First, a picture of my favorite park because it is close to home and when I see it I know to tell the taxi driver to stop and just let me out. The rest are of the tennis club.
My thing about taxis. Today, I took one taxi to a store, which was closed, but the taxi had left so I started to walk home and called Betty to say that the store where I had wanted to buy scrubs was closed and she gave me the address to another store. I took a taxi to the other store (who dropped me on the correct street and told me that the store should be somewhere around where he had dropped me). The second store didn't have what I needed and they put me in a taxi to another store which was closed so at that point again I started to walk home at which point I should have grabbed a taxi because instead of heading home I got lost in the middle of a market...I kept my purse close and 8 eyes in my head (2 in front, 2 on the sides and 4 in the back per Bettys instructions). Finally I found my way out of the market and MaryBetty called to say, get a taxi home and after lunch we know where you can go. So I got in a taxi to go home and the man starts driving, but then after a bit he turns to me and admits that he doesn't know where my street is...I give him my map and he gets me home.
After lunch, the woman who does the laundry and cleans the house takes me to the fair and we find scrubs and then she puts me in a taxi home. This taxi driver is so busy singing along to his music that he nearly gets in an accident. Then he gets close to my house takes a wrong turn and five streets later admits that he doesn't know where my street is...if I don't die in, get lost in or get hit by a taxi I will be greatful.
Enough about the scrubs extravaganza...I forgot to mention that prior to the scrub search I got up, at oatmeal squares for breakfast and went to the gym, except for Mike not being with me it could have been any other day in Tucson. Then, this afternoon, we went to the Santa Cruz Tennis Club to swim and relax. It was beautiful! We swam, showered in showers with really good water pressure and good hot water and then ate dinner outside in a light beautiful cool breeze. Got to skype with Mike twice today...about to go on time nuber three, ate a hamburger (with corn on it) for dinner and I am living with a fabulous, generous family. Who could ask for more?
