Almost Spring

What have  you been doing? What have I been doing? I am trying to walk and made a change in eating habits. It helps to have a friend doing it as well. Linda and I are both widows.  Linda for a year and one month, me for 9 1/2 months; both new at this widow's life. We will get through this phase of life together. We need each other. We have been friends for a long time and our husbands were friends. We met through the husbands...life is funny, isn't it?

Today is St. Patrick's Day - I don't really like this holiday - I have had two bad things happen on this day in the past.
1983 - miscarriage 
1993 - official divorce date but turned into good 'cause I met Todd and married him!
But it is what it is. Green beer - Kiss me I'm Irish - Wearing of the green.

I tried the restaurant Jordan's in downtown Grove City again with Linda - we had the Greek pizza; we split a 6 inch personal pizza and it was very filling and delicious. There are many dishes to try so we will keep going back and splitting other dishes.

Tomorrow night, I am having a small dinner party for our book club; we read The Secret Life of Bees and will watch the movie. I loved the book - did not want it to end! It will be my first official get together in my new apartment. Should be fun!

Gotta work - many hours to still put in - many cases to still review - many investigators to still call this week.  Until next time...

  3. What have I been doing? Lots! But mostly having to do with my new book. I don't do much outside in the gardens till the temperatures begin stayin in the 50s, and from how it feels now, that's still a ways off.

    The Secret Life of Bees sounds like a great read. I used to read quite often, but since I do a lot of writing now, reading has taken a back seat; I should read more, it would help my writing I'm sure.
