I met with the District Veteran Coordinator of the County and two women from Veteran's First, an organization that helps homeless Vets.There were several of us there for the meeting. The main purpose of this meeting was to inform us that Veterans First has opened the very first home in Orange County for female homeless Vets. Seems these women are forgotten by our government and have a hard time getting any assistance. There was an effort to meld a few of these women into the transition houses for the men. Needless to say, that didn't work out.
The whole gist was they needed everything. Clothes, pot and pans, dishes, silverware, personal products, towels, sheets for twin beds etc. There is so much need in this world, it is frightening.
After that we were out in the parking lot loading the Veterans First girl/'s car with clothes and some of the items we had stored to go to the male Vets, as we were doing that, the DA drove up and wanted to go in for a drink. I said no and off he went.
I went to my favorite hang out and ran into the man that took me to the museum. Next to him was this handsome man that was fun to talk to and lived in my town. He gave me his business card and I told him I would email him I got up to go tot he ladie's room and when I returned he had bought my drink and ordered another one for me and paid....what a concept. Someone I met should take a page out of that book.
The next morning I had an appointment to go to the local florist supply with a gal to purchase ribbon and other items for the center pieces I'm making. That only took about a half hour. I decided I better get myself home and get a couple of things done around the house. Since I planned on going to Newport Beach to meet a couple for dinner. I need to get ten posters done for the Fashion Show and they knew someone that had offered to do them free of charge. Yea!
Today I"m kind of home free. Desi is coming to take me out this evening for dinner and dancing. Saturday afternoon and evening are free and then Sunday there is a brunch and I have a coffee date in the afternoon....wait until I tell you who with, if it transpires.
Have a good weekend.

WEDNESDAY.....
I attended a new club meeting last night for women helping women. My friend told me about it and since the speaker was talking about online dating, I thought it would be interesting to attend and see what they were going to talk about. The newspaper columnist that started this club was there and talked to all the new people that had come to either join or see what it was all about. She is a talented, interesting person.
The speaker for this event was another writer, but a man. I found it interesting that he would be telling women what was up on the dating sites. For me, I didn't find any of his information new and have found that it is all the same no matter what. I left prior to the panel discussion and that is another story.
I had a cell call while I was driving to the meeting and it was the younger man that had called me late the prior night. He was in the area and thought we should meet for a glass of wine. I was driving, so didn't really read the message clearly. I told him I would meet him, but that it would be several hours later.I picked Mortons, which was close to my meeting place, and he said fine.
I met him there and we had our glass of wine and talked for an hour or so. The waitress brought the bill and we talked some more. I wasn't paying much attention to anything and told him we should leave. He had an hour to drive home and I had an early morning appointment. He walked me out to my car and as we were standing there, the waitress came out and had the bill in her hand. Well, seems he didn't have any money with him and expected me to pay the bill. He said, "I guess you didn't read my text." I said, "not fully," He said he was very short on money right now and the text had said that he thought I should take him for a glass of wine.
Now if anyone knows me, I don't and never have paid for anything for a man. In this case, I didn't have a choice. After I paid the waitress the money, $40.00 with the tip for two glasses of wine, it was Morton's after all, and he had ordered the wine, which wasn't cheap.. He asked if I was upset about having to pay. I didn't want to say yes, because one never knows how people will react. I said no and left and drove out of the parking lot. I immediately got a text from him saying, " the next time we should leave by the bathroom window." I texted him back and said , "this was one of the reasons I didn't date young men." He returned the text with, " Thanks, Wow! So, that will be that with him. I still kept thinking he was really a replica, looks wise, although younger then Desi. Desi would never do that to me. Of course, I guess I should have read the message and paid more attention to what he said. Live and learn.
I also had a call from the DA I know that asked why I wasn't at the meeting that I usually go to on Tuesday nights. After I had texted the younger guy I called the DA back and told him I was at another meeting and that I would be attending a meeting this afternoon and if he was there I'd see him. Seems it is always raining men.
So today is another busy day and I will report what goes on tomorrow or later tonight.

