Hello From Rockville fplatzer@mywdo.com

I did not write anything yesterday so will write about yesterday and today.

I enjoyed my trip down to the Cities yesterday, the weather was great and it's good to touch bases with friends and get caught up on the news. Our Care group gets together once monthly and it is usually in the Twin Cities area as that is where most of the people live. We have a "mini" Bible study or rather some one chooses something to share with us then we gather in groups and pray for the needs each one has. I rode with Dave and Marion and they picked Donna Jean up, we met at Arlon and Lois in their Community room, it was so nice with small meeting areas off of the main room and lots of room to visit.

I spent time, about an hour with Harlan when we got back, he was not a "happy camper" and I don't know why, he can't tell me why he is unhappy because he really doesn't know and he was still unhappy this morning but by the time I went in to see him this afternoon he was okay.

Today Aldi grocery store was open, not to shop but to see what the store is like, they had a lot of samples and I signed up for several drawings. A new store always looks so nice because everything is in order and neat and clean. I will go back and shop when they aren't so busy. I received coupons in the mail, $5.00 off if I spend $30.00 and $10.00 off if I spend $40.00, they most likely will not be used by me as I don't think I'd even spend $30.00, although they had some great prices.

Today was the meeting of the memory loss support group at The VA and we have decided to have a Christmas pot luck at our 1st meeting in December the staff will check to see what kind of facilities we can use and what we will bring will be decided at our next meeting, November 20th.

Harlan and I went to Perkins for our treat and I stayed with Harlan until after the sun went down as when I leave there I drive SW and the setting sun is not the best to drive into.

He was sure today was Saturday and he wanted to make sure I would be there on time on Sunday.

We had a good day, and good days are always a blessing...........Fran
