This is Audrey. She's one of the ladies who came to my first coffee morning of the season and she's wearing a hat she made for her granddaughter. It was one of the things we had a good laugh over on Monday morning because the hat didn't turn out to be sized properly.We won't tell the rest of our coffee attendees but we did a lot of bitching that morning. The only rule for our Monday mornings is that there is no bitching allowed and we all broke the rule. We bitched about park policy. We bitched about government health care. We bitched about illegal aliens. And we bitched about Audrey's hat. She's made 2 of them and the first one actually looks like a pot holder.
Along with the bitching was a whole lot of laughter (much of it thanks to the hats) so the morning was still a success.
Today I worked the sausage lunch at the clubhouse but the attendees to that was very small because it's so early in the season. Donnie still provided an excellent lunch, though...roast chicken dinner, salads, sandwiches, pies, etc., just as usual. When you think of us oldsters living in a trailer park, you might think we're underprivileged but you'd really be wrong.
Tonight I'm playing card games with Sylvia and Joann. Life is almost back to normal here in the park.

We chose that rule for a good reason. Too often, seniors forget how wonderful life can be and tend to waste too much time complaining. We're trying to lift spirits at our coffee time and that's why the "no bitchin'" rule.
By the way, your blog is my favorite!!!
