Although I've been up since four a.m. this morning I feel pretty good. My fellow committee member picked me up at 6:45 to drive us to the O.C. Fairgrounds, where there was a Veterans Stand Down being held for the Homeless Vets. This is a full weekend of food, health care and information for these men and women.
I was wondering how, if these people were homeless they were going to get to the area and that was resolved by buses picking them up.
The Orange County Elks Lodges provided food, breakfast, lunch and dinner and the different Lodges including the American Legion worked the different food venues. Someone donated sixty seven cases of Sunny D and we went through most of it, Eggs, pancakes, sausage etc, were cooked and served by the Elks.
I love the fact that these men and women that receive the help are so thankful for anything they receive.
It went fast as our group only worked the breakfast and then we drove home. Good thinking since the weather has been so brutally hot and going to be hot again today. Luckily I was working inside and they had large tents set up for the Vets to sit under outside.
I had a phone call on my answering machine went I got home from Bruno. He is still in the Desert but said he is coming back on Tuesday. He has a meeting with the man from Florida regarding Disneyland and said we would go out on Thursday but wanted to see me before that. We'll see how much time is taken up with Mr. Florida. He was so funny when I called him back. He said, "what did you do, wait until your boyfriend left so you could call me." I told him that was his M.O. not mine. He told me that he had been more then good.....I think he is too busy not to be. It probably isn't from trying that is for sure, although he says he likes quality not quantity. Guess it is nice to be considered quality.
Bruno is so unpredictable. Just when I get myself in a state over him not calling or texting me, he calls out of the blue and says he misses me. Guess I'm finally learning to take it as it comes and don't obsess about things. Easy to say, but hard to do. I'm an old "foxette" by now and should know better.
Tonight I have dinner out and I need to get my nails perked up again. Diving into ice chests to get Sunny D totally screwed up my manicure.
Off to polish and paint.
