BUZZ, Gravol is for car or motion sickness, dizziness, nausea etc, so I guess that's why it's good for migraines.
We've just been for our morning walk. Now I must start making potato salad etc for lunch. Everyone seems to show up sometime on a Sunday much to Miss Jill's delight. Playtime!!! Michael came unexpectedly last evening to see Jill, "and you" he added sheepishly. That's okay, I made hay while the sun shone as it were, filled the bird feeder, watered the geraniums I saved last fall from an early death, swept out the garage etc whilst the two kids bounced around the brown patch we call grass playing fetch. Jill adores Mike, I wonder why?
Enjoy the day of rest - ah!

Happy Sunday!
Alone again and I must admit as much as I love my family it is exhausting keeping them entertained. I did so much driving it was incredible. I was happy to be with them but happy to be alone again. Will spend my day at the pool relaxing.
Anne, I told my DIL about Gravol so will see if she tries it. She however takes Oxicodin with two other pills which her doctor has prescribed when they get so severe. She has suffered with them since she is a child and I really feel bad for her. I love that your son comes to play with Jilly, any one who loves animals is okay in my book.
Buzz, I can understand how Mike must get despondent, Babe is the same with his neck. Men have a hard time with communication and those closest to them are the ones to suffer with their frustration. I think talking together with the social worker is a great idea. I didn't realize you were giving up driving but will admit I think it is a good idea. With your facility having transportation there might be a way for you to still go to Costco.
Patsy, Babe hasn't a clue to even turn on a computer. He hardly knows how to use the TV remote. I love technology but I do like to receive cards in snail mail. In fact I just told my son that I send cards for everything and although he thought a card on Facebook was the same I explained it wasn't. If I can go to the dollar store for a card why can't he? They are back in Portland, hoping for some cooler weather than we had here.
Lin, I do hope you went to the party for the one year old, they are such fun to watch and make you smile. Did you check your phone physically to see how much data you have used?
Phoebe, Laurie really wants to go to Africa to see Katie, so she flew home to see how she did.
John said she did great so it sounds like a trip to Africa might be in their near future.
Marcella, so glad your back and hope you are all mended from your surgery.
Jeri, my granddaughter 21, is also into Pokemon Go so I of course downloaded the app to check it all out. She took us to the local library where there were hundreds of people all for Pokemon. She said they are all over and it is were you can get so many. She is at level 21 where I am at level 4. lol I hope you had a great time at the reunion and met a lot of nice new relatives.
Marie, hope you are ready to come home tomorrow and I will update the pound a week.
Have a great week!
Sandy

A mis clik lost my post.. be back later!!0

Hello my dear sneakers, all is well here. I am going at half speed again today. Late night and for no good reason other than my brain would not shut off. I will skulk around today, my big thing will be to grill the fresh salmon tonight. Broccoli and a couple of little red potatoes. Sound good?
Katie's baby teeth are falling out. I keep finding them where she has been chewing on her toys or chew bones. The poor baby is almost snaggle-toothed or snaggled toothless!
Buzz: giving up independence would be tough. However, remember all the glamorous ladies riding around with a driver. Why not? Go with it my love! Be sure and wear a long scarf like that French actress. Use the Costco scooters and shop until you are bored. Your dear Mike might be having trouble finding the breath to talk during these depression spells. My sweet little brother can not communicate at times because he doesnt have enough lung power to breathe and talk. He has COPD and heart failure. An adorable man but he has suffered!
Sandy: I am the one in this family that cannot get enough time with our kids. John loves them so much but so loves when they leave. They upset his schedule...but then it is like Christmas when they are at the door.

Spent about 2 hours on the VA website trying to navigate ordering hearing aid batteries for Mike, and it was hopeless and frustrating and I think SANDY should straighten out their webmaster...but good! Never could figure it out, and they had me logging in over and over accomplishing NADA!!! I guess I'll reorder the usual way, snail mail!
