This is the Rest of March

The rest of March was spent enjoying the visit of a wonderful friend, Joy, from back east. We enjoyed an exhibition Brewer ball game with her and Don took her sightseeing on his scooter. She's very brave--did I mention that? A mutual friend lives in Corte Bella and we had lunch together the following day. That was so great because they hadn't seen each other in quite a while. We ended Joy's visit with a trip to the Belgian restaurant in Phoenix. I love the food there and I can't say that about many of the restaurants nearby. I ordered mussels and french fries--my absolute favorite. Joy didn't stay very long but we hope she'll come back and spend more time with us next winter.

When Joy left I finally had to tackle those tax papers. I'm a Capricorn for goodness sake and it was already the middle of March. At that point I'm already thinking I'm late. It took me 4 or 5 days to organize the receipts and type up all the figures (neatness counts). Now I'm waiting for the results. And of course, I'm already saying that next year I'll start sooner.

I've been golfing more often than before. The weather has been so gorgeous and I need to work on much of my game. I have a good long game but I'm still looking for my short game. My putting must be buried somewhere on the course because I cannot get the ball to the hole. I changed putters and that didn't help. That's funny because when Don can't putt, he buys a new putter and, like magic, he can putt.

Somewhere in all that golfing and entertaining I had an Oncologist appointment. He received a copy of the results of the CT Scan that the radiation doctor ordered and agreed with Dr Smiley that I should have a PET Scan to see what that is at the bottom part of my right lung. As he says better safe than sorry. The PET Scan isn't taking place till the first week in May so I'll have lots of exercise of classes, Yoga, golf, bunco, mah jongg to keep me busy till then.

Don and I took Sophie and Ben to see Suessical the Musical and were quite impressed with the production and the Herberger Youth Theater. The ages of the actors in the company were anywhere from 11 to 19 and they were fabulous. It's one of the best shows we've ever seen.

The next time you hear from me it'll be April. Can you believe it? I'm in my spring cleaning mode so the house is in disarray--a mess, but I'll be so happy when there's a place for everything and everything is in it's place.
