Friday I attended a Super Adults (55+) luncheon and program at a local church. Peter and Edwina used to run this program out of Joyce's church but this year moved to doing it at their church.
Leah, who runs one of the groups I hike with, showed a number of her photos from hiking trips in and around Glacier Park.
I arrived on time. Lots of people were there. People were very friendly and it took me a while to find Joyce and Marilyn as many people wanted to chat. One woman remembered me from the talk I did at one of these luncheon meetings this past Spring about bicycling. One guy with only one arm got out his Sony digital camera and showed me how the camera's multiple face recognition worked.
Marilyn told me on Thursday they had found/suspected Bill had a dislocated shoulder. They would be taking an x-ray today (Friday) to make sure. If so, then the mystery is how it became dislocated while a patient in Brendan House? This is the same nursing home I took my dad out of years ago to care for until he died.
The meal was very good. The cheesecake desert was right out of a fancy restaurant. Very good.
Leah's photos of course were very nice and she even included a few photos from hikes I had been on. I included a couple of her photos at the end here.
The violinists were very good playing several classical music pieces. Being classical music they went on longer than the time of your standard pop song. It was hard to get an idea about the two women. They looked to be anywhere from their mid teens to 20 years of age. Their appearance and dress was very conservative and they would fit in in how young women dressed and looked a century ago.
A woman at our table, and her husband sitting at another table, had a wedding anniversary in February. When Peter asked the husband for the anniversary date to put him on the spot as to whether he could remember, he replied "
Yesterday!" and people laughed. The wife answered 43 years when Peter asked how long. A minute later Peter quizzed the husband as to the year they were married and the husband replied "
I don't know. Ask my wife".
After the program was over I saw Arnie and his wife and chatted with them. I also congratulated Leah on her talk and photos.
