09/28/15 -  On 9/25, I caught up with a dear friend of my named Judy.  We had not seen each other for quite some time. We had mexican food for lunch and caught up with what has been happening with each of us.  It was a wonderful time

9/26 - went to a restaurant called the Melting Pot which is a fondue restaurant.  It was really nice.  There was 4 of us and we were celebrating Laura's birthday.  In attendance was Laura, Anne, Rosemary and myself.  I have attached a picture:

9/27/15 - I had lunch at an indian restaurant with a good friend/ex-employee who I also had not seen for quite some time.  We also had a wonderful visit as well.  I have attached a picture:

09/23/15 - On 9/17, I left for Denver in the afternoon.  When I arrived my friends Annie and Bob picked me up at the transit station and we went for a rib dinner.  It was delicious.  When we got back to Annie's house she noticed that one of her cats appeared not to be in normal behavior mode so we watched Wolfie a little and then she decided to check the internet and soon we decided we needed to get him some medical care.  We found a 24 hour urgent care.  After examination, it was determined that the little fellow needed to stay for the night.  There was lab work, x-ray, catheter.

9/18 - Annie was told he probably had crystals in his urine and it would take a couple of days to make sure that will clear.  We ran some errands, saw the movie "Grandma" with Lily Tomlin.  Later in the evening Annie and Boj went to the animal hospital to see how Wolfie was doing.

9/19 - We left for Pueblo at 9:00am. The trip was good and we actually had time to grab a little lunch before the 1:00pm wedding.  The wedding was very nice and I saw a lot of people.  The reception was very nice as well.  The family needed to clean up the reception room so I was able to help with some of the clean up.

09/20 - The family gather together at a sister's house for the day and some of the out of towners were there are well.  It was a nice time to relax and visit.

9/21 - Louie took me all over Pueblo to some of my old stomping grounds and it was unbelievable how things had changed.  I did recognize Aunt Ada's old house, two of my apartment complexes, and the hospital had changed so much I could not really find anything familiar.  Got to see where Louie's mother was raised and where some of the extended family members lived.  We then did some lunch with sister Deb and niece Katie.  In the evening we all got together at a Chinese restaurant for dinner.  I really had a great time.

9/22 - Paula, Deb, Mom, Louie and I left for Denver at 10:00am to catch planes to return home.  We stopped off at Castlerock to exchange some goods and Paula, Deb and Louie did some shopping, we had lunch and arrived at the airport at 3:30pm.  Louie and I were leaving 12 minutes apart and in the same terminal.  Louie has a membership to the American Airline club so we went in and relaxed a bit before leaving.    A wonderful week end has ended!!

                                               The Morrone Family - Bride's Family

09/16/15 - On 9/15, I met my financial advisor for lunch and things are good at that end for this year.
In the evening, I met Louise for Italian food.  I only had soup since I had such a big lunch.

Tonight, met my friends, Laura and Anne for dinner before I leave for Denver tomorrow.  I will not be taking the computer so I will not be blogging until I return to San Diego on 9/22.

09/14/15 - On 9/12, I went out to dinner with the managers from a former employer (Inland East).  We have known each other for about 25 years and still keep in touch.  There were 10 of us and it was a wonderful evening.  Afterwards, Stu, Betty and I stopped off at a dessert/coffee shop for some coffee (I had an ice white tea) and a piece of cake and cupcake.  Stu's birthday is on 9/13 and Betty's is on 9/19 so we were kinda celebrated their birthdays.

9/13 - I did very little.

9/14 - started my day with a doctor's appointment at 10:30am.  It was a thorough exam.  I got some lab work done, have a mammogram scheduled plus she is going to do an x-ray on the right knee since I have been having some pain in that knee.  I am sure it is arthritis but she wants to be sure.  I lost the battle today with my blood pressure.  It has slowly been going up and today I ended up having to start meds.  I made they take the pressure twice but it was still the same (180/98!!).  So I have to go back in two weeks to have it checked again to see if the low dose is sufficient.  I sure hope so.  As I was running some errands, I remembered that I was suppose to get a stool collection kit and my prolia shot so I ended driving back to the office for the rest of my stuff!!  Prolia is for my osteoarthritis/osteopenia.  Oh well, the trials of getting OLD!!

09/12/15 - On 9/9,  I invited Louise over for dinner and it was a rather hot day so with my baking some chicken, the RV got quite warm but we survived.

9/10 - I went to the office to see the dermatologist because I had some spots on my face.  They have completely changed the office around but I did see some familiar faces.  I had packed a lunch and after my visit, I decided to go to the beach thinking that it might be a little cooler but it really wasn't.  I did put my umbrella up and sat and enjoyed my book and the waves for about two hours.

Tonight plans are to go out with some old friends for dinner.

9/7/15 - On 9/2,  I rested and then went out for Mexican food with a friend, Louise.

9/3 - I just ran a few errands that included the post office and grocery store.

9/4 - I met with Mark to discuss some minor repairs for the RV and to put on an electric awning.  It was determined that he would accept the RV on 10/2 and keep it until I return from the cruise on 10/18 which is perfect so I only have to stay with friends for two nights.  Around the corner from his RV repair shop is also a large truck repair shop and they can do my DOT sticker the same day.  Louise invited me over for dinner.

9/5 -   I was invited over to Anne and Laura's place for a celebration since Anne's father has retired.
All of Anne's siblings and some of the family members were in attendance.  It was so good to see her brother from Tucson and her Mom and Dad again.  It was a lovely evening.

9/6- Did not do anything but tried to remove tar from my car but have been unsuccessful so far so will stop off at a auto store to ask some more questions.  I did wash my windows.

Today, I went with Sharon and Dave (Sharon was a former co-worker) and we went down to the bay and took in the Festival of Tall Sail Ships.  It was really interesting and we did a lot of walking.

I have attached a picture:

09/01/15 - Today I left San Bernadino at 10:45am.  The traffic was fairly heavy on both the 215 and 15 freeways and also there was an accident for I did not get to the campground until 1:05pm.  By the time, I got checked in and backed into the spot myself it was close to 2:00pm.  There was a nice breeze so it was not near as hot, so decided to just hook everything up.  I then had a late lunch, made a few phone calls, took a shower and now plan to do NOTHING since it has been a busy day.  It feels good to be parked now for a while.
