Monday morning I headed over the Great Clips for a much-needed hair cut. It had been 5 weeks since I had had one so I got my money's worth! The wind was awful on Monday; the desert dirt was blowing everywhere! Monday night when we went out to eat I tried to cover my mouth and nose to keep from breathing at all when I was outside. We met Mac, Audrey and Jim Glick at View Point for burgers. We were home early!
Tuesday I had ladies' bridge in the afternoon; terrible cards again this week! Tuesday night Dorine & Roger picked us up for taco night at the golf club; afterwards we went to Dorine's and played cards and farkle. Dorine and I cleaned the men's clock in pinochle!!! Yeah!
Wednesday afternoon I had mixed bridge; once again my cards were terrible! I enjoyed it anyway. Wednesday night we stayed home and rested~
Thursday morning I got up early and tackled the condo...much-needed cleaning! Gary tried to get the black dirt off front and back decks as well. Everything was really dirty! I took a long walk after the work was done. Thursday afternoon we went to the movie Act of Valor. It was terrific! Anyone who doesn't appreciate what our special forces do for our freedom and safety need to see this movie. People in the theater actually applauded when it was over. I can't begin to describe the type of individual like these Navy Seals who put their life on the line so we can live in a free country. However, I am so disillusioned with our country; I absolutely cannot imagine how a Christian can support any politician who favors killing unborn babies. This issue and the moral decay of our society is ruining our country...not to mention the dumbing down of our children! I visited with a retired teacher from NY at bridge and he lamented about the illiterate electorate and the terrible condition of schools in our country. There is just so much wrong and it seems there is no light at the end of the tunnel. At least to me, until we stop the murder of the unborn, we will continue to see more and more disregard for life in general...more school shootings, drug murders, etc. Anyway, I must say that my appreciation for the military was certainly reinforced while viewing the acts of pure valor that the movie portrayed. The fact that we have a son who is completing 20 years of service as a Green Beret the end of this month really makes me fill with pride for his accomplishments. Thank God for all the good, honest people in the USA who still have some moral compass!