MONDAY FOR SURE.....
This is another one of those days. I really have to start writing things down, as everything is running together. I keep a calendar on my iPhone but things keep changing daily, if I remember to add or change things I'm fine, if not I'm lost
I bought eight backpacks at Walgreen's today for the "motel kids." These are children that don't have homes and move with their parents from motel to motel. Some of them have never been inside of a house. It is such a sad state of affairs out there in the real world. When you live in an upscale neighborhood it really isolates you to the plight of so many people.
Also, with all the other things going on, decorating for functions, buying supplies etc, I've been running around all day.
I stopped to see a friend of mine that was in re-hab and had a nice visit with her. I sympathize with her, as she had knee surgery. Been there done that. Big Ouch!!
On the man front. The man I saw the other night, that looks like Desi, texted me just as I was falling asleep, to tell me he was happy to have met me and was very interested in seeing how things progressed between us. He ended by saying, "have sweet dreams." Since I was almost asleep I was not amused. Of course I could have turned off the ringer on the phone. I still haven't decided if I want to see him again.
I sent a text to Desi this morning asking if he actually was coming back into the State on Thursday night and were we going out on Friday as we planned, or was he going to cancel? I got a text back immediately saying "no he wasn't cancelling." So, I guess that means he is actually showing up. I wasn't going text him but I want to arrange my weekend so I thought I better find out. Desi said he would call me tonight and it was beyond hot were he was working.
Also touched base with a girl I used to model with years ago. We hadn't talked for a long time and we decided we needed to get together to have lunch soon.
So I'm off to make some sense of what I'm doing and make lists of things that need to be done.
Going as fast as I can.

SUNDAY....
Interesting and super busy life right now. I guess I better enjoy and do what I can while I can, Father Time creeps up soon enough.
Yesterday I went to the club I belong to for a birthday brunch. We had about sixty people and they awarded some of the women that have been members for a long time, pins. Since next year will be my twentieth year I didn't get any recognition but it didn't matter. We had a great table of women and enjoyed ourselves.
After the brunch the Hawaii-California State President and his wife were visiting from Hawaii and we went in to meet them and sit and have a drink. A little early but we managed to do it anyway. One was enough. The above took up most of the day and I got home around two.
I thought I was going to rest up but I received a phone call from a guy that has been calling me for a couple of weeks. He asked me to meet him for a drink at a place that is in a large shopping center near the house. Since I still had my hair and makeup done I decided to meet him I did change into slacks and a top since I had heels and a dress on for the brunch. Yes, heels...since I met Desi I've been wearing them at his request. He likes tall women.
So, I tootled down and met this man who again lives about an hour away, but was in the area visiting friends. He was a big surprise as he almost was a replica of Desi. He had grey hair and a beard. He wasn't as tall, shorter by maybe two or three inches, but the same type personality and big. He also did a lot of things Desi does, like write. The only downside I see with him is he is seven years younger then Desi. I don't know why I can't deal with men my age, but I'm so not into older men. These younger men seem to be into older women, and I am, so it works.
We had a great conversation for about two hours but decided to leave as the place was really noisy. He suggested we take a walk around some of the shopping center and I wanted to go buy some thigh high nylons. I find them much comfortable then panty hose, not that I wear hose a lot, but when I do I want to be comfortable. The clerk at the store made the comment that she thought we were so cute together. I told him he could wait outside of the store and he said, "are you kidding." So in he came with me. What a guy!
After I made my purchase we walked towards the shopping center's valet parking. He asked if I was in a hurry and I said, "no." We sat on one of the benches and continued talking and people watching. As we were sitting this black man was walking by and turned and walked up fast to us. I thought he might be going for my purse and I put my arm into the handle He had this big smile on his face and asked if our parents knew we were out. My guy had his arm around me and I think the man that walked up thought we were going to make out any minute. We weren't and didn't. It was pretty funny and we did get a big laugh out of it. We decided we could get into trouble without really trying and were getting way to much notice. This happens with Desi too. Maybe because we are all tall, who knows?
So after sitting and talking some more I decided I better get home, it was only eight thirty but I had been attending things since the a.m. and thought I'd better get some rest.
I had been home about an hour and was on the sofa when the phone rang and it was the man that I had met for a drink. He said he had just arrived home and wanted to call me to tell me, again, that he wanted to see me. He had made the statement when we were talking that everyone he had met he only saw once. That sounds like me. Desi is the only man, out of over thirty, that I've seen more then once. I may just meet this man again, I have to think about it. I just don't want him to be a close facsimile of Desi and that be the only reason I meet with him.
Speaking of Desi, he is still AWOL....out of State as per usual and is suppose to be back this coming Thursday night. We'll see if he returns when he said he was going to. As I said before, he is always a challange.
Have a great day all,

