A Great Day
Yesterday was a great day. It started off cool and sunny, then segued to warm and sunny. Everyone seemed to be jolly, from the man who held the door for me at the post office to the dog rolling in a long-dead squirrel by the side of the road. Even the radio jockeys, notorious for their innane chatter, played great songs with few commercials.
A co-worker had invited me to an investment/retirement planning seminar. I went more out of friendship than anything else, but it was interesting and conveniently located down the highway from my lunch date. I ate fruit and drank coffee (great Cadillac Coffee!!) while listening to what do with a $1 million investment for retirement. I don’t have $1 million, let alone the $10K minimum, but it was interesting.
Then I went to lunch with Michele, my old college roomie, friend, confidente, and shoe expert. She took the edge off my hunt for sensible shoes, which I must wear from now until my death.
*sniffle!* Good-bye, O Turquoise Sandals with 3-inch Cork Heels! I will miss you!
She chauffeured me to a hardware store to pick up toggles and hooks and then to a coffee shop. Coffee!!!
I arrived home to find several messages from friends/family (which always does wonders for me). Then I joined another friend at the firework display at the Marine City Octoberfest.
“Octoberfest in September?” you say.
To which I can only reply, “BEER!”
The evening was cold enough for jackets, but it made the display over the St. Clair River that much clearer. And it was gorgeous, especially the five different types of Roman candles and the coil of bright lights. How do they do that?
