PT and Honking

 Today, I had my first therapy session for my back. I went to ortho doctor about my right shoulder, hip, and knee. I am not sure why since I only mentioned the back problem when talking about walking with pain. 

So, I told therapist I was not going to have any back manipulation. She agreed. Lack of balance is bigger problem. It was a good session with work on balance. She gave me a printout of the exercises so I could do them at home. She approved of the grounding mat and my Legxercise pedals.

When I hear someone honk near us, I immediately ask Tommy who is honking? Are they honking at us? What is happening? He gets mad at my questions. 

I grew up in Memphis where honking was banned except in a serious situation. There was no honking at friends, honking because a person did not go soon enough after a light changed. Memphis was a quiet city. 

When we moved to Cullman, we lived a block from a hospital where signs were posted for no honking. Even ambulances had to shut off any sirens. I lived there for 50 years. So, honking alarms me. Plus, I wonder what Tommy did to cause honking, not that he was wrong. 

Afteer my therapy we collected the ads from all three stores. Tommy will make lists tonight. I wonder what will be bogo or otherwise on sale. Of course, the ad will go through Wednesday instead of through Tuesday.

Mid 90 F Here in Memphis, Too.

Tommy and I drove to Memphis today for my 55th high school reunion. Do not ever depend on me to make reservations. I chose a hotel 12 miles from the venue for the dinner. AND, I thought I chose one with complimentary breakfast. Breakfast buffet is $13.99!

That is okay. We ate at Coletta's Italian restaurant and have to-go boxes full of pasta meals.

I remember eating at Coletta's when I was in preschool. The people even know who the little girl my age was there in the restaurant when I was a child. Aunt *****.

The weather could not have been more beautiful for the trip--blue skies and fluffy clouds. The temps were in 90s but with ac, no problem.

Usually, we have a band, entertainment, and dancing and a fabulous buffet. This time, a room in Coletta', order and pay for what you want to eat and drink. We had lots of conversation as usual. FUN!

I had the choice of two outfits to wear. I wore the one Tommy wanted me to wear. At the end after questioning several times, he said I looked on the younger end of my classmates. But, everyone looked great, and I had a good time. So, now I can start counting down for the next five years for our 60th reunion.

Do you go to hs reunions? Do you enjoy them. Got any reunion stories?
