Catching Up

The sunset is bestowing a benediction to end this day in every shade of lavender and gold and radiant blue. I am reminded of another passing day that now is an accumulation of 80 times 365. And still counting. My eighth decade launched last month. I'm a little surprised and deeply appreciative.

One wonderful communication and remembrance after another from family and friends went on and on. Every single one was welcome. A couple of pictures to remind me...

Dessert at the farm after a very satisfying meal out with Wendy and family.

The Landis Supermarket ran out of zeros, so Wendy and Aidan substituted a nine and hid the tail.

Marge texted this one to me when she took me out to a meal.

Aidan, back from a month at Michigan State music institute, came over and lugged the 100# TV stand box from my car to the apartment; then, put it all together!!! I couldn't even budge the stand lying out there in my car until he picked the thing up. So many have helped and generously contributed to make my new home comfortable and livable. 


After the stand construction, we walked to the Bistro to get carry-out. Had a minute to stop off and shoot some pool in the billiards room, too. Later on, when Keoni was back from his summer music, the three of us shot some pool together with our own made up rules.

Here are a few pix of the apartment...





Plants now are on an inexpensive find from the resale shop next to the lobby of our building. The beautiful handmade scarves are from there as well.
Will I ever do an HGTV "Reveal" moment? Of course not. It's too much fun doing the rest of "upsizing" in smaller doses and it may go on until I'm in decade nine.

Pat, Marge and I went up the the Allentown Art Museum. Here are a couple of unforgettables...

Sol LeWitt.






Rigo Peralta loved his grandma, too...



Well, the color of the sky has given over to darkness. It's time to wrap this up tonight and continue updating some more later. 

I'll be back!
