Shopping with Dawn Marie and Tristan

Dawn was very good to take me shopping today. Being Saturday 9yr old Tristan had to go with .. rough on him. Shopping for a suitable dress for the upcoming Wedding. I am so looking forward to being the Grandmother of the Groom.

Looked at Lane Bryant .. nothing. Checked JC Penny .. found just the right dress and a nice little purse to go with. All were within my budget. A very good day.

Tristan tried so hard to help. Finding the right size for us checking color and price with us. He was trying so hard to help. Dawn found several items, not necessiarly for the wedding. Her items were all on very good sale.

We stopped at Game Stop for Tristan to shop. Dawn and I found a place to sit. I was happy that Dawn used the cane. It takes pressure off the knee. We both had walked a bit. Tristan saw no reason to sit .. he's 9yrs old.

Headed out and decided to eat at the Food Court. Tristan was hungery .. for sure. Dawn and I enjoyed eating and sitting.

Headed home .. mission acomplished .. and a good time was had by all.

9/11 2010

Well I'm watching the History Channel. 9/11 102minutes. Remembering the beginning emotions. Jerry and I watched. Was online with Alan. Now I do the remembering alone. The emotions and the resounding ..."WHY". The heros of the day, the Police and Fire Department. And I am sure, like me, they were saying "WHY". Even today .. I say "WHY"?

Saturday Sept 4, 2010

I am carless. Sold my ailing independence.

The new owner has a special needs child. She has a mechanic brother. She can afford MY CAR .. I cannot afford it.

I slept most of the day hiding from the realization .. I am carless.

Low income senior ... that's me. I have services avalible. Taxis, housekeeper and such. Taxis are nice .. I WANT MY CAR BACK.

If this is the worst I have to deal with .. I'll make it. I won't like it .. but I'll make it.
