Monday was Evelyn’s 70th birthday. We didn’t do much special except sleep in. We crossed into a new time zone so we didn’t get up until almost 11. Evelyn went to the exercise area for a talk on how to flatten the tummy. As it turned out, the cure was to become younger. She also heard a bunch of junk on how to detoxify the body. While she was gone, I showered and went with her for a brunch. It was almost noon but I was still able to get an omelet just shortly before the station closed. We had our cards with us and played a few games. We went through the art auction and then to the shore excursion desk where we signed for a tour in Newport, RI. I was feeling a bit woozy from the rocking of the ship, so we came back and went to bed for a nap. We wakened and went to the show for the evening, “Band on the Run”. It was a high energy song and dance show. From there we went to dinner and shared a table with 3 women who were from Michigan and Canada. It was an older mother, her daughter and a friend from Canada. They were very interesting to talk with. People get a cake on their birthday and a serenade by the wait staff, but Evelyn asked that they not sing to her. She just brought the cake to the cabin. All day I ignored Evelyn’s asking what I wanted to do. I told her on several occasions to not ask me that because it was her day. She chose to go to a not so newly wed game. (We thought there would be dancing on the Spinakker lounge.) That was our last activity for the day.
