hazel's life adventures

Today, I went to the Wise Owl Senior Center.  I got there in time for the bone density test which was the portable one that you just put your foot on it.  They somehow can tell your bone density that way.  Mine was yellow, which they told me was not good but also at the same time I should start working on that.  The man told me to walk in the sun.  Well, I had a bone density test last year which was ordered by my doctor and it was the kind that you lay down on the table.  It was taken in the hospital, so I am assuming it can be trusted.  It was fine then.  However, the steroids I have had to put in my eyes may have made a difference. I have read that steroids will deteriorate your bones pretty quickly, That is why I take calcium every day.  So I guess that is not enough for me.  My conclusion is that I should take the calcium with D and walk in the sunshine.  I really don't know how I would avoid walking in the sunshine in Arizona where the sun shines about every day. 

Then, I had a wonderfully, delicious meal of Cod Fish on rice with spinach, baby lima beans, and applesauce. Also with 2 girl scout cookies.  And a carton of milk.  We had visitors at the Wise Owl today.  A group of girl scouts were celebrating the anniversary of the Girl Scouts of America. They came bearing girl scout cookies.  Which could not be resisted by some who bought them. 

Today has been warm. Finally my favorite Wickenburg weather has arrived.  Today was 80 degrees and tomorrow and the next two days promises to be in the 80s as well.  Then a couple days farther down the calendar will come with temperatures in the 90s which will be record setting temps.

After lunch we had a drumming session.  We were all given drums, the kind one taps with their fingers or hands.  The the leader got everyone involved with the feelings of joy and love that comes  with the sounds of the drums.  And how twenty of us became as one through the sounds of music and drums. At the end of the session one of the helpers played the flute.That was very similar to a pow wow.  I think everyone enjoyed it.  and they will be back.
