Teaching Arthritis Class and Fun with Friends

I was called this morning to sub for a teacher in the artritis class at the senior center. Since I was free, I said yes. There were about 15 in the class and I enjoyed the group. Tonight we met with friends for dinner. The fun part is reconnecting with a former colleague who is also still teaching.

Fancy Nancy Says: Find something you enjoy doing and keep doing it. It will keep you young and involved.

Wonderful Trip With Daughter Lynn

What a fun time we had on a trip to Syracuse , New York. We enjoyed a private tour of the University by a lovely couple who really knew the campus. Thanks to Marvin and Pat, we had a fun day. We also enjoyed the science museum , and the large Dynasty Mall. Traveling with my daughter was the best treat of all. She makes friends easily, so we met lots of lovely people in the area and they too helped to make a super, fun trip for both of us. We hope to do more trips in the future.

Fancy Nancy Says: I am lucky to have a wonderful daughter.

Common Sense Takes Time

Today I had an insurance problem and I did not know what to do. I thought about it all day and finally common sense came to me. Now I will contact my home owner's agent and see what he suggests. I think a company that sold me a policy is not reliable. It took a good part of the day for me to decide the best plan.

Fancy Nancy Says: Sometimes common sense takes some time.

Hooray I Did It!!!

Finally I am done with my real estate exam. In the past this was never a problem, but this year I did 4 exams and finally satisfied them. what a nuisance, but I did it. I think that the information required sometimes does not make good sense. So much for rules and regualtions. What you learn really does not help to sell a piece of property.

I plan on selling a condo in Naples, Florida. If anyone is interested let me know. There are 2 large bedrooms, a den, and an enclosed patio. Keep in touch if you are interested. I will not use a realtor. Let me know if you want more information.

Fancy Nancy Says: Let's avoid the realtor.

Tomorrow is root canal day. Not always a fun project.

Fancy Nancy Says: Not all projects are fun.

Amazing time with Richard and friends

My son arranaged an amazing bike trip with many of his friends. We enjoyed sharing a dinner with everyone. My son does more in a few days than most folks do in several months. I do not know how he handles all the things he accomplishes.

We are still waiting for Marty to see the orthopedist. He has a knee injury and it still hurts him. Time will tell the answers. For now, one day at a time.


Fancy Nancy Says: Some things take more time than you realizxe.

Nice Lunch with Lynn

A fun lunch with Lynn . Then when I got home I discovered Marty had a knee problem so we spent the afternoon trying to get exrays and medical advice. We are still working on that. Life is a roller coaster for sure.

The library hired me for another writing program so I was happy about that. I am going to start working on selling my Florida condo. If any of you know of someone interested in buying in Florida, send me a note and I will give you all the details.


Fancy Nancy Says: Every day is a new adventure.

Frustrated Fancy Nancy

In the past I have taken real estate exams without any problems. Thia year I am having several problems with test. They keep telling me that my score is not what is required. Then I contacted them to check the scoring since it seems there could be an error there as well.

I am a teacher so it has given me a new understanding of the frustrations that students experience with certain tests. Boy is it humbling to try and not see success.

Fancy Nancy Says: In sptie of problems we have to learn to try and try again. Persisitence does pay!

Need To Discover Ways to Correct Errors

I just read my last blog and the word social was spelled incorrectly. I can't find the way to correct it. Anyone know the answer?

Today I went to zumba and just stayed a short time. It is very active and I can't do a whole hour. Then I sent off my real estate exam. Hope I got it right. Nest was art time. Finished a picture for my grandson. Hope he likes it.


Fancy Nancy Says: Mondays are fundays.

Fun Lunch , A swim, and A Class

Today I had a fun lunch with my wonderful daughter. I really enjoy the time we spend together. In the morning I saw a movie about the artists from Spain and then an exercise class and a swim. A hot fun day. I have to retake a real estate exam. I now know how my students feel when they used to take tests. Most of my present students are seniors aged 70 and up. I tell them all they have an A plus before they begin. Why not!

Fancy Nancy Says: All seniors in my classes can have A plus . My students are 70 and up.