Yes , I have mixed feelings about relinquishing driving, as I really loved it. Great memories of gymkhanas, ice-racing up in New Hampshire, tearing down country roads with no civilization for miles around, or just driving A1A here in Florida, with mansions not to be believed, being built or being torn down making room for Mr Trumps' golf course! Well, been there, done that, never so much as a scratch on any car, so I guess the time is right for gracefully exiting while still in one piece! Fortunately, we have free transportation to anything and everything medical supplied by Humana, with a wheelchair lift for Mike! I could not drive him any longer in an ordinary sedan. My darling GD will enjoy having her own car now, and today it got thoroughly cleaned and polished inside and out! And the trunk is finally empty!
And of course Edgewater has buses and vans and all sorts of transportation including beach coast trips every week. Once we have his oxygen straightened out for more than 2 hours a tank, Mike might enjoy a beach ride. He must be so bored as well as frightened. Writing our DNRs was much easier while we were well than it actually is now that he is going downhill. His eyes haunt me!
MARIE, I know how happy you will back in your home again! Such good news.
PATSY, so sad about your sweet brother! Those Golden years get tarnished badly for some. How is his attitude?
PHOEBE, how frustrating! I seem to click wrong more often than not!
ANNE, such a busy you! Is Michael your son? I can't keep track of so much lately! Could I ever?
LIN, so quiet and brief today. Hope you had a good weekend! Buzz

Lots of rain today, apparently more than we saw through the whole month of July but my garden and the allotment will be pleased to see it. We managed our usual walk on the moors before it set in but I'm now settling down indoors for the rest of the day. The stray kitten is still here as unfortunately no one has claimed him. He gets bolder by the day of course so my 2 older cats are pretty fed up but George adores him and they play together chasing round the cottage or battling over soft toys. Yes, he's certainly at home here!!
Buzz ~ You giving up driving came as a surprise to me but with so much going on in your life I'm aware you can't be thinking of telling us everything. How poignant all those memories must be for you and such a sacrifice of independence but then when you describe the transport system on offer to go just about anywhere you want, it really is a wise move. If it's Audrey Hepburn Patsy sees you as driving around in a chauffeur driven convertible I'm with her!! Fighting for breath must be the most frightening of conditions and I so feel for Mike and of course Patsy's little brother.
Marie ~ I'm so hoping you're home today and feeling great to be there. Potatoes on the menu too no doubt!!
Hello to everyone else but I must get myself some lunch. Enjoy the day!
Jackie2 -
Good day - just a quick check-in. I am off to the third of the farmland seminars I've signed up for. It will be time to renew the farm lease soon and I like to have as much information as I can get beforehand. This meeting is not close to home so on the road for me today. Raining with lots of thunder.
Hugs.
Lin2 -
And it's simcoe Day here in Toronto. I thought it was just a civic holiday, but LIN put me right.
Well, Simcoe day or not, me and Miss Jilly went for walkies and we met Joyce and her gentle carthorse of a doggie Rheilly. Long chat, then we met Janice and little Amy for an even longer chat. Jill doesn't mind, she licks Amy's nose when Amy's lying in the grass and stares at Rheilly from between my legs. He ALMOST sat on her, but Jilly is a quick learner!
Then I came home to my newly charged brand new cordless Dyson vacuum. Very lightweight, no cord to trip over and it did the entire house, basement and stairs and all before conking out for another charge. It picked up everything in sight, except Jill who took off, and after thinking I was very clean, I emptied 2 small canisters full of dust and fluff, quite amazing (and shaming!). Mike helped me find it, because it seemed sold out everywhere except for a Home Depot miles away where I snatched the last one, 10 percent off. Verdict, suits my needs, but maybe not for you gals who live in mansions.
MARIE I hope I am correct in saying welcome home and welcome to a big bowl of spuds for lunch.
