Homestead Report Number 58
Having been chastised for not writing lately I decided that I need to resume placing I's and O's on a computer hard drive, which I think is the same as putting pen to paper. It's true, however,that I haven't written much in the last month or so. In fact, my last posting was on Nov 18, 2007 and before that it was on Nov 1. My posting record before that is available on line, for the one or two of you who don't already know. It's easy to blame my lapse on more pressing daily matters, but, when you're retired, as I am, that is difficult, if not impossible to do.
The following should bring you up to speed on what Yun and I have been up to.Our visits to the doctor have been routine, in that our health doesn't seem to be getting any worse, of course, since there is basically nothing wrong with us, our health doesn't seem to be getting any better either. How's that for a positive statement made in a negative manner.
Our friend and companion, Sassy, is much improved. She is eating well, and moving well. But she is extremely possessive of me, to the extent that if she is in the room when Lady is receiving some loving from me, she rushes to put a stop to it. Basically, Lady can't get around me when Sassy is in eyesight. Good she loves me so much. I'm able to work around Sassy and attend to Lady's need for love by enlisting Yun's help in distracting Sassy, which is kind of sneaky, but effective.
We went on post last month and renewed Yun's identification card. Also, we went to the local Social Security Administration office and applied for Yun's Social Security annuity based on me work record. We had a very nice young man process our application, and while doing so, he mentioned he was thinking of marrying and asked if we had any hints about marriage longevity, which he could share with his girl friend. Of course, I, a sometimes smart ass, said that the secret was for the husband to do what what his wife said, always, without fail. Discuss if you must, but then agree with your wife and do what she says. That got me a slap on the arm from Yun. I then told him the secret is to (1) never think you are always right, and (2) never go to bed angry. Anyway Yun should get her first SSA payment in January.
The Terminix repairman finally came and removed the termite damaged wood on the side of our home and replaced it. As far as I can see, he did good work.
I walk the treadmill every day and in the evening Yun and I Wii bowl. There are other games we like but bowling is the most fun for us, plus we get exercised.
Oh, almost forgot that Michelle and Steven took us to a little bistro in Atlanta called "Jenny's Souper" last weekend, or maybe two weekends ago. Anyway, Michelle told us that the bistro is actually owned by a lady named Jenny. Jenny and her staff make their 5 or 6 Soups du Jour daily, They're delicious, as are their 2 or 3 (Sandwich du Jour, is that a word). Michelle says that Jenny's serving staff are often up beginning actors on the Atlanta scene, so who knows, you might have your soup handed to you by a future star. By the way, the atmosphere is eclectric with no matching plates, bowls, cups, or silverware, which Yun and I thought fit the bistro perfectly. If this sounds to restaurant reviewish,keep in mind that I am sincere Jenny's Souper is a good place to eat. I don't remember Michelle and Steven taking us to a bad restaurant in Atlanta yet. In fact, it's nice to go there and enjoy some non-chain restaurant food, which, except for chinese food, is all you will find on the southside of Atlanta. And speaking of Chinese food, it seems to me that get basically the same menu no matter where in the world you are. Except, possibly if you order Chinese food in China. I don't know, maybe that's the way it is supposed to be.
I'm closing for today because it is time to walk the treadmill.
More later (There is always more, later not so much)
