Friends who meet every once in a while (hopefully every other week) to catch up. We started at the Dripolator Coffee Place, but after about half an hour, 25 teen girls in shorts came in and lined up for their treats. (There are not 25 seats in the Drip!) We soon could not hear ourselves shout due to the "cafeteria roar" of the young women. We were sitting until that happened, at the level of seeing all their tan thin legs...and decided another place to sit would be our choice. Sorry, (not sorry) I didn't get a photo of them!
I had ordered a book at Sassafras Bookstore a couple of blocks away, so we all went in my car and sat in their comfy chairs to continue our conversation. We had to laugh at the thought of all those girls going into any one of the stores in Black Mountain. The proprietors would go crazy! Girls were probably from a camp...perhaps it hadn't started yet...or maybe a bus came from a high-school. Anyway, we drove in one car to new parking place and left the other two cars where they were. Parking late morning in Black Mountain can be a challenge!
A fun chandelier above our heads. A nice quiet store, but shoppers were lingering close by, so I wondered if they were more interested in our conversation than the books on the shelves. For that reason I didn't engage in political comments.
Wearing my new pendant, then I drove the other ladies back to their cars to do their own choices of errands.
My new book is quite interesting "Visual Thinking" by Temple Grandin. I think I'm a visual learner...now will find out if I'm a visual thinker too.

Physical update (just skip because I'm mainly journaling how this old body is doing).
Feeling pretty good these days. Actually working pretty well. Some pain along right thigh and hip has gone away. I'm eating mostly better than I was a few months ago. Have found increased energy after taking my combination vitamin of Calcium/Zinc/Magnesium, and my vitamin-D-3...5000 IU. Apparently taking them at a separate time than my meds is a good thing for me. And since insurance isn't covering famotidine but will give me omeprazole I've been taking that just once a day rather than twice for F. I'm coughing evenings and at night again, but using the nebulizer regularly too.
Food is still prepared-things over half the time, and though I have no interest in sweets till late afternoon, then I really really want cookies or cake. Yesterday's grocery bill had more sweets on it than nutritious things. All in all, what I'm noticing is that I can walk around and stand upright more comfortably.

And though we had clouds at moon-rise, later on the strawberry moon woke me up blazing through my windows (after shining through the trees.) Photo from internet.

Enjoying and fully experiencing the journey of life is as important as achieving goals and reaching milestones.