ANOTHR WEEK....
Friday already. I took my step grand daughter out Wednesday night for taco night at the Elks. It was her choice to go there, which surprised me as I had told her to pick any restaurant she wanted to go and the Elks was where she chose.
The Mexican food is always good and one of the cooks has a wife that makes a dish that is just wonderful. There are always a lot of people in attendance probably because the price is right. How about $2.00 Margaritas....and inexpensive food.
The place was really busy and we had a great dinner and chatted for a couple of hours. She had friends that were visiting from back East that used to live in the area and had dropped them off at one of the local shopping centers. She needed to go pick them up, so she left to do that.
I stayed and talked to a lot of people that I know there. I should have gone home, but I didn't and I ended up staying way to late. I had a meeting in the morning for the fashion show that came way to early the next day. I have to remember to stop burning the candles at both ends. It is a lot of fun though and I was tied down for so long it is a treat to be able to do what you want to do.
I managed to avoid several guys that were way to interested. Why is it when they see a women alone they think that your desperate for male company and make it a point to let you know that you would be more then happy to be with them. In most of the cases that just isn't true. The level of men out there is dismal from what I can see. They are either needy, horny, drunks, or some other unacceptable genre. I think that is why I keep staying with Desi, we at least get each other.
Today is the start of the weekend. I just got a call regarding another meeting I'm suppose to be involved in for Halloween. This meeting is today plus I received an email last night from the head of the Veterans group that is requesting a meeting in the very near future. I am getting so involved in so many things, I'm running over to get some dresses altered then coming back home and staying in tonight, at least at this point I'm staying home. You never know what the phone or email will bring.

ANOTHER BUSY DAY...
Yesterday, Tuesday, proved to rival Monday. It started out at six a.m.with my cell phone waking me up with the sound of a text message being sent to me. I looked at it and it was Desi who was at the airport leaving for his trip. He said a few nice things and I sent him a reply.
Since I was awake I got up and got myself ready for the day. I had a call from my friend who had items to give me for the Veterans the night before. I called her at 8:00 a.m. and woke her up. She always got up early and I always slept in, we have changed our schedules to be exactly opposite.
I made arrangements to drive to her house around 9:30 a.m. to pick the items up to deliver to the man that collects these things to be delivered to the homeless Vets. I then drove to a restaurant to see the owner and give him paperwork on the charity I'm working on. I'm after him to donate some dinners and place an ad in the brochure. After the meeting with him I segued to a craft store. I'm doing center pieces for the fashion show that is being held this year and the State dinner that will be in April.
I found the things I needed to do the centerpiece prototypes, then drove home. By this time it was the middle of the afternoon and I decided I better rest up before going to pack the items for the Vets in Afghanistan in the early evening. I arrived at the club, went back to pack boxes and then ordered dinner. After the dinner I went to the meeting that was being held. I usually don't stay for the meeting since it goes until 9:30 or later. I left after the meeting and decided to stop at the restaurant I had been to in the morning to see if the owner was there so I could talk to him again.
I walked in the place and outside on the patio, which is positioned as you enter, was a group of people I knew. I told them I couldn't have an affair if I tried, everywhere I go I run into people that I know. I sat at the bar and said hello to the young girls that work there. There was a man sitting next to me that was, per his statement, a lawyer. He had just feted his daughter and grand daughter and decided it was to early to stay home an came out for a drink.
I had one drink, on me, since the owner wasn't there to talk to, got up to leave when I finished it. The lawyer handed me his card and said, " give me a call." Right, I'll do that, when hell freezes over. Good grief it is always raining men.
So today I'm home most of the day and then tonight I'm taking my step-grand daughter to dinner.
Have a good one!

