New electronics and the last day of school

The TV and DVD player arrived today. I am now on a first name basis with Ken of UPS. This is his third trip here. Anyway, he likes my yard; and my equipment which was shipped in factory boxes, not plain brown ones. So Ken knows what goodies I have.

Today was big GD's last day of school and her mom dropped her off at 12:30. I said I would take her somewhere special for lunch and she picked Panda Express. She even split a meal with me. She was a happy and cheap date. They don't go there because little GD has a peanut allergy. You can't be sure with peanuts and peanut oil in the cooking area that the food is safe. Anyway, everything in Napa seemed to be hopping. I think it was HS graduation day. There is a stadium not too far away. I could hear the PA system, horns honking, and people cheering. My neighborhood was jammed with cars. I guess someone was having a party.

I'm not positive, but I think there is only one public HS in Napa, unlike Phoenix which has hundreds and the graduations have to be staggered so they can use the venues big enough for the crowds hundreds of graduates bring. Used to be Phoenix did graduations on the football fields where everybody sat in the evening sun and sweated copiously. These younger generations refuse to accept the sacrifices we made back in the old days, ha ha, but not too ha ha. Really!

My daughter marked the library and pool on my mapa Napa. Big GD checked out some books for me. We met the rest of the family at the pool. It is a private one in a development. They have to belong. Today being the last day of school there were a lot of kids there. I just got a lounge chair in the shade of a tree and crocheted for a few hours. Quite pleasant. If you haven't sat by the pool in Phoenix in 110 weather in mid day, you might not appreciate this as much as I did.

They invited me to go to pizza with some families but at six they were still all planning showers and hair washing, so I left. Got groceries and fixed dinner. Seems quite special to be cooking just for me, but I'm not sure why. Not that I've never lived alone. I have some cleaver things to say about cooking and eating kale, but I am so tired. I would like to say it is very good for bad eyes and is the consistency of packing material.

I am so sleepy and I think sun screen is dripping in my eye. I need to crash.
