What a wonderful 65th I had!!! Kathy called me in the morning of my birthday and asked if I would like to go to lunch, which of course I leaped to!! Then she asked where we should go.
One year ago she took me to that awesome garden/gift shop/cafe called the Pond for lunch. Then on her birthday in April I took her there for lunch. So we went there again this birthday. Its TRADITION!!!
After a lovely lunch we stopped at a couple of interesting stores. One of them was like a very badly organized Liquidation World. There was crap of all types...from food, to gum boots, to tires, to drinks, to.....well you would never guess what we found at the back of the store, mixed in between baby cribs, rubber boats and crap. Tucked under the back wall, mushed up with a load of junk was a bright shiny, metallic silver coffin. Yup! A coffin! I tried opening it but it wouldn't! Yikes!!
But we had a hoot looking around in there. Then we stopped at our fave Asian store and bought chilli stuff, ponzu sauce, weird rice stuff, tofu, vegetarian oyster sauce. Its always fun going there. Came home and watched Major Crimes, my fave show for the rest of the day.
The next day Kathy and I went to the Dirty Jersey to meet with the other Kiwanians to present cheques to deserving people, proceeds from our fund raising efforts. We also held the weekly meat draw. And as I mentioned last time I won twice...a turkey and a ham. This time I won again!!! Twice! And we had such a good time. I have a feeling Kathy would have rather been out hiking the gorgeous mountains on such a gorgeous day....but she had a good time too. She won once too!!!
Then today Anne picked me up at ten this morning. Unfortunately on my birthday my driver's license expired. So bless her she drove me over there and I renewed. And guess what? Instead of it being 75 bucks it was only 17 because now I am a senior!!!! Woot Woot!!!
She then took me to Service Canada. I couldn't successfully change my address on my account I obtained there back when Bill died. Without changing it you can do nothing about applying for CPP and OAP. But...they needed a piece of ID with my address. I don't have one. So I go back tomorrow with my new license. Actually I put this wrong. We went down to Service Canada first. I hadn't renewed my license yet or I could have used it.
So all in all its been a good few days I would say!!! The next issue I must deal with is Alice, the housekeeper. I can't afford her anymore. What I pay her monthly is exactly what I now have to pay in strata fees. So if she is willing to cut the visits here in half I would love to have her still come. I feel bad...she is such an amazing housekeeper. Well gotta bounce...its late and I am tired and my horse is tired! TTYL
