THERE ARE ALWAYS CHANGES
It never fails, every season when I come down to Florida there are always changes, some good, some not so good.

LIBRARY

The old West Atlantic library has been replaced with a spanking new LARGE building, The Delray Public Library. The old library was closer for me, it met my needs and had an adequate parking lot. Once a month I attended a book review given by a charming and knowledge person. Nora's favorite expression was, "in my opinion." I learned from that!

In order for me to get to the new library I have to travel a little further. Once you approach the building it's like you are going to an high-end development. The road has many curves, then finally you get to the HUGE parking lot!

This community has loads of seniors who have all kinds of physical limitations. Even when they park in a handicapped spot, it's still a long walk to the building. The planning committee must have been "young" not to realize that design is not good for "elders."

While visiting the library I inquired about "Nora's" scheduled book reviews. She is no longer doing them at that branch, she's doing them at a library in another city! My friends and I enjoy her so much, we will make the effort and try to catch her at her new location.

GAMES

The once a month card game is still intact.

We meet in the afternoon and then go out to eat, makes for an enjoyable day.

MAH JONGG

Last season we had six players. The game only requires four but it's always good to have more than you need, someone is sick, has company or is going on a trip.

So far this season there are only two of us available. Two "girls haven't come down yet, one "girl" is just getting out of rehab and another "girl" is not coming down any more.

Hopefully we'll start playing in a few weeks.

THE WAGON

The newer developments in this area have coffee shops and bars in their pool areas. My community is one of the oldest and does not have that available BUT this season they have a wagon that visits each pool area twice a day with coffee, cold drinks and snacks.

The news is out, they now will be selling beer and wine also! I'll drink to that!!

I used to welcome changes, but the older I get, the more I like things to stay the same. Sorry about the library, Millie!

Hi Millie, Changes are very important. Sometimes we also have to change the way we LOOK at things and the things we look at will change. President-elect Obama promised changes to our beautiful country. I hope he succeeds!
Go with the flow and enjoy each day.
Getting older is a difficult change to get used to BUT...what is the Alternative?
So enjoy the journey we really don't have too many choices!
Looking forward to coming down to Florida and hope to find some Mah Jongg games and other interesing Events to make pleasant memories. Nanci

Sounds to me that you are getting used to some of those changes Millie.
Cold drinks and snacks twice a day around the pool sounds just fine to me.

You certainly have enough going on to keep you entertained, Millie. I envy you because it's dullsville here.

I played Mah Jongg 47 years ago, but the couple we played with moved and we never found anyone else who knew the game. I loved it.

I would be sad about the library too. I hope you can find the book review lady at her new location.

Those drinks sure look good.

Florida sounds like the place to be. We're having our coldest winter for several years but it's still not as bad as other parts of the world.

Hi Millie! I've enjoyed your blog for quite some time. I love your stories and all that you do.

If you are not too busy may I invite you to come on over to Stover Lane for a quick visit. I posted about Mary whose son just celebrated 29 years with the armed forces. In my post I have a link to her and I thought it would be nice if everyone would leave her a nice comment. He and his son served in Iraq together.

God bless, my friends!

Although the game is free to play, we have to cost some shaiya money to buy our favorite equipment. shaiya gold is the important one in the Shaiya Game, when I begin to come into contact with the wonderful Online Game. Every one also likes playing this Shaiya game with some shaiya online gold. Their primary goal of cheap shaiya gold is not damage infliction, but rather keeping foes away from other party members. So I have decided to buy shaiya gold to try playing this game first.
If you do not like upgrading level step by step, you can cost rohan gold to help your character to reach level high. rohan crone has many ways for us to use. When you start the Rohan Online game, your character will be level 1. I remembered that when I started playing this Rohan game with some little cheap rohan money. My friends all told me that the best way to spend rohan online gold is a good way. But I could not like spending my own rohan online crone.
