I enjoy meatballs with brown gravy, tomato sauce and just plain with melted Parmesan cheese. We had meatballs on Thursday, I didn't know today was International Meatball day either.

Funny, I made meatballs and spaghetti without knowing about the Meatball Day. I use oatmeal in the mix because beef itself means constipation for me. Otherwise, mine is just a meatball.

So it is "the end of summer" for you. I find it so interesting how the weather changes from place to place and especially that we have the opposite seasons between the south and the north hemispheres. Good luck with the winter months!

That is quite a story. I am glad it worked out and everyone was safely returned to the airport lounge.

Wow, that was a scary situation. Thank goodness, common sense prevailed and the flight was cancelled before lives were lost.

In response to "Hotels, good and bad"

The sound of waves is an awesome way to drift asleep, I've enjoyed several different hotel stays that were on the ocean's edge and I agree there's nothing like it.

In response to "Relevance"

I so agree with you about us seniors, in general.
Yet, then, there's those of us who live alone and try to be as independent as possible. We might have become a burden, here in the USA, to Social Security and Medicare, but we at least have worked for it and prepaid for all that, during our past lives. Not that all the people today can understand it!

In response to "Eternal vigilance "

True. I received an email from a friend. Maybe I didn't. But I'm in the U.S. The suffix was .de. Why do I need to respond to my invite through Germany? I looked up the organization, and it seems like something my friend would care about. Am I being scammed, or is this real? I plan to call her today and find out. After all, you can't trust your email.

Good entry
And yes, so true and so tiring that vigilance becomes! I'm afraid to answer any emails, let alone click on any links. I hope and pray things can get better before they get any worse.

In response to "Changes for changes sake"

I'm with you, phone-wise, Sue! I have a perfectly good flip-phone lying around. It still takes pictures, and may be able to send them via Bluetooth; I haven't tried in awhile, so I can't be sure. The reason I don't use it anymore, is because the Service provider shut down the 3G network it ran on. This forced me to start using my wife's old smartphone, which ran on 4G. I'd still be using it, except that it ran out of memory. There were times I couldn't even send a simple text message.

True Story

At the airport, on the morning of our flight from Manila to the island of Cebu, the wind became ever stronger and wilder. We checked our baggage assuming we’d be advised if flights were affected. Soon every flight on the board, except for ours, read cancelled.

The time came to board our flight. We shuffled our way to the departure gate with the others

“I don’t want to go,” I said tearfully.

Directly inside the glass door which led out onto the tarmac, there stood a statue of the Virgin Mary. At her feet a collection box into which I made a donation and a silent prayer. The wind was indescribable. It took two men just to hold the door open to allow the flight crew to get to the plane.

At last, after battling the elements, each windswept passenger found their seat on the plane. No one spoke. There was absolute silence. Looking around I saw people silently praying, eyes closed and crossing themselves.

I was really crying as I took my last look at my husband; I knew we were going to die. “Why are we doing this? We must be crazy.”

You could feel the tension in the air as people prayed. The flight crew looked as worried as we were. The plane swayed as if it were already in the air, rocking from side to side, like a wild animal trying to escape. After ten minutes of silence, other than the sound of the beating rain and the roaring wind, the Captain told us we all must leave the plane. The flight was cancelled.
Everyone gave audible sighs of relief and rushed to exit. By this time the storm was so bad it was difficult to return safely into the airport lounge.

Through the windows we watched as Debris flew through the air and roofs were ripped from buildings.

Having spent a night in the airport the light of day showed the damage and destruction. The typhoon had affected thousands of people, either through death, injury or homelessness.
