April was a busy month, with sports activities with our grandchildren and social events around Summerset and with other friends and family. We celebrated Passover as well as Easter. There were lots of baseball games and soccer games for the grandchildren. And there were several birthdays among our family and friends with lots of celebrating.
April 25th was National Red Hat Society Day. A few of the Scarlett Ladies and I went out in our red hats and enjoyed a yogurt and some conversation. The people around town seem to enjoy seeing us in our purple outfits and red hats just enjoying ourselves. As you may know, Red Hatters is a "disorganization" with no agenda other than to have fun.
Unfortunately, we lost a few members of Summerset Singers in April. There will be a memorial service for Ben Smith this week. It's one of the hard things about living here. Many of us moved in at the same time, and many at nearly the same age. So the good news is we're growing old together, and the bad news is, we're growing old.
Later in May I'll be heading to Houston to see my granddaughter in a play. It's been too long since I went to Houston last (I checked; it was 2007). Veronica was playing the part of (Little Orphan) Annie in "Annie." I'm looking forward to the trip and to spending time with my daughter Julie, son-in-law Rob, granddaughter Ronnie (Veronica), and grandson Kenny. Might even get a chance to see my nephew Marc and his wife Laura. Wherever you live, I hope you're having a beautiful May Day.
