Perry had the huge bandage removed from his arm this morning....a doctor took a quick peek at the surgery and declared .... all well, then a nurse covered the wound again with a lighter dressing as one spot was weeping a little. Tomorrow after we have bowled again Perry will remove it so as to let it air somewhat. Very neat job....stiches will be removed a week from today....al going well.
We both had another bowling lesson this morning. Now that we have a bit of experience under our belts it's great to have a lesson and realize that we are making good progress. Graham Hubbard who is the games director and a former club president gave us the lesson in place of the current president as he was and is always very busy. I prefer Graham, who by the way ....he and his wife Faye (lady president) are good friends of Judy and Merv from when they all lived in Tecoma years and years ago. Graham played golf for 35 years and decided to take up bowling because of a trick knee....loves it and wouldn't care if he didn't play golf again. It IS that addictive!
Lib is having a great time in Freo....as they call Fremantle. The T.V. show called "The Great Outdoors" featured Fremantle just last Saturday night. It looks like a really lovely place...lots of old buildings are heritage listed and quite beautiful. Lots of good restaurants....heaven for Lib!
I sent a text message to her....she will be back home next weekend. With Doug and James gone I think she will be lonely and I hope she has something figured out to occupy her time. This is a good age for her to get into one sport or another.
Haven't heard back from Glen after replying to his latest email....he thinks closer to Christmas would be a better time for him to work on my visiting him. The financial load everyone is carrying these days just seems to be getting heavier. We certainly have to watch every dollar....luckily I am good at budgeting and get satisfaction out of knowing that barring something catastrophic we are doing O.K. Live in a wonderful place and enjoy our lives. Miss the kids and grand kids, but everyone has to do their own thing. My mother used to say....whoever said "money can't buy you happiness" was a clod. It might not do all you hoped it would, but it sure "cushions the blows" I heartily agree.... The people we care about are all a long way away, but money means they are all just a few hours or a day away. Air travel is cheaper than driving now...how amazing is that!!!!!
