At 9.30 I met Gilbert and Chris for breakfast downtown. Returned home and have spent the rest of the day reading our local paper (10 minutes) and the rest of the NY paper. I have had a fabulous day. Now I have to tell NY to discontinue delivering my paper for the font is too small. I will read the two papers that are coming to me, hoping I won't speed up my macular condition.
Just looking at the ads gave me a thrill and I remember how much I enjoyed the paper when I lived in New York in 1938. I did not have the money to buy the paper but by Monday when the rest of the people in the house had finished with it, it came to me, the lowest person on the totem pole. Every cent I earned, ( I think I was payed $60 or 70 and room and board,) had to be set aside for my future education. I have had a great day.

Your wonderful day made my day a wonderful one. Reading your posts is like watching a feel-good movie - your long life certainly reflects on your way of taking it easy. And your sense of humour makes me giggle. Keep up the good work.
I'm glad you had a wonderful day. I have the Van Gogh book on my Amazon wish list. You know a Kindle might be great for you. If I am not mistaken, you can adjust the font which would be easier on your eyes. Books are cheaper, plus no shelf space needed. You could also read the NY Times on it, I think. I myself don't have one yet.
Hope today is another wonderful day for you.
Hello. It's so nice to hear from you frequently again!
I have the same memories about the New York times, I was too poor as a student to get it so i would read it at the library. The world was a different place....
