Good morning y'all. We're expecting liquid sunshine today for our drive to Longwood. Maggie will be in their care for the entire day. She'll have an IV injection of chemotherapy that will work for 3 weeks in her body. Fingers crossed. 

My cousin, Hugh Tawns, in Australia, sent these photos of an early "RV". It's a 1937 Packard. Enjoy ... 

Cool, huh? It's in beautiful condition! 

Back home, I made a batch of Shortbread cookies for my Ya Ya's on December 11th. (It's a cookie trade ... but because of Mark's nut allergy, he's afraid to try anyone's treats!) More for me. Haha. My recipe comes from my mom's Purity Flour cookbook, Circa 1950's. 

Well it's a friggin monsoon! Mark walked me to the car under the big umbrella, but we both got wet anyway. Ha. Then he went back and carried Robbie out under the umbrella. It was hilarious! Robbie was not pleased with the experience. Maggie had her injection at noon, with no adverse reaction! We left home at 3:20 to pick her up! She trotted out of the treatment ward with tail held high and ears up! Everyone in the waiting room was greeted with "Arrrooo!"  LOL What a trooper. Doctor said she stood up for the 20 minute drip and flush, very patiently. Maggie is truly amazing. She has the survivor attitude. 

Sue and Wayne arrived at The Villages about 4 o'clock, in the monsoon. The rain was so heavy they couldn't even plug-in the rig! We drove home in similar conditions.

Our friend Rose H sent along this little humor for the blog. 

"SENIORS & COMPUTERS"

As we 'silver surfers' know, sometimes we have trouble with our computers. Yesterday, I had a problem, so I called Georgie, the 11-year-old who lives next door and whose bedroom looks like Mission Control!  I asked him to come over and look at my computer. 

Georgie came over, clicked a few buttons, and solved the problem.

As he was walking away, I called after him, not wanting to appear stupid, and asked "What was the problem???" 

Georgie replied, "it's an ID-10-T problem". 

"An ID-10-T error? Well, is it something I could fix myself if it happens again?" I asked. 

George grinned and said "You'd better write it down ... I think you might understand."

So I grabbed my pen and I wrote down ID10T. 

"The little rat bastard!  IDIOT!!! And to think I used to like Georgie!" LOL

Hope your day was just what you needed! Ta ta.
