Monday

The rains lifted and the sun shone and the people were glad.  It was warm today and is forecast to get very nice by Wednesday.
  We got off to an early start as we had some errands to run.  Our first was to try and find some post op footwear to take home with us.  I did some research on line and found numerous places that were supposed to have then in their stores, but when we got there that was not always the case.  When we found some it took us several tries and miles to find the ones Marg thinks will be the right ones.  The size selection and the design were the main reason we had to keep chasing around.  It was also complicated as these sell singly and the store with the ones we liked only had one in the right size.  The salesman said they are supposed to be getting more in within a day or two, so with any luck we will get a pair this week. 
  After we went to the cable company to settle the latest bill for services, always a fun place.  We have learned to never go there first thing in the morning, as old folks are morning people and are generally lined up at the door in the morning.  Late morning is usually better, but it seems there was a guy ahead of Marg who was considering switching to the cable co. and had many questions, ultimately leaving without making a decision. 
  By then we were out of time, so went home for lunch.  After lunch I went to play pool and ended up playing one of the biggest sharks in the tank.  I had some respectable games, I think I won a few, but certainly lost more than I won.  He's quite a character and fun to play, so it was all good.  Marg was having a lady over to cut her hair as well as that of another lady in the park.  This is the same hairdresser that has come here in past years as well as earlier this year.  Marg is satisfied with the way she cuts her hair, so prefers this to taking chances at beauty salon's around here..  She also had to get the chicken wings started in the slow cooker that she was taking as our contribution to the block party/pot luck today. 

She was still busy at 4, so I went to happy hour at Jerry's place.  His place is on Bobcat lane, where the block party was being held, so we wouldn't be late for it.  It was a real success with over 100 coming out to party.  there was lots of food and some of it was even good.  There were lots of dessert choices and they were the best part, in my opinion.
