I went to LA for my daughter’s birthday and after much
discussion it was decided I should sleep at my son & daughter-in-law's house because it was closer to the freeway and I had to be back in Santa Barbara by 11. I had a luncheon to go to in Santa Barbara that was honoring my friend. She’s done such good work , I definitely wanted to go. So, I brought my dressy clothes and set the alarm for 8. Those of you who do not know me, don’t know how difficult it is for me to get up at that hour because I don’t sleep well at night, I love to sleep in the morning hours. But set it at 8:00 I did. I had to wake up, get dressed, put makeup on. Put on tennis shoes, with high heels sitting next to me for a quick change once I get there. I was only 15 minutes late so I was very happy, thinking people would still be piling in. I pulled in the front of the hotel and there were no people piling in. Oh oh! I got that sinking feeling that I have had before, but I soldiered forward anyway, “Excuse me, I asked, Where is the luncheon today?” Knowing full well as I was asking, what he was going to answer. “We have no luncheon here today, he said, and of course, I knew he was right. So, I drove in from LA and here I was all dressed up at 11:00. I called Bob and asked if he wanted to have lunch with me, fortunately, he said yes. Thank god for husbands! Want to hear the kicker??? It was for the Alstheimer’s Luncheon. It’s in two weeks. Well, at least I didn’t miss it! Guess I’m not 60 anymore!! This one is for you, Gerd!