Yes, BUZZ, Michael is my eldest son at 55 and Mark my youngest at 52. Where did my little boys go! The years just fly by! Mike is Devins (26) dad and Mark and Mary Jo are the parents of Derek (23). Where did my little grandsons go! Even the little Bean is growing up fast, new teeth coming in and although still doing zoomies and full of the joys of spring slightly toning it down these days. And where did Anne go! Who's that old lady peering back out of the mirror! Certainly not me!!!! Is it????
Well enough of brooding, must do SOMETHING be it continued house cleaning, gardening, or walkies!
Anne.2 -
(from last night, I fell asleep before posting)
Watching a rerun. Death comes to Pemberly.
Lin, yes, you are very quiet, I assume your internet service is still intermittent. I'm enjoying Margaret Cole's Wind River series. Listened to many of them but not in order. I hope to get most of her audiobooks. I've been patching my quilt. That's about all I can expect to get done.
Going to .........
Now it's Monday, don't know what I was 'going to......' lol!
Taking it easy today. Laundry, downloading audiobooks, sewing on my quilt. Time for lunch!
Hope Marie has time to post today.

Happy Monday! Laundry is done, cleaning girl is here (yipee) and Lisa stopped by with Robby after his doctor's appointment for his two year check up. Bryanna also came to see Robby so it has been a busy morning. I am going to run to Ford to ask them a question about Bryanna car. I just want to get out of Alexandra's way while she cleans so it is a good excuse.
Shirley, I forgot to tell you how cute Isaac is and how big he is getting. I just love this age with them learning all new things and talking so much.
Marie, are you home??
I will come back later, hope you are all having a great day!
Sandy
One Day at a Time0 -
I meant to ask PATSY if she was thinking of the ballet dancer who rode in an open car with her long scarf flying into the turning wheel and she choked to death
I know she was famous but my memory is bad!!! Buzz

I think you mean Isadora Duncan? BUZZ. I thought that's who PATSY was thinking of. Anne0
-
Yes I am home pretty big change for me. Having to learn how to get up adown all over again. So i am pretty wore out. Alice has gone to the store ti get I v dinners for my mtals closing for now.1
-
I had 40 posts to read so just skimmed through them . We are still on the water with the boat.
Last night we met John's parents, and his brother and sister from Argentina. We had a nice dinner
with them and they came back to the boat for some dessert. John's mom gave me a lovely Pashmina
made out of Lama. We entered a different port today and lounged at the pool. Now we should be
getting some dinner ready. Tomorrow we will take a bike ride.
Have a good evening.
Shirley1 -
Oh my goodness!!!!! I WAS thinking of Isadora Duncan! But I did't remember that she chocked to death on the scarf. Your right, Anne, that was the dramatic end to that particular diva. Okay! Rethink the long scarf, Buzz. Go for a shorter version and long dangly earrings. That's my trick. I love big bling! Draws the eye away from the fat rolls and wrinkles. Now add puppy chewed shoes and snagged sweaters and ragged jeans. I was never fashionable but Katie has really brought me down on the stylish scale. John says we are looking very much like aging Oregon hippies.
I really hate driving. I am slow and nervous about kids and animals near the road. We drove the Alcan highway from Colorado to Anchorage several times. I was in what I call, controlled panic, the entire trip. The kids loved it, John was just kind of bored after awhile. I never stopped gasping at every big dip in the road...frost heaves. Adventure!
Welcome home, Marie. You will be back in charge very shortly. We missed you.
Having lunch again with that school mate that I do not remember at all. I can't believe we were such close friends. She says we were constantly on the phone together. I suspect she has me mixed up with someone else. What a strange situation. Do I say...I don't know you really? I don't remember you? I am a hair-brain silly, because you are like a complete stranger to me? All of the above?
Patsy1 -
Skip this if you all don't want to be bored.
