a pink gingham shirt to match my Barbie doll’s dress
Took photos with the poster
Lots of moviegoers had pink on and Barbie T-shirts
Yesterday I went to see the movie for the second time with David, Rose, and Maribeth (daughter)
I even liked it better the second time, so did my Barbie doll
There’s a surprise ending, but that’s all I am saying!
Leaving Siesta Key in the morning!
So grateful for a two week vacation – you can really settle in
Spent time with my dear Diane Tygard this afternoon

Loved it, but I can see how people get hooked on it!
