Journaling,

Had a busy weekend, a block fair in front of my office put me at church about two hours early, which gave me time to meditate, play the piano and sing with no one around. (the only time I do such things ) After church, some friends had asked me to join them for a birthday celebration. Following that I went to visit my folks.

Sunday, I (at the suggestion of Harly) and also Becca, called my W(X) to just find out how she was doing and if she needed anything. Her reply was that she was fine and thank you for asking. We had a pleasant talk, she again said how much she loves her new career, makes more use of her marketing degree, etc. Interesting that she said that I should be prepared, her dad is way out there and difficult. (Expecting me to go there I suppose?) Glad for that.

Then I spent most of the day with her dad. We played checkers and I got beat!! We had some good talk about hunting and his growing up. He is supposed to be in the last stages of alzheimers so when he said that it had been four days since I told him of the D, and wanted to know if we had remarried yet, I was surprised. I told him no but when she says yes again, he can perform the ceremony. That put a big smile on his face. End stage Alz. and him counting time and recent (current) memory?

Today: I saw W standing in her office door (glass) when I turned into the bank and then next time I went by she was trotting up the steps from the company SUV but she turned and waved when I went by. A few minutes later she was at a light as I drove through the intersection. I smiled huge, always have my hand on the door with the window down so the wedding band shows.

Lunch time in the little coffee house...sat next to a lawyer and his wife,(sure they know and wonder about the ring) a mutual friend commented on my eating alone, and that my W was just too busy. Then the county mayor stopped to talk. And lunch and Latte (F&H) was on the house.
