Sunday, November 1: Meeting w/ Friends. Last day & Café

This morning we got up around 9 o’clock Eastern standard time. Yes indeed the clocks were turned back today to start the process of getting darker and darker throughout the winter and stuff like that. We also got up at to meet Betty at the Capitol One café. Mary has not seen her in a while. I’d last solar at Mary’s mom‘s funeral so it’s been a while. We met at the Capitol One and we really had a nice time hanging out and talking and cheering. We had a little snack and coffee. We then walked to Rittenhouse Square on a lovely fall day that we had. We set our goodbyes and headed out to Mary‘s house. We dropped off the coterie board charcuterie board That Betty had bought Mary for her birthday. It’s very nice made by hand, etc. It’s very nice wood you can’t wash it with soap that’s how nice it is. Anyhow, we then headed to the café and we had called earlier for a reservation and the table was reserved for all of us. Larry showed up like about two minutes late and had found a parking spot across the street from the café, which is a modern miracle considering how difficult it is to find parking there. We all hung out and had a really fun time. We shared about all kinds of stuff from childhood to our trip to Alaska to Larry’s trip to Alaska. He had visited Alaska with his wife back in 2019. Wife’s name is Allen by the way back then Larry was very heavy my God he he’s really in shape today compared to what he looked like in 2019. He had a trip to China that really made him think seriously about taking care of himself. I won’t tell that story. Anyhow, it’s now 3:21 PM. Mary got some shoes from Amazon as well as a couple other items for household help. Mike called and said that his sister and nephew did show up and moved his stuff. In fact, the Nephew encouraged him to throw other stuff out that I didn’t get them to throw out which was good. The only bad news is, they found roaches in the bed, which is a little troubling, so the drama continues. Anyhow, Mike has no electricity today because the effective date of the turnaround of power is not till tomorrow. So we’re heading out to Yoga.
