BACK HOME

Hi! It is hard to get back into the "REAL life". SILVER SNEAKERS" was hard. Got my PI appointments set back up too. I am still cooking fresh veggies I bought from the coast. The corn is still good. And peaches make my oatmeal real good. Finally caught up with washing clothes and ironing. By the way-- have I ever told you that I love to iorn clothes? I even iron T shirts!!!. Crazy. some people would say.Love to cook too. We had fried eggplant last night. I made up a way to add a new twist to it. So good. Had corn on cob, yellow squash, sliced tomato and cornbread. We are still eating too much. Must come down a little. Must run and get this day on the road to real life you know.

P.S. I went to pick up my pictures at CVS and I had turned in film that had never been used. Now I was so mad at myself. The ones I had taken were sitting here ar home laughing at me. Oh well that is Par-for-the=course for me lately.

HOME

Back from Gulf Shores. Very surprized at how beautiful the beaches were. Clean for the most part. What was sad was the lack of people. We almost had the beach to ourselves. Good but a little sad too. Not many crowds in resturants and stores. Not much traffic as usual. We had a good time 20 in all. The best food yet. Man thoses cooks are getting better and more creative and so many are interested. No resturant has it better. I did enjoy the Oyster House for lunch one day with my three girls. Another tradition and one I look forward to. We had plenty of good seafood all week. Seeing Jacob Parker, Andrew and Liam was the highlight. I can"t believe how they have grown and how much fun they had in the pool. But for all the fun we had it is mostly for me the time together that counts. Family is so important to Truman and me. May you all carry this tradition on for many years to come. Being connected, yet living your own lives is what I wish for.

SHORT HAIR

Well hello again. Or should I say finally. I told my hairdresser that I wanted a "beach-cut" Well I got one!!!! I will have a couple of weeks to grow it out a little. I have been so busy taking care of myself lately. I went to my knee surgeon last week because I was not walking very well. My range of motion was not good. He recomended physcial therapy for four weeks --two time a week. O boy I remember the first time after surgery. Well I went to another place to take it. It is so much better than the first place. I have never known they could have so many kinds of machines. For an hour and half I am really put through it. I have SILVER SNEEKERS the same day and it is almost too much-plus I do exercises two times a day at home in between. If this does not help a lot I am going to be disappointed big timme. I got my Gulf Shores list from Jan and am ready to "bag it up" Make the chile and take the cat to the Vet to board her. Wait --I gave all our suitcases to the Good Will. Paper sacks? Maybe. Any way I will make it.
