FRIDAY

 A full day and a good one, starting with my weight loss: 2.4 down to 128.4 at home and 2.0 to 129 at T.O.P.S.. That's in the upper reaches of my favored range, but hey, I'll take it. I told the others about Grouper and oddly, they had never heard of it and were surprised. Others will look into it. 

I texted Lora to see how she was doing in Prescott and she said okay, but busy. She added some pics, including this one, of part of her palatial kitchen:

Didn't get home until 10:30 or finish breakfast until after 11:00, but I was determined to fulfill some errands. Packed lunch and bused to at shop across from the mall to return pants and a top; bought another pair of slacks in navy blue.

Went from there to town where I stopped first at the library to look over their new selections.  Considering I'm working on six different books already, I'm wondering what kind of idiot I am. Just looked a few over, then went to the used books section and was surprised and pleased to see Lynne Weitzel, docent coordinator at Dudley House, who volunteers there in the used books section. We talked about the fact that the semi-annual Dudley House covered dish is coming up Tuesday. I had always taken Jim to this and Lynne had met him each time, but now I literally don't know where he is. Told Lynne I didn't think I could go, but she said if I could take the Access Van, she'd take me home. Great, I will.

I then strolled down Main--it was very quiet--and ate my lunch at my place across from the mission. On the bus home, I was pleased to get a text from Ellen, asking if I wanted to go with her and Greg to Santa Barbara today. The plan is to go to Chaucer's Book Store (Ellen had given me a gift certificate for there), then lunch, then walk the harbor or wherever. Great, I'm looking forward to it. 

In my way to my door, I ran into Lorraine, who came with me to drop off the grapefruit from her friend. I gave her three lemons, but I still have about eight more. Stopped at Suzanne's to tell her about the friends she and Lennie share. They are renting Lora' house here, which a big relief to her. 

Santa Barbara today with Ellen, Greg, and Chaucer's Books--YAY! 😊
