Expanding my Horizons

Suddenly, at age 82, I am blossoming..  I have just called the city bus to pick me up weekly and take me to art class.  I have a project in mind.  Instead of paints or drawing media, I will take my Dell laptop computer containing a Paint program.  I will try to do the lesson for the day, whether design or color oriented, on my laptop.

Also I am scheduled weekly to go to Writers Class at the Senior Center.  Maybe the laptop would be good there too.  Haven't considered that yet.  Perhaps I could get online from there, wireless, and be a research resource for the writers.  LOL.  I keep making up projects for myself.

Here at the old folks home, I sit and listen to George our volunteer piano player.  When he tells me what key he is playing in, I can accompany him on my harmonica.  Also I list the songs he has played and compile a complete compendium of his music.  I made up that assignment for myself.

Also, I assigned myself to unlock the back garden in the mornings and lock it up at night.  We haven't had any prowlers...but we MIGHT. Anyway it is something to do.  Also I appointed myself to tally the scores of our nightly rummy game.  Another self appointed individual, Jim, records the scores and keeps them in a book.  (Why? I don't know why? I suppose, like me, it is to keep busy.))

I also take pictures of the activities that take place here, print them on my desk top computer, and post them on the bulletin board. (Using push pins I had to buy at Staples.)

I decided that Talking watches, for seven dollars, was a good buy.  So I ordered half a dozen, and sell them at cost to residents who want them.  Saves them the trouble of ordering them from a catalogue.

I have a sore arm from patting myself on the back.
