Tonight we went to the installation of board members for the Key Training Center. This is the organization where Cliff’s sister, Suzanne, lived for four of the happiest years of her life, Sadly she succumbed to esophageal cancer at the end of 2007. The facility serves a little over 300 developmentally disabled adults, giving them a chance to achieve their personal goals, which may be as simple as combing their own hair or to keeping their own checkbook. Cliff is a new member of the BOD and the corresponding secretary for the board. Dinner was provided (which was very good, especially the red velvet cake) and the ceremonies were inspiring.

Tomorrow I have to shorten a couple of pairs of new Levis for Cliff and also have to do laundry in preparation for packing the clothes I wear most often and, therefore, want to take on the trip. That would be the ones that fit this week. lol

Bed time. Have to get up early to go get my bi-annual blood test to see what I have to give up next. Our friend, Paula, is coming by tomorrow after work to get instructions on the care and feeding of the cats, orchids, tomatoes and pool. We are soooo lucky that she has offered to take care of things while we’re gone. Not sure that I would have gone otherwise. Love you, Paula.Watched a Netflix movie when we got home which was called Ironweed. Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson starred in it, which was the only reason we got beyond the first five minutes. After it was over, I told Cliff that I would rather watch “Death of a Salesman” twice rather than watch this one again. Can you guess that it and the cast were “nominated” and the screenplay won a Pulitzer? Gag a maggot. Sorry, but it was a real stinker.
