102 #1c

A good day up here in 102. Linda just beat me handily in a card game called 31 (in all our years together, we've never played this game and I do wonder if she's changing the rules to keep winning - altho I did manage a win at crib earlier this morning!). She had a substantial (for her) lunch of half a turkey sandwich, a piece of cheddar, and some fruit cocktail. And we've finally found a liquid that has some good electrolyte stuff in it and isn't too sweet - Gatorade (I rue my scoffing at those tv ads now). Anyway we're going off for a walk and then she'll don her Roughriders' gear (actually just a green cordoroy jacket) for the big game. I'm going to take a break from football (heresy, I know) and go and see Cher in Burlesque while Linda watches the game - I'm sure she'll have lots of company as nurses and residents keep popping in to see how the eastern final is going.

  1. I remember 31, and I think she cheated way back when... LOL Gotta have energy for the game so glad you're eating. I'm having a very nutritional lunch of David's caramel corn ;) We've got the game on, so were thinking about ya. BRRR! Looks way too cold for those bare arms, never mind catch a ball. GO GREEN and hugs to you both!

  2. Wow I haven't played 31 in a hundred years.
    Well Linda My Alouettes are in, here's hoping the Roughriders come though, They just intercepted with less than a minute in the half, hope they score.
    Lorraine I always use pedialyte to replace electrolytes, not nearly as sweet.
    TOUCHDOWN ROUGHRIDERS, LEADING BY 3 POINTS AS THE 1ST HALF WINDS UP. WOOHOOO!!!!

  3. WHAT A GAME!!! WOOT! I have no neighbour friends here even close to being Rider fans, so it's great to be cheering with YOU. How's your blood pressure? :) hugs to you both.

  5. Game On is right!! What a last nine minutes that was. Now if we (the Riders) can only remember to count to 12 (not 13!) in next weekend's Grey Cup!

    I'm raising a glass of green Gatorade with you, Linda, in honour of next weekend's game!

    (sorry, Lorraine . . . .looks like you'll have to put up with some football banter for one more week!)

  6. I don't watch Football. I think the hot dogs at the games are the best part of going to the game. Hope the movie was good Lorraine. Sounds like a better day there in Calgary. The dogs are great they have had their dinner and are waiting to sit on our laps and watch TV. Love Liz and Jim

  7. Linda & Lorraine I think I heard the WOOOHOOO all the way hear. Great game and fun to watch. Lorraine, hopefully Cher was equally entertaining. Next week I am sure we will all hear the GO RIDERS!! Take care.
