Greetings and salutation to all of you out there. Every now and then I run into someone who actually reads my article and I thank you for your encouragement and support. The summer weeks are flying by it’s hard to keep up. But I will give it the old college try and yes I do have my college degree. How else would I be qualified to write this article (yah right). Monday was July 4th so we started out with a bang and played bingo. Everyone is always up for that. Besides I won coverall. Tuesday we had our traditional volleyball game. As usual we vented our feelings out by slamming the balloon back and forth.  Don’t worry we shake hands at the end of the game. Wednesday was another day of grueling exercises. Not really, we sit in chairs so it’s not all that bad. Thursday we were privileged to hear John Lynch put on a nice program for us. He comes every month.
