Today we did have some excitement…NOT! Unless you are a flea on a shelter dog this was rather a tame, too much quiet day. It did start out with much anticipation for we, Hubby and me were going to go to the Grecian Festival right here in our hometown, sounded like fun and enjoyment; a bit of Mediterranean fanfare without hopping on a plane or boarding a ship, Ompa! The new church that is still under construction was quite impressive I truly did not know we had such a large congregation of Greek Orthodox people in our community, an education for me.
Perhaps it was our fault for arriving so early, since they were still setting up, but the newspaper said it started at eleven A.M. and it was only a few minutes to, maybe they all were on Grecian time, but that would be several hours ahead not behind.

Anywho, it did appear to be a festival with the appropriate amounts of balance of food and rides for the kiddies that is, since we no longer ride, and did I mention we no longer have kiddies, not even the next generation…
They also had handouts that stated their programming which appeared to start mostly in the evening, accept for the two man band in the band tent who were playing instruments, and singing but their mouths were not moving, how odd?
I asked them about that and they laughed still no answers…mmmmmm they must have been, sure they were lip-sinking, mu-zac, elevator music, huh hmm.
Anyway Hubby stopped a buxom brunette in a rather tight fitting t-shirt that said on the back that she was part of a dance team, and so he asked her when they would be dancing, and she said the children get out of school at four that’s when! So the children were the dancers?
Never found out, we decided to have some Gyros and a Greek salad for me too for a lunch, it all was yummy and then since we had seen it all and it was only just around twelve-ish we left, but when we paid the two dollar donation each when we arrived we had been told that our tickets were good all weekend, and so come back anytime, maybe, maybe not…
As we were leaving we saw signs saying that there was a Senior Palooza at our Cultural Center, whatever that was, and we said, why not? And we were on the road trip to there, oh what fun!

Sure enough it was a senior doohickey event for assisted living or independent living, diabetes info, healthy foods and beverages, hearing aids, eye checks you name it they had it for whatever ails you, but I did not know those were all exclusive to the seniors, since we have a lot of that stuff and the only ones who say we are seniors is AARP!
Information and handouts were rampant, good for Hubby and me, lots of places to tell his Mom about and one table with anything I needed to know about diabetes, pre, one or two! I was given a great recipe diet book with an in-depth explanation of carbs, what more could a scaredy-cat be happier to see and read!

Almost bumped into a person I did not want to see. She appeared well, much better than her dire health a few years ago… where she needed assistance with nearly everything, and I lost my usefulness, how sad, we had been good friends I thought but again I was wrong, since I was only a friend when I could do whatever she needed, and as soon as I couldn’t the heck with you! Bitter! I know I sound that way, but it does seems that many people just have you there to serve their needs and when you no longer can, good bye and good luck! Unfortunately, I am a sap in that arena, many have done that to me, and that is why I am careful who I chose as friends… had been stung too many times! I know what you all are saying right now: Tobi it’s not nice to wallow in self pity… I know, I just feel that some take advantage of my good nature, which can be unrelenting at times, and then when I had to say no to them, they said fine, goodbye to you lady. As I have said before many feel their problems are worse than yours.
Plus this woman has made it over a year past my Mom’s age with similar ailments when she had died at only seventy, and I suppose I was worried she would die, but now she hasn’t, and its best we are no longer ‘friends’ since I have been known as a jinx, and I suppose we really weren’t since after her surgery, and she needed help being driven around so I drove her, she would introduce me as her driver, not her friend! Sorry I am no Morgan Freeman, I’m too feminine, short and pale, but I do love the man! And she was no Miss Daisy either, too poor! That is NOT a friend, and I wasn’t getting paid a red cent, by the way; I did it purely out of friendship, stupid me. Same with other situations, like when I took her in the wee hours of the morning for eye surgery two weeks after our home had been devastated by Hurricane Charley, because I had promised before it all happened. Oh well, old news…venting, and I was going to try and keep this light and humorous I will try to do better tomorrow night I promise, OK?

I better say good night before I start again on another tangent, did I mention because of that early bumping into her we left the place without seeing everything? It was my fault entirely on that and I take full responsibility.
All of you please count those blessings and we will too!


PS Tiger it was about time to own up to your mistakes, and now maybe the media will leave you and Elin alone, now it should be private between you two.
