Tennis Party and Morning Service

Today was an interesting day. In the morning my friend took me to a memorial service at the temple. I have not been to this temple in a long time. The service was fine, but the air-conditioning was really cold.

At night we went to a tennis party . The party is an annual event with a large crowd. The food was good, but the music was so loud an noisy I suggested that we leave. It was nice to come back to our quiet home.

Fancy Nancy Says: Folks do not realize it, but the loud rock music can wreck your hearing. Watch out!

Nice Dinner Guests Tonight

My neighbors have just sold their condo. I invited them for dinner before they relocate. They had mixed emotions about selling, but since the condo dues keep going up, they feel that they had to sell.

In condo living that is the problem. The price of the condo is not that bad, but each year the dues increase and you have not choice but to pay them or relocate.

Fancy Nancy Says: Condo living has its issues.

New Movie Is Excellent

We saw a new movie called Fly Fishing in Yemen. Very well done by the BBC. The scenery is great and so is the acting. A nice Easter afternoon surprise.

Hope everyone had a nice holiday. We expect company this week, so I did some cooking and then went to Boston Chicken to get some things for supper.

Getting ready to file my taxes tomorrow. This year tax season has been confusing due to Identity Theft. I am not the only one who had the problem. It is a major issue in today's world.

Fancy Nancy Says: Privacy no longer exists in the world today.

Dictionaries Are Helpful

I just checked the dictionary and I found out that the word granddaughter has two d's. Dictionaries are valuable since it is often hard to remember how to spell many words. You do have to have some idea how to spell a word to even look it up . No wonder non-naitve speakers of English have such a problem with English. Even native born speakers still have to look up words to confirm the spelling.

Fancy Nancy Says: Use your dictionary to help you out spelling words.

A Wonderful Family Dinner

Yesterday we had a wonderful time seeing my family in Florida. It is so nice to have time together and the nice part was everyone was well and enjoying getting together. There were 7 of us at the Bonefish Grille. I had not seen some of them since last year.

Rebecca, my wonderful granddaughter was there with her boyfriend. She is doing a great job teaching youngsters. She has always had a job and she is a good worker. My daughter Lynn made a beautiful new book that was called Miss Lynn's Songs. She had hudreds of songs in her new book. I suggested that she publish it.

I am lucky to have such a nice family. Happy Holidays to all. Fancy Nancy

Libraries Are Wonderful Places

Today our local branch of the library is closed so I will go to a central branch. I am so lucky to enjoy reading and movies and the libraries offer some great choices free of charge. Ben Franklin started the idea of a free library. He was a smart leader to think of the library and begin the post office as well. He never knew about the internet, but if he had lived he would have enjoyed that as well.

Fancy Nancy Says: Libraries are an important free facility for many of us. Too bad that many cities and towns have to cut back on library funds. So many folks enjoy our wonderful libraries.

Getting Reorganized for May

In May we return to our northern home. Now it is time to clean out things , register the cars, get rid of things we don't need and scale down. The good part of relocation each year is it forces us to get rid of things we no longer use.

Today I met a lovely 20 year old girl at my exercise health club.
She wants to teach dancing so I asked her if she would want to meet with me once a week until I leave to teach me some of her dance steps. I will see what she will charge me. I did some dancing with her today, and tonight I am a bit sore. I guess she is in much better shape than I am. Oh well, maybe when I was 20 I was in better shape as well.

Fancy Nancy Says: Your body definitely changes as you age.
