Fort Myer’s Florida is the locale for the fundraiser today to help the people of Nashville Tennessee and I am also sure all those surrounding areas impacted with that dreadful flooding!
I only knew about it due to me being on Facebook and so I thought it beneficial to contact my toddler hood pal up their in Tennessee and let her know that we know down here all about their disastrous happenings and that people cared enough to help!
With that said, my dear old chum misunderstood my involvement and thought that I was the one responsible for the fundraiser, and I sure wish I had the ability to do that but I didn’t and I hadn’t. And so I did let her know who I believe is responsible and that took an awful weight of guilt off of me. I only claim what is mine, not unlike the rest of you I am sure.
I thought it also rather interesting that today is that particular friend’s monumentus sixtieth birthday, and to be honest and fair she is just six weeks my senior.
Decades determine milestones in my book and all should be counted and as we age perhaps bi-decades should then be afforded that same respect, what do you think?
My birthday twin of a cousin which may be confusing to some of you, let me explain it is that we actually have the same day and year birthdays and she has been working for years on our genealogy and she is brilliant the way she shuffles all the generations and her research is impeccable, only on occasions there are a few, very few slight glitches in the program that is used. I am relentless in informing her when it screws up about my branch of the families’ info.
I fear that she may take it personally since I write back intensely when I see the mistake to let her know, but just don’t understand why the program keeps putting my father’s last wife that he had for only a year as my younger son’s second wife?
It drives me batty, and she would have been way too old for him!
When Dad married the woman, three years after my Mom passed away that woman was seventy-five and he was seventy-eight, and the one son that the computer is trying so hard to make my younger son’s wife and he was just nine years old at that time!
It’s just so weird to me.
Any-who, my cousin knows how to fix it; I think?
Aside from our nearly two hour visit to the grocery today I have been explaining away things on this technical marvel in my spare time, and oh yes I finished that book I started yesterday it was only a little over three hundred pages called, ‘Dark Shadow’ most recent one from one of my favorite authors, Randy Wayne White, a local guy, who is famous here, and can’t write fast enough for me and Hubby, yes we share, and also has a few restaurants named after his main character in his books, and that is: Doc Ford thus the Doc Ford restaurants in Fort Myers and Sanibel.
His sites for your info is, copy and paste: http://docfords.com/

Oh you are wondering why we took two hours at the grocery…silly it was an outing!
And we were out of everything, get it?
On that silly note I will bid you all a very good night and suggest for you to count those blessings and we will too!
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
