On one of our motorcycle trips, we went to Mt. Rushmore

This was another great day and I know you are going to ask why, so, I won't play around like I did yesterday, I will just tell you right off the bat.  One more thing about Gini that I forgot to say, was, what a great job she does with all her clients.  Pieper, our Maltese,  loves to chase her tail and make loud noises, sometimes so loud we can't hear the T.V.  When I am at my computer she loves to sit in my lap and go to sleep.  And then there is Sandy our Cocker that  is so funnyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzoops I must stay focused. Now, for those of you who don't know, in our church, we have what's called Visiting Teachers that visit another Sister (that's what we call each other, especially if we forget their names) in our Ward. ( I will explain what a Ward is at the end).  We go by two's ( like myself and my partner) and we are assigned anywhere from 1 to 4 sisters to see each month, like my partner and myself have 3 sisters we visit.  We call and make appointments and spend a short time in their homes and give them a spitual message. 
My visiting teachers came to see me today and we had a great time. Their visits are just a bit longer than a short time, because, I talk  their ears off, only because, I don't want to put on a front when they are here, so I do what I do best, and that is, talk and talk and talk. I am just an open book with some things, not all things. I was telling them about my chemo sessions and Lucy ( isn't that just a cute name) said if I ever needed someone to take me,she would love to, and I said, "are you sure you want to sit with me for two and a half hrs. and listen to me talk".  Well, I gave her an out, and that was, she could always go to the nurse and ask her to slip me something just to make me drowsy so she could have a break.  They were asking me questions about what will be done after my four sessions of chemo and I said I'm not sure but I will probably have a scat can, oops cat scan.  They thought that, slip of tongue, was very funny.  Lucy's partner is Kimmie, a very good listener, sorry Kimmie.
A Ward is a congregation, made up of people, within a geographical area. Our Ward has between 300 and 400 people.



GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT SENIORS

1) Growing older is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food.  I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You're getting older when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.



THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Take a 10-30 min. walk every day, and while you walk, smile.
It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
Try to make at least three people smile each day.
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a
college student with a maxed out charge card.
