SIX?

[singdaw]

SIX.

[John G.]

I then ushered for the Philharmonic. Excellent program of Schumann’s Symphony No. 3, Coleridge-Taylor’s Ballade and a Mozart piano concerto in C minor.

My Amazon Kindle "tablet" is many generations old and slow as molasses.

[singdaw]

My Kindle Oasis e-reader, however, is the bomb.

[John G.]

I’m now resting on a heating pad and unwinding before bed.

[singdaw]

That sounds like a lovely program, DR John G.

The speed of my old Kindle is fine. But the battery runs down quickly.

On a different note, the theater department of my college (now a university) -- Mars Hill University, Mars Hill, NC, 19 miles north of Asheville, NC -- has decided to have a reunion of all theater majors in the school's history (those of us who have survived, that is).

It will be in September, will include a tour of all the theater facilities, a tour of the campus, a dinner, a performance of a play, etc.  It will be conducted over two days.  They are in the process of getting a group rate at local hotels (my vote is for the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, but it won't happen).

I plan on going.  Too many folks I knew and did plays with are now gone, my roommate included.  So many ghosts.

Most will be folks who never heard of the Class of 1970, but we will be represented!!

That sounds like great fun!

[John G.]

That sounds like a lovely program, DR John G.

Very large audience and they loved it.

[John G.]

Vibes for Ron and his injections.

I enjoyed Wordle for a long time, but I have discovered that life is just as sweet without it.

Plus, too many old Wordle results are now turning up in my Facebook "memories" page.

It’s my little morning  jumpstart for my brain.  I’m now also doing connections and tiles.

I’m deathly afraid if developing dementia/Alzheimer’s like my dad and his mother .

[singdaw]

Just listening to Mendelssohn's Octet at the moment, but I am fading fast.

[John G.]

The Philharmonic

[singdaw]

Hugs, DR vixmom.

[John G.]

They play in a Baptist church, which has graciously let them use the sanctuary. Great acoustics.

[singdaw]

Good night, friends.

I share the same fear. Dad had it. Mom, at her age, is now doing what Dad always fessed: She’s losing her English, reverting to German, which her caregivers don’t speak.

Good night, Singdaw.

My grandmother lost her English as well, reverting to Czech

[vixmom]

My dad lost his language altogether , first using the wrong words for things  and getting frustrated because he could tell he was saying the wrong words , but before long he was limited to yes and no and then finally even those went away

[vixmom]

It’s terrifying .  Quite honestly  I’d rather be hit by a bus than go through that, or put my family through that .

[vixmom]

In happier news, my mom and I went to bingo at the church tonight.

[vixmom]

We do it maybe once a year as a fund raiser for the youth .

[vixmom]

Prizes are donated for winners.

[vixmom]

This year there were “ mystery” bags so you didn’t know what the prizes were, you just chose a bag at random

[vixmom]

I won a game and in my bag was this pillow

[vixmom]

Also a dream catcher which I failed to photograph but have included in a box I just sealed to mail tomorrow to the Florida  Vixfamily for their Easter  goodies .

[vixmom]

The Vixter always had a dreamcatcher in her room, I thought perhaps they would like one for Vixson

[vixmom]

Also there were three small tubes of hand cream, perfect  for purse or office desk drawer