PATSY, that happened to me, very embarrassing. I'd gone over to the uk to visit my Mom when two stout, elderly ladies wearing head scarves came up to me and said "you're Anne aren't you who buzzed off to Canada". Yes I am I thought but who the heck are you. Hadn't a clue. Turns out one of them bullied me relentlessly when we were young, but I only recognized the name, not the person. Mean of me, but: Something satisfying seeing the once slim bully as a dowdy aging woman who'd never left our village. We did have lunch together once it was all sorted out and I asked her why she and her sisters bullied me constantly when young. Bearing in mind it was wartime and none of us had much. Explanation "Your dad made you a bike out of spare parts, AND he made you toys (wooden stilts etc) whilst our dad beat up our Mom and gave us nothing." Fancy, and I thought all those years ago it was because I was an ugly duckling! Her mother named me plain little Anne and they lived next door but one which made the walk to school quite an adventure looking back, I was forever having my school beret chucked over fences, and of course our mothers in those days hadn't much sympathy, likewise teachers!
No, I wouldn't go back in time, it's wonderful being an independent pensioner who will never be bullied again! And funnily enough in old age we are now Christmas card friends, time, the great healer!
Anne.

Marie - glad you made it home. Congrats.
Buzz - that's a big step giving up your licence. With that and all the changes associated with Mike, your life is turning upside down. I agree, let others drive you around like the "superwoman" you are. You are one smart woman.
Anne - what an interesting story. A new slant on your memories.
Sandi - I knew if anyone would be playing Pokemon like me it would be you. Good for you.
The reunion was lots of fun. My worry was nothing, we were welcomed as soon as we walked in the door.
Company tomorrow for several days. We'll be going, going, going.
Nite all,
Jeri1 -
Well, ANNE, I certainly was not bored! Enjoyed your story about the 2 bullies! And yes, of course it was Isadora Duncan! I never wore a long scarf, though I think they are elegant. But since in my younger days I mostly drove convertibles, Isadora's demise made me shudder and wear square scarves!
Likewise, dear hippie pal, PATSY, ( I suspected it all along!
) I agreed to meet with a couple who insisted we were great high school mates. When we met for dinner, although the name was one I recalled, they ended up being the types I detest wasting time with! (Terrible English, but it's late!) He was doctor who was stiff and impressed with himself and she...oh my! The DOCTOR'S WIFE, the perfect snob! My Mom was the exact opposite, who used to share her delicious baking with Dad's patients, every one of whom she was warm and friendly, remembering every child's name and personal story. These 2 were people we hoped to never see again, yet she called often to initiate a lunch or dinner! Fergedabahtid!
MARIE, you've been through a traumatic period and I expect you will be tired for awhile, and it's O.K. to rest as much as possible while recuperating! Just take good care of yourself.
SANDY, you never got back here, so I hope the car was not a problem!
JACKIE, I did suspect that lost kitty knew exactly where to find a good home. Word gets around among our four-footed friends! As far as the driving, I kind of felt I was pushing my luck after 72 years without accidents! I pass at least one a day, and never personally had one, and how long could that continue? Everyone is offering to either pick things up for me, or include me in their shopping trips, and the truth is, I hate to shop!
SHIRLEY, talk about the leisurely life...lolling by the pool! Sounds lovely!
PHOEBE, I don't think I knew you are a quilter! Always full of amazing talents!
LIN--????? Are you alright?
My computer was nuts yesterday, freezing up, acting strange , and I worried I had a virus. Two scans showed nothing, then I found I was not connected to wireless and diagnosis showed nothing, so I finally gave up and tried to log off. Today, I had to give my password when trying to log on! Do you all remember what your password is to get into your computer?
Holy crow! Through some miracle, I found mine, and it was 20 digits long with strange combinations of capitals, numbers, %, #, lower case, etc.! It logged me in with a big WELCOME while I breathed a hugh sigh of relief. But now I'm afraid to do any business on it!
