Day 41 Feb 23 Saturday

It’s Fun Day Volley Ball time.  I was at the pool by 09:30 for assignments etc.  Sheila arrived a few minutes later, but in time for the start of the games at 10:00.  I got a giant pair of sunglasses with feathers attached to wear.  Sheila got a headband with cute, blue bunny ears which she really liked because it matched her blue swimsuit and did not block her vision in any way.   Then we got our assigned pools & went there.  We played one regular 30 minute game & then the “fun” games started.  All the while people on the side would shoot you with a water pistol and give you a tag “dead in the water” that meant you had to stay in that pool.  Some people got coloured pipe cleaners to wrap around their wrist that indicated where they went next.  They had some people play with their dominant arm tied down, not us “thank God”!  They switched people & pools and played silly games like moving a balloon, (with a little water in it), down the pool to the other end but only using a water pistol to propel it. Next was a version of the party game where you carry an egg on a spoon but in the pool we carried a plastic glass full of pool water on a small metal try down to the end of the pool & back. And boys competed against girls so there was lots of rivalry!  At the end Lorraine, who organized it, served hot coffee, lemonade, and lots of buns, cookies and Bailey’s puddings to eat.  The weather cooperated perfectly, no wind, clear, sunny & warm.  Sheila stayed for the 1 PM game & to do laundry & I came home for the list of Winco stuff which I went out & got then checked on the Laundry room.  Sheila was there so I took some stuff home and then came back to get her ½ hour later.   Tonight is the Glen Campbell story at the Hemet Theatre so we made an early supper & headed out.  It was a great show, we enjoyed it and we even danced at the front a couple of times.  I assume they had taken several rows of seats out to make an open area for dancing but maybe it was just a natural open area maybe for musicians as the theatre opened in 1921 (before sound movies I think).  After the show we came home for the night with a stop at Walgreens pharmacy for Sheila to get an ointment for her itchy skin.
