Apples & Aging on the Hodgepodge

It's another gorgeous day in the Plano oven and perfect for staying inside and answering a few questions.

1. As we begin this brand new month tell us, on a scale of 1-10, where does your life fall in terms of being in 'apple pie order'? Please elaborate. (1=nowhere near it, 10=practically perfect in every way)

Because I am a bit Type A, things pretty much stay in "Apple Pie Order" in my house.  Now, outside where things can be a much less controlled environment, it can be somewhat off kilter, so let's level it out with a 7.

We still don't have our patio started so that would be a 2; however, we got news this week that would put us over a 10.  My family and friends in N.O and Baton Rouge area were spared harm from Hurricane Ida, so that's a Big 9 because many were not spared.  Considering everything, I'm sticking with a 7.

2. An apple a day keeps the doctor away...are you doing your part?

If this unopened box counts as doing my part, then yes, I am.

 

Red or green?   RED and SWEET!

Ever played the game Apples to Apples?   Yes

Do you like apple pie? If so, ala mode or just gimme the pie?

Yes and definitely warm and ala mode!

 3. Tell us about a time recently where you 'upset the apple cart' or the last time someone 'upset your apple cart'? 

I may be upsetting someone's apple cart a little bit regarding the HOA Board issues for which I am responsible, but nothing that can't be fixed.

4. What are three words that come to mind when you think of September?

Busy, Birthday #81, Anniversary #56

 

5. What are you most looking forward to this month?

There are so many things happening this month that I am looking forward to.

• Indiana grandson and his wife coming Labor Day weekend
• Dick celebrates his 81st birthday on the 2nd

• We celebrate 56 years together on the 4th

• Dick has 2nd cataract surgery - 1st went great
• Dinners out with numerous friends

• Ladies Bible Study begins
• Senior Adult Hymn Sing at church
• Dick performing the wedding of two 81 year old school friends

• Ava Grace's performance of "Into The Woods"
• Cooler temperatures

6. Insert your own random thought here.

We have decided both our social calendar and entertainment  budget may be taking a hard hit this fall.  We have never been so busy since retiring, but isn't that wonderful?