What do you all think? Buzz 1 -
Anne - Must be new vacuum cleaner time. I just splurged and bought a new Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away vacuum. It replaced our traditional Hoover vacuum. My son, James, vacuumed for me last week and I was amazed at how much better everything looked. He and I were both amazed at how much stuff was emptied from the canister when he finished! I've wanted one of these vacuums for a while now. I'm kind of glad our old vacuum finally stopped working.
Jeri - My son, Jordan, was quite impressed with your "Graveler" Pokemon. They are apparently a bit less common than the others. Anyway, I'm thinking it's time for me to join the Pokemon world.
Marcella2 -
Happy Tuesday! I clicked myself out of MFP by mistake and lost my post. So frustrating!!
I found out about Bryanna's A/C which will cost money to fix. I though maybe Ford messed up when they fixed her nest problem and all the wires but of course he said no. It will probably be $125 to $200 to fix, but first she has to have her windshield replaced since the crack is too big to fix. Always something.
Marcella, I have an Orbeck which I love because it is so light weight. Since I just started with Pokemon Go I have no idea who Graveler is. lol
Buzz, you can change your password to your computer or you can just not have to use a password. I have a password book so if anything happens to me, my kids will be able to get access to my accounts.
Jeri, glad to hear the reunion was a success and you had fun. Enjoy your company, I know what you mean by going, going, going.
Anne, I am sorry to read that you were bullied, there is no good reason for bullying.
Patsy, did it ever occur to you that your friend you don't remember, doesn't remember you and is having lunch with you just to be nice? LOL
Shirley, I had to google Pashmina to see what it is but now realize it is like a shawl. Not sure about the Lama part, no animals were hurt in this process were they?
Marie, just remember what you did in therapy and take it one day at a time. It must feel good to be home with Jerry. Alice is a wonderful daughter, you are lucky to have her.
Lin, hope all is well with you.
Jackie, must be busy outside while it is not raining.
Have a wonderful day, I think I am going to the pool but will see.
Sandy
One Day at a Time
0 -
Another wet day, anyone would think it was March not August! George and I walked on our own as my friend is having solar panels installed on her roof and we managed a very wet circular route before heading home. Little kitten has made himself at home and now Boris is used to him and only occasionally spits, Hebe is still scared as he hurls himself across the room at her. It's more than 25 years since I had a kitten living with me because I've tended to adopt rescued cats so it's quite a worry to know if he's healthy or not because he was so skinny when we found him and thirsty too which is bringing me to the conclusion he might have got himself shut in someone's car for a few days and then escaped when they drove to the moors. There's not been a sniff of interest locally so perhaps we'll never know. If he's still here in a couple of days I'll register him with my vet and get him looked over.
Marie ~ It's going to feel strange being home without the help you had but I'm sure after a few nights in your own bed you'll start to feel at home and able to continue those steps you were doing in rehab.
Sandy ~ I wish it was dry but at the moment I'm housebound since I get wet enough walking with George I certainly don't feel inclined to garden! Also I'm looking after neighbours' cat and hens and blow me, the automatic door in their henhouse is not working so I have to figure a way to prop it up so they can feel safe enough at night as well as have the freedom to go in and out during the day to lay any eggs. It's too mucky to sort it out today so hopefully a dryer day tomorrow.
Patsy ~ Being a gardener I live in old clothes so am aware on the odd occasion I socialise in the evening my friends look at me as if I'm a stranger.... who is that person wearing makeup and smart clothes?? My large collection of jeans and jeggings are needed for the walks, gardening and allotment work and constantly thrown in the washing machine!
Lin ~ Did you get Friends Reunited on line in America when all the UK schools were listed and we could search for old friends.... quite old in my case! I'm probably going back about 15 years but anyway one lady contacted me to say we were good friends at school and remembered my dad's open back truck that he layed a plank across so we kids could ride sitting on it, all true but I have no memory of her even though she apparently lived 2 streets away. Other names jumped out at me so who knows what happens to some brain cells??
