Good play today at the Kennedy Center.  Follies - a musical (of course) with Bernadette Peters, Elaine Page, Linda Lavin and others. I wasn't sure I was going to like it - but it was a lot of fun.

A tad bittersweet - I went with a friend and this is the next to the last play I'll probably go to for a while - it's gotten very expensive and without someone to go with it's not really worth it . . . SIGH!

PS - saw someone "famous" today - Colin Powell, his wife and another couple were in Box 2 . . . a first!

It's that time of the year again - Flags in - done every year for the past 40 years by the 3rd Army "the Old Guard" at Arlington National Cemetery.

Take a few minutes this long holiday weekend and remember all the sacrifices of those who have gone before - and say Thank You to someone serving today.  They make America great!

I am SO confused . . . and apparently I don't have to wait for the rapture . . . so there's work to do.

SIGH

Home again. Love my Florida family and it was so good to see them, but it's bittersweet and I am very glad to be home once again.

In Florida on what may be my last trip here. Drove past Mom's house - a little tug but the memories are still alive inside. Sadder not to have someone special to talk to about it but such is life ( or so they tell me).

A nice birthday and Mother's Day - spent the evening with my sons - a good time, no drama and LOTS of potato salad!

A lot of introspection today - when I let myself think about things. Don't do that often - perhaps I should but at the same time, life goes on and dwelling on the past doesn't accomplish anything.

Tomorrow is my birthday and Mother's Day.  I keep remembering my husband who truly never remembered my birthday but he knew it was close to, if not on, Mother's Day - so he made sure to celebrate Mother's Day - that way he was right at least some of the time! At least he knew it was early May . . . Growing up I never anticipated being this age - I did think about being in my 30s and 40s (though certainly not the way they actually turned out) but never thought about my 50s and definitely not my 60s.

I'll actually be glad when the day is over.
