It has been very nice having this week off. Yesterday Barb and I went to the American Medical Center; I got my flu shot and she saw the doctor. We then went downtown to shop for boots. We both found pairs. It is was very hard to find them big enough to fit me. We had lunch and looked for an English book store we read about. It was very hard to find. We each bought two novels. We went to TGI Fridays for a coffee and then to the market for vegies. We also did lots of window shopping. We each found a two wheeled cart which was great! I'm getting tennis elbow in my left elbow from carrying too many packages. I may look like an old lady using it but I don't care. We then to Barb's for supper and a movie. We watched "The Painted Veil." It was very good. When I got home I started making chicken soup.

Barb bought me a pretty little coin pouch in Turkey. Her and her daughter went there for 4 days.

This morning the Lewis's are having people over for brunch at 10:30.

Wednesday I went to the commissary with another teacher and stocked up on food. I'm really glad I found out he was going there. I have some familiar food again.
