Don’t Forget!!

"They" say that as we get older one of the first things to go is the memory.  We find that to be very true.  We forget to order our prescriptions on time, we forget what we went to the store for (we forgot the list!), we forget where we put the keys…the list goes on.  I forgot what I was doing the other day and put my coffee mug - full of hot coffee- in the refrigerator!


Russ said he wanted to buy some little sticky notes to help us remember stuff but I said I had some at home.  I forgot to give them to him so he forgot to call the car dealer about the squealing brakes (we just had them replaced last week)!


We noticed on Monday the water level in the pool was getting a little low.  About 2 p.m. Russ put the hose in, turned it on full blast, and … you can guess the rest.  About 8 a.m. the next morning I opened the patio door and this is what I saw:





The pool is definitely full and we will have some REALLY green patches in the lawn.  I certainly hope we don’t forget to pay the water bill!


I was so sorry to hear of the events in Aurora, CO.  I am also disappointed with the rumors and kibitzing going on in the media and elsewhere.  Some are even politicizing this terrible tragedy.  Why can’t they all just calm down, let the police do their job and keep the inane comments to themselves?  I know, too much to ask.  My heart goes out to all those affected by this terrible event.
