Weather Warnings

We all know there is little or nothing one can do about weather, like it or not, it is ours to put up with and this past few days it has been stormy along the western seaboard.    Ends of hurricanes, big seas, heavy rain which all amounts to weather . . . whether we like it or not.    Here at Ridgemont we lost the lights for awhile and just as we got out all the weather stuff we were back to normal and all was right with our world.  We didn't go outside our rooms as there was fear the elevators would stop working.   I don't think it would be fun to be stuck in an elevator.  The television was back on line so everyone hunkered down and watched "How The West Was Won" one more time.  Gina and Samantha didn't want anyone outside their rooms as some cannot go without a walker and the stairs would be lethal for them.   They served dinner to each room and deserve high praise for taking such good care of all of us.   They truly care and it shows.  How lucky we are to have them.  All in all it proved to be a lazy day and nothing got in the way of a snooze in the chair.    

When you have days like that there is nothing happening to write about.    Everyone here at Ridgemont hunkers down and stays put.  A few venture up the hallway to exchange a goodie or a paper, but most stay in and have a lazy day.    Vinnie came down to make sure I was okay.   He brought a cup of grapes  and stopped at my candy dish to fill up . . . a wise man. . . he means well....smile.  Ron stopped by with a page from the newspaper which has the cryptoquote I like to do.    One look out the window gazing at the storm was enough to keep us all in, safe and sound.  I couldn't walk out so went to one of the exercise machines and did my thirty laps.  I am working toward fifty, then a hundred, if. . . a big if. . . .but it feels good to move the muscles.   

So I am going to love you and leave you to your special events of the day.   I haven't opened the blinds as yet so have no idea what is going on out there.   I think we are do for more weather but I am content to stay put.   There is a wedding today but I decided not to attend.  The girls will go and tell me all about it.   I find I am not 'in the mood' to go out and about for large events;  sort of like smaller and slower ones;  must be getting old.   smile.

I spent my sleeping hours dreaming of stocking shelves with cups and dishes, rearranging, and woke up not remembering if I got the job done or not.    Dreams.....strange.

Have yourself a good day.    Make sure you make someone you like and love happy today.   There is a good deed that needs to be done and only you can do it.  Get busy and find out just what you are suppose to do today.    Open those arms, let someone walk in and be smothered in your love.   Don't forget the verbal hugs;  someone you  know and love is in need of one today.   You have plenty, so share . . . share you with those you like and love.     Hugs to all.