Buzz ~ My plan is to grocery shop on line once I'm no longer able to drive because our bus service is appalling now and will probably only get worse since it's under funded. Today our local radio had a very interesting phone in about care in the community for the elderly which is going down the pan because the wages are so low, the authorities don't put enough funding its way and apparently the right sort of people who can offer empathy and patience don't exist these days! What does that say about society? I can't imagine you enjoying a car sharing shopping trip either but rather imagine you having to grit your teeth if someone else is doing the driving, especially with your perfect driving record! When my computer plays up I always imagine a hacker has got into it or at least a virus but it usually turns out to be a fault or my silliness!!
Marcella ~ The Shark has arrived here in the UK and for several weeks was being heavily advertised but it seems to have gone quiet. If it's as good as you say perhaps stocks ran out!! My Hoover is not showing signs of packing up so I'll keep going until perhaps the prices of Sharks and Dyson drop, if ever!
Anne ~ I only remember one girl at school who was a terrible bully to just about anyone who got in the way but looking back I think that had an awful lot to do with her background and family that struggled. What a shame we can't work these things out when we're kids but then I suppose bullying wouldn't happen.
Time to cook a light chicken meal for my evening nibble.
Jackie2 -
We did a long hour bike ride this morning before it got too hot again. Then back to the pool and now back at the boat. We are leaving tomorrow to sail back home. Our pump out at our club we found out is broken so we will have to use the one here before we leave. I assume you all know that means the toilet pump out.
See you when we get back.
Shirley0 -
Well I am so far behind I wo't be able to catch up properly (yet again).
I don't think I explained my situation well in late July. My account for home Internet (and cable TV) has a data cap on the Internet usage. Just like you might have with a cell phone account. I was nearing the cap and did not want to incur overage fees. I also don't want to move to a more expensive plan with a higher limit. So I cut back on everything online for a few days.
When I was ready to come back my Internet download/upload speeds slowed to a crawl. Really so slow I could not stream programming consistently. Only sometimes. Today I couldn't get email for a few hours. So yes, connectivity problems once again.
I have spent much time on the phone, actually talking with people and also much texting (which is unusual for me).
I have received A LOT of requested information about my farm from the operator. I am now surrounded with a stack of field maps while I start my study of the fertilizers and chemicals which have been applied in the past year. Also looking at pH, the level of organic matter etc. It is so different now! On 160 acres the take soooooo many samples and everything is electronically mapped and color coded. Interesting but getting a good understanding will take me a while I am certain.
No more seminars this year I don't think. They are having an owners meeting in September put on by ISU that I will think about.
Got a haircut today and went shopping for a b'day gift for a party on Saturday. Back to Tai Chi tomorrow morning. I am lucky to have an instructor who specializes in teaching older adults and is very sensitive to modifying for many specific conditions. We have people all the way to age 90 in our class and everyone does what is appropriate for their physical condition. Several people do chair versions of things, some hold onto a chair, whatever does not cause pain or injury.
Shirley, have safe travels home.
Marie, I am so glad you are home again. Yes!!!!
Sandy, I hope you had a relaxing time at the pool.
Phoebe, do you do your sewing and mending all by hand? Is it time to hit the road again?
Buzz, I also did not know you had decided to give up driving. I had just been thinking about how I will manage in coming years. I want to stay here as long as possible. While I send for many of my groceries (non perishables) I am going to have to manage the weight of the boxes I receive a bit more. Some are quite heavy! And with the places I get my fresh products, none have a shopping or delivery service. Bus service is not really an option. Taxis are really most viable but what if I get a taxi and go to the store and they don't have half of what is on my list? And I usually go to 2 - 3 stores a week. Quite puzzling. There is a Senior transportation service but they do not focus on taking people for groceries--it is more doctor appointments. I am so glad you have a good transportation option and that you seem to be comfortable with the decision.
Jackie, so the kitty had no identification collar. I wonder how far afield this little one has roamed? Are you thinking of turning it over to an adoption place?? Wishing you and George happy walkies.
Anne, you and Jilly are social butterflies on your walks. I am amazed.
