Our lovely day out.

Post 463 ~ ~ ~ Monday, 9th June, 2008.

Hi Everyone ~~ Another week begun, and it
has been a holiday in Victoria for the Queen's
birthday. So most folk got the day off work
today. This doesn't make much difference to
me and we have had some light rain, so I have
been indoors most of the day.

Today, the 9th June is Big Dave's wife Wendy's
birthday. I hope she has a lovely day and enjoys
her special day.

Well I think my son had a good birthday. We had
a lovely day out starting out at 8 am, we traveled
to the Market at Albury, NSW, just over the border.

The actual market is held weekly and therefore is
not as good as the monthly ones. It was very bright
in the outside stalls, and inside a parking area, it
was a little dim, so with my eyes, I didn't get to see
very much detail. There were lots of vegetables
which I usually buy, but we have a law about taking
fruit and vegetables over the border, so that was out.

Next we went to a Commercial Club in Albury, for
lunch, but were too early so we had to play the
pokies for a half hour. Neither John or I were lucky
and I don't know much about them at all. John's
friend fared better and won $50, Well done Heather.

Then upstairs (in an elevator) for our meal and it
was really great. The food good and you could go
back for seconds or even thirds. We met up with
some friends and we all sat together and chatted,
so we all enjoyed that. I had some roast pork,
roast veggies and some lasagna with lovely thick
gravy. Later I had some pavlova, which I love,
and can't have very often. Yummy.

After a lengthy lunch, we found our way to my old
friends' house where luckily they were home. John
and Heather dropped me off and went looking about
Wodonga. (Sister city to Albury) It was lovely to see
Merle and Sean.

My friend Merle is in a wheel-chair and Sean looks
afer her and lifts her, cooks and does everything for her.
She has the onset of Alzheimers so that was sad to see.
One of the things she said made me feel very sad, she
said, "some people die slowly" as she has several health
problems. I was glad she knew me. and we talked.

I forgot my camera unfortunately. We have been
friends since our kids were small. I minded hers when
she went to hospital for the next two. After John, mine
were adopted so no hospital stays for me. Sean was best
man when I was married, and my husband was his best
man. He is nearing 79 so does a great job looking after
his wife. He had a wonderful swiveling seat built into
his car and it turns right around by a lever. A big help.
They have enjoyed a few trips out lately, which is good.
Thank you John for a lovely day out.

Well after that long winded beginning, I will find us
some jokes.

A cowboy applied for an insurance policy. "Have
you ever had any accidents?" asked the agent.

"Nope," said the cowboy, "though a horse did kick in
two of my ribs last year, and a couple of years ago, a
snake bit my ankle."

"Wouldn't you call those accidents?" replied the agent.
"No,: the cowboy said, "they did it on purpose."

said, "I didn't know we had a choice."

"Yes," the novice driver agreed. "Now when I see
another car coming, "I shut my eyes." M. Herbrink.
