Yesterday I was out of the house from 7:30 am to 9 pm (ish)
had a lovely time with d mom -
she has a hard time with talking small talk with people she sees at the retirement village (nice one - more like a bunch of condos) but my goodness she loves to tell her story to anyone in other places if they ask about her accent!
She seems comfortable in superficial encounters where she won't see them again. Amazing that this woman traveled the world. Loss of the remainder of ones family and friends plays havoc on older individuals.
She had her dr. appointment, we went shopping (which i dislike but she was so happy) I did buy my first purse in 5 years and d mom bought some cloths and a purse. Tar-get and other misc. stores for errands as well. We also forgot we had reservations for a local restaurants 30th anniversary and thank goodness we remembered. It was lots of fun (tons of people) and they had an accordionist, a french singer and tons of balloons. I wasn't dressed well but we didn't realize until we were at Tar-get right before dinner was to be served but we made it in time and We sang, ate and were merry.
Dd younger went with d sil to the opera (her first) and she laughed when she got home that she never knew the opera was in another language
Unfortunately it wasn't a comedy - she said they took two hours to tell a half hour story lol. It was Rigoletto. She enjoyed to d sil's company tremendously. I told her she should call each aunt have lunch or something with them. I watch operas on PBS but have never been to the civ-ic opera house.
