SUNDAY

An active day: I skipped breakfast, as is now my habit, but went downstairs at 11:00 to participate in "the brunch bunch." I had thought it meant a buffet of some kind, but actually, residents cooked or baked the food themselves  Activities director Mindy was supervising and she gave me the task of mixing, kneading, and rolling out the dough for "Dutch pancakes." They're a kind of crust in which strawberries and blueberries are placed, then are sprinkled with powered sugar and topped with whipped cream. While the dough rose, I went to lunch (with Kathie and LaVerne), then went back to sample the goody. It was delicious and Mindy insisted it was all to my credit because my handling of the dough was so good. Ha--I used to make pies and cakes without even thinking twice. 

Right after we finished off the treat, we sat down for dime Bingo. I won one, but still ran out of dimes and Mindy staked me to a dollar's worth. She said she would insititute quarter Bingo in June and I'm looking forward to that.   

Jusat as I was about to call Noreen, she called me. We chatted then make a date for lunch today at Danny's Deli.

Bingo was no sooner over than Trivia started and I stayed for that. There were the usual inane questions, but it was sort of fun. Went back to my place to get my lemon chunks for iced tea, then down to dinner with Kathie and Keith. As I told them, I'm going out for lunch the next three days: today, Sunday, at Danny's with Noreen; tomorrow, Monday, to The Greek to see dear Vera, back from Oregon; and Tuesday, lunch other good things with Ellen.

I also completed some necessary chores: did a white wash, took trash to the place, and set up my medications for the week.