SHADES OF THE PAST...
Interesting how things go each day. This morning I started out attending a funeral of a friend of mine that passed away. After that I went to the reception and saw a lot of people that were mutual friends and had a deli lunch and talked to a lot of people that I hadn't seen for a while.
I needed to leave the reception as I had a dental appointment, but first it was the car wash and gas station. After that it was the grocery store to pick up bread, sour dough....a big story about that. then home to brush my teeth due to the fact that I had a dental appointment to have my replacement crowns put in. I swear, I am now wearing my new sofa in my mouth that I haven't been able to purchase because of the expense.
Desi had told me he was coming straight from the airport to see me and I thought he probably wouldn't due to the fact that he had traveled all day across the country. However, low and behold he did come and actually was on time. I didn't return home from the dentist until five o'clock and was putting my garbage cans away when he drove up. There is such a connection between us, it is always like it is a brand new experience when we see each other.. Sometimes I wish I had never met him, he screws it up for all the other men I've met. It is just way too comfortable when we're together.
Of course being true to form he could only stay a little while and then had to go home to repack to leave for Texas the next day in the early a.m. He travels more then my brother, which is saying something. He had a bad end of the week with his ex wife's funeral and attending to all of that. He said that he felt so much better seeing me and he was happy to be with me. He left with promises of a date when he got back and told me he was cutting his time in Texas short because he wanted to see me sooner. Hmmm, do you think I might be getting to him? Maybe! It is just so nice having someone that you connect with and have fun with without drama even if it is only once in a while.
To explain the sourdough bread, I made egg salad and cut up fresh fruit for Desi who was suppose to be here on Sunday.. He really likes sourdough and I thought I'd accommodate his preferences. He ended up taking an egg salad sandwich in the car when he drove home on Monday.
After he left I had a phone call from a man, totally unexpected, that I've seen off and on for a while. We are just friends, but I enjoy his company. He asked me to join him for a drink and a snack and I thought, since it was early, why not. It is so great to be free and be able to do what you want. This meeting was nice and we caught up on what he was dong. We have a good rapport and we are exactly the same age. He doesn't want to get old either. Maybe we are both retarded.
I almost forgot that as I was sitting at the car wash I had a cell phone call from a man that was coming to Orange County to play tennis and wanted to meet that night. I was busy with Desi so I said that wouldn't work for me. He then said he was coming down Thursday for business reasons and would I like to meet for coffee. This guy is fifty, a little young for me, but is very sharp verbally. I'm always up for talking to people that have something on the ball and have something to say, it is something I have always gravitated towards. You learn something from everyone you meet.
I'm off all the dating sites at this point but that hasn't stopped me from meeting or hearing from various people. So today was shades of the past with me seeing two men and almost a third. Do you think that might be wrong....Nah! Life is to short and if you enjoy what your doing, do it. Especially at my age....I'm making up for lost time.
Hugs,

I swear, I am now wearing my new sofa in my mouth that I haven't been able to purchase because of the expense.
Desi had told me he was coming straight from the airport to see me and I thought he probably wouldn't due to the fact that he had traveled all day across the country. However, low and behold he did come and actually was on time. I didn't return home from the dentist until five o'clock and was putting my garbage cans away when he drove up. There is such a connection between us, it is always like it is a brand new experience when we see each other.. Sometimes I wish I had never met him, he screws it up for all the other men I've met. It is just way too comfortable when we're together.
Of course being true to form he could only stay a little while and then had to go home to repack to leave for Texas the next day in the early a.m. He travels more then my brother, which is saying something. He had a bad end of the week with his ex wife's funeral and attending to all of that. He said that he felt so much better seeing me and he was happy to be with me. He left with promises of a date when he got back and told me he was cutting his time in Texas short because he wanted to see me sooner. Hmmm, do you think I might be getting to him? Maybe! It is just so nice having someone that you connect with and have fun with without drama even if it is only once in a while.
To explain the sourdough bread, I made egg salad and cut up fresh fruit for Desi who was suppose to be here on Sunday.. He really likes sourdough and I thought I'd accommodate his preferences. He ended up taking an egg salad sandwich in the car when he drove home on Monday.
After he left I had a phone call from a man, totally unexpected, that I've seen off and on for a while. We are just friends, but I enjoy his company. He asked me to join him for a drink and a snack and I thought, since it was early, why not. It is so great to be free and be able to do what you want. This meeting was nice and we caught up on what he was dong. We have a good rapport and we are exactly the same age. He doesn't want to get old either. Maybe we are both retarded.
I almost forgot that as I was sitting at the car wash I had a cell phone call from a man that was coming to Orange County to play tennis and wanted to meet that night. I was busy with Desi so I said that wouldn't work for me. He then said he was coming down Thursday for business reasons and would I like to meet for coffee. This guy is fifty, a little young for me, but is very sharp verbally. I'm always up for talking to people that have something on the ball and have something to say, it is something I have always gravitated towards. You learn something from everyone you meet.
I'm off all the dating sites at this point but that hasn't stopped me from meeting or hearing from various people. So today was shades of the past with me seeing two men and almost a third. Do you think that might be wrong....Nah! Life is to short and if you enjoy what your doing, do it. Especially at my age....I'm making up for lost time.
Hugs,
