I HAVE BEEN TO...'COUNTLESS'...POTLUCKS, ALWAYS ENJOYING THE FOOD/FRIENDSHIPS/LAUGHTER...BUT I HAVE NEVER...IN MY LIFE...EATEN ONLY ...ONE MEATBALL AND LEFT BEFORE DESSERT!! I KNEW...'SOMETHING WAS WRONG, AND NEEDED TO LEAVE!' I MANAGED TO GET THESE PICTURES...THOUGH. IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN DO...WHEN YOU: 'SET THAT MIND OF YOURS!' HMMMMMMMMMM 'I LISTENED TO MY BODY...AND I USED MY BRAIN, AND DECIDED TO LEAVE!' IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE WAS HAVING...'A GRAND TIME!' CE
'BLOCK PARTY'...ON RED MOUNTAIN WAY...SATURDAY. LET'S SEE: I PLAYED TENNIS ON THURSDAY...FRIDAY I STARTED...'SLOWLY'...GOING THROUGH ALL THE GLASS/LUGGAGE/EVERTHING THAT HAD BEEN PUT IN THE ONE BEDROOM (WITH THE DOOR CLOSED) HMMM. I CALLED ON FRIDAY AND SAID I WOULD BE THERE, DECIDING TO BRING MY HEALTHY: SPINICH, BLACK OLIVE, MANDARINE ORANGES, ALMONDS, SPRINKLES...SALAD. FEELING RATHER...'SLEEPY'...EARLIER AND DID GET UP IN TIME, AND ARRIVED AROUND 4:15. CAMERA IN HAND...AND I ALSO BROUGHT MY CALENDARS AND CARDS FOR EVERYONE. I KNEW JUST OUR NEIGHBORS...STEVE AND BEV, AND STARTED TAKING PICTURES OF ALL THOSE SMILES AND HEALTHY FOOD. HMMM 'KNOW YOUR BODY!' (WHEN YOU LISTEN TO IT...WHEN IT IS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING...BETTER BE READY! I HAD JUST TAKEN A PLATE OF ALL THIS DELICIOUS FOOD...TAKEN A FEW PICTURES...AND THEN I ATE ONE MEATBALL...AND A LITTLE JELLO! HMMM THAT'S NOT ME!! I USUALLY GO UP FOR...SECONDS! HMMM. TOOK A COUPLE MORE PICTURES...GRABBED MY PLATE...AND LEFT SAYING: 'I DON'T FEEL VERY WELL.' GOOD THING I DID, FOR AS SOON AS I GOT HOME...I HAD THE ...'CHILLS' AND FELT...BASICALLY...'ROTTEN!' THIS LASTED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES...AND THEN I WENT TO SLEEP. HEADACHE IN THE MORNING (I TOOK NOTHING) BUT DECIDED THAT TODAY I WAS GOING TO DO: 'NOTHING!' THESE DAYS ARE FAR AND FEW BETWEEN...BUT WHEN THEY DO COME...I ACCEPT THAT FACT: 'MAYBE YOU HAD BETTER...LIE IN BED...ALL DAY! SUNDAY I HAD AN ORANGE (FROM MY TREE)...AND LATER SOME CHICKEN WITH MY SPINICH SALAD...AND THEN: OFF TO BED...AGAIN! KAREN CALLED YESTERDAY AND A LUNCH IS PLANNED WITH KAREN, JACKIE (BACK FROM AMSTERDAM) AND JUDY AT AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT AROUND 1 TODAY. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER...SO WILL TAKE MORE PICTURES...TODAY! CAROLE E 9:50 AM.
