Today, David's sister came and picked us up and off we went to a 90th birthday celebration at an elderly persons' residence out on Roblin Blvd. Quite a trip with all of the construction around the city,and the Manitoba Marathon being run through the city today. The building we went to was, at one time, a personal care home run by the Oddfellows, but has now been converted into individual suites, with a common dining room. I'm not sure what level of care they provide, but the facility appeared very nice--nice gardens etc. Pretty good for a building dating from 1920. The party was for June McTaggert, mother of my teenage BFF, Judy Wynne. June, and her first husband were very close to David's parents, a relationship that lead to David and I meeting. It was a "come and go" reception, so we stayed for a little less than an hour, but it was nice to touch base again, after all these years.
Since getting home we have both vegg'ed out watching Border Security, We couldn't even be bothered cooking supper, and instead made some salmon sandwiches. Neither of us has any energy or initiative. This was a short outing, and Gail did the driving, so why are we both so exhausted? Doesn't make sense. There must be some happy medium between being constantly busy, as I see in the next generation, and not having the ambition to do anything.