Patsy, I am always more comfortable in my ragged clothing. I however have no dogs these days on which to blame my slovenly ways. I am sitting here in an old tie-dyed t-shirt and light gray (comfortable) ancient sweat pants. Ha.
Marcella, the vacuum sound superb. So will all family members use the vacuum repeatedly as it is great to see the container fill up?
Jeri, enjoy your company.
Barbie, I love the pic of your new shoes. Did you say what brand/model they are? And do you love them?
National Coloring Book Day so of course I will have to color for a while. And maybe read.....and watch some old movies.
Hugs my friends.
Lin1 -
Luckily I now have a dog to blame for my scruffy appearance. Jilly arrived exactly 3 months ago and since then I've worn nothing but an old pair of jeans, washed overnight I hasten to add, and old T shirts. I think I've dressed up twice! It is very comforting to know I have company in my mode of dress! Some of the dog walkers are very stylish but then they have docile, well behaved dogs who don't leap onto their trouser legs every so often. I am told this will change soon with maturity on Jill's part. I hope it's soon, or my "better" clothes will be out of date!
Raggle, taggle, Anne.1 -
Anne, I wear comfortable washable clothing all the time including to my line dance classes. I rarely go anywhere that requires dressier clothing, I have three pairs of dog walking pants and three of line dance pants.Lin, my new shoes are fairly expensive New Balance shoes. They are comfortable and I chose them because they come in a wide width. I have worn New Balance shoes for years except for a few pairs of Sketchers that are no longer comfortable for me. Jake is feeling well enough to run the vacuum and water the outside plants. Tomorrow is his phone appointment with the PA from the surgeon's office. He hopes that it will be his release to begin driving again.Buzz, you live in the perfect setting for someone giving up driving...it would not be so easy for people living in other settings. Barbie 1

Happy Coloring Book Day!!!!
That took a long time to add to this message.
Good night. Sweet dreams.
Lin2 -
Oh Lin, it's just gorgeous! How did you do it? Looks like light is shining thru. Just like stained glass!
I stayed up too late, slept late, and Tuesday is gone! We leave today, Wednesday.
Sigh, oh to be retired. But that would be difficult to do, a few more years I suppose.
Hi Marie! Hope you will keep up your walking. I know you are resting . Trips can be exhausting!
For those of you contemplating your "Senior years"- maybe not now, but I'm sure in the future, hopefully the not too far from now future, there will be concierge services for people in need of them. I know there are some, but maybe they focus more on the in home part of their service. Until then, a cart on the porch for deliveries? Boxes loaded onto the backseat can be slid onto the seat of a wheelchair. (A wheelchair is the right height)
Buzz, I am not clear on my sewing activity. It is an old denim comforter, washed a million times. Denim is worn out and I am hand sewing patches of denim in several shades of blue. Haphazardly. Not a precise seamstress at all! I Cannot get a straight hem line no matter how I try! Lol. Just a sloppy but relaxing hobby of mine.
Jackie, I think Little Kitten is a name. ;-).
I saw a video posted on Facebook with several kittens having so much fun on a pool table. I could have watched them all day. You accomplish an awful lot on rainy days. I think you are committed to getting that walk. I wish I were that dedicated.
Got to get to sleep. Night
Phoebe0 -
Here I am, late night or early morning, but 2:15, so naturally , I keep buzzing off to nap! Sorting through all the stuff I emptied from the car, and some are treasures but most is junk! Why can I not throw things away once I've read or used it? I gave away to my neighbor (who brings me Costco blueberries!) an old baseball mitt of Mike's, still beautifully soft leather, shaped to my DH's hand! He loved it and will wear it playing with his great grandson! Included was a set of car-window-washing-made-easy in perfect unused condition. Perhaps DGD will be better than I to her new/old possession!
Nice posts today, dear Sneakers, and each brought me yet closer to all your lives! Must get some snoozing now... Buzz
