Stoplight

Laura went to watch Barb's pickleball and then she wanted to come and see my softball practice.  I told Barb where my diamond was and when my practice started.  When I was driving to the diamond, I realized I was following Barb and Laura in the CRV.  At the stoplight before we turned into the diamond parking lot, they noticed I was behind them and we waved at each other.  I didn't have to honk at them.

Tracphone

The SIM card for my Tracphone came in the mail today and we tried to set it up.  We had to phone the company and of course with got an automated service.  The first thing they asked for was my Tracphone phone number.  I found the phone number on the phone but when I keyed it in, they told me that that number was no longer in service.  And I couldn't go any further.  I phoned back and this time I said that I wanted to set up a new phone.  They asked for my plan number.  I didn't have a plan yet.  So I was stuck again.  I tried and tried but couldn't get a person on the line.  So Laura tried for me and she finally got someone on the line to talk to and they told me I had to set up a plan before I could set up my phone.  They told me the plan options and I found out they didn't have a pay as you go plan as I thought they did but they did have a cheap plan for $19.95, for 100 units whatever they are, that would last 3 months.  The units are either phone minutes, texts or data but I don't know how many units are used for each type of service.  Then I tested the phone by phoning our land line and it worked.  The man on the phone said they would phone me tomorrow to make sure it worked but he never did. 

Lady Next Door

Laura and I were out in the backyard hitting broken pickleballs.  I would pitch them to Laura and Laura would pitch them to me.  Then I got Laura to pick them up as I held the big plastic bag that I keep them in.  I have over 150 broken pickleballs in that bag.  I hit the whole bag and then Laura hit the whole bag.  The whole time that lady next door was sitting out in the sun.  After we were finished, she came over to ask us about the pickleballs and I asked her if she wanted to play but she said no.

Canadian Tan

Barb's black pickleball friend said Laura had a Canadian tan when she saw Laura as she walked into the pickleball court area.

Row Row

We have gotten into the habit of saying Row Row like Scoobie Doo instead of Oh Oh.  Julia, Laura, Barb and I were saying it a lot when we were playing Bocce Ball and we made a bad shot.

Testing My Fake Fitbit

Barb and Laura have real Fitbits and I have a fake Fitbit.  Barb doesn't believe that my fake Fitbit tells my correct steps on my afternoon walk.  So Laura and I went on my afternoon walk together and we compared the steps on her real Fitbit with the steps on my fake Fitbit.  My fake Fitbit recorded slightly more steps than Laura's real Fitbit and Barb was very surprised.

Barb Chokes Again

Again tonight Barb was taking her vitamin pills and I was talking about how when I was getting a carton of Diet Pepsi from the garage, I had to wrestle with the big box of batting in the garage.  Barb had bought some batting for her quilting and it came in a box that was about 5 feet tall and 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep.  It was on top of the cartons of Pepsi and I couldn't get it off because the ceiling in the garage is quite low.  Barb started to laugh and choked on her pills.
