THE FOOTNOTES

Over the years we gathered college stickers as we travelled around. The decals are now assembled on old storm window glasses and now grace our upstairs bedroom walls. We like them. By the way, in y our own travels pick up college stickers for us to create more contemporary works of art. thanks

 

Clarification: Since this blog started, we have had videos, texts, pictures and collages. What is different about this collage is that it was created on the computer using a Picasa program. Earlier collages were put together with photos, scissors, paste and paper. This looks like a time saver and should be developed.

Moe, Mary, Bob and I had Thanksgiving with Megan, Pat and Tabor at their house yesterday. As usual, Megan did a great job in preparing for us. I don't know where she getsa the energy, but doesn't seem to get tired. Tabor was active all afternoon, and was busy until we left. Here are some pictures----including one with four generations.

The supreme test of a new camera's lens---old pop
The lens failed to shatter

Thanks to a lot of help from Bob, we are ready for winter. He spent a lot of time clearing the lot of leaves, hauling the Madonna and outdoor cooker into the shed, and getting us ready for the long winter's nap. Thanks, Bob

These are the first pictures from our new 14 megapixel camera, Notice Moe's new hairdo which has been acclaimed here, how much thinner we are, and how old Bob's picture makes him look not a day older than 84 and a half.

We had a reunion yesterday with our old-time friend and neighbor, Maryann, from Wilcox Street. We had not seen her in eighteen years, and now she is a grandmother. She and husband, Rinehart , spent the afternoon with us----Mary, Peggy, Bob, Moe and me.
A lot of memories were exchanged, and we had a lot laughs with Rinehart. We plan to
see them again in a few weeks.

We are making more and more use of the Tolland Senior Center. We shoot pool tomorrow. We bowled today on the WII machine, where I showed flashes of my former athletic prowess (that means I was pretty good). Moe plays dominoes once a week, has a reading group and we both are in a writing group which has recessed for now.
We are realizing the value of the Senior Center for people who might be lonesome
without the companionship it provides. -As one lady put it:"It's better than staying home and crying,."
