WELL, HERE i AM BACK

I missed you.  Did you miss me?  I doubt you missed that dull chatter from me.  Any way, I am back.  I have been nursing a new back muscle problem with therapy every three days for I don't know how long.  Sure does keep me down.  My computer has been out and I missed it.  Back and running but slow.  After all the computer man here told me it was getting old.  6 years.  Although, I don't mind moving slow with it--it is a little too slow.  Maybe I will have to consider a new one.  I do enjoy staying in touch with everyone who reads my chatter.

SATURDAY MORNING

Breakfast with the accidental formed group.  Nothing planned==just happened.  The other members are neighbors and I am the odd man out.  Yet we are a friendly group.  My blood sugar let me have one pancake, so I balanced it with one scrambled egg and bacon.  My it was good.  One had Belgium waffles.  Looked good but too much for me.  She is as small as me and ate it all.  We discussed, Mormans, Amish and Menonites. The man in our group is not Morman but he has a relationship with the young men who are missionaries and knows a lot about them.  Then one told of Menonites close to where she once live.  I told what I knew about Amish.  Very good discussion and I enjoyed it.

Bitsy is back and on the road to recovery again.  The Vet is so interested in her case, since it is rare in cats.  He is working to get her back to normal.  No guarantee that it will happen, but he has high hopes.  Sure hope so.  Truman would have a fit to know how much money I have already spent on her, but I can't let her suffer and I want her to get well.

Jan is coming,  we are going to shop for me a new CD player.  Mine went out and I need my music.  It seems I can't get everything working--that's life I guess-it goes on-up and down.  So be it.

SUNRISE

I hope some of my readers saw the sunrise this morning,  It was so beautiful.  Blues and pinks of amazing shades.  No artist could capture it.  I woke up early for a change and was able to see all this beauty.  The lake was shrouded with fog.  What a spooky feeling.  A Canada geese flue through it. It slowly lifted and it was clear once more.  Then a minute later it was back again.  Now the sun is shinning brightly and every thing is clear but a little cool.  I drank coffee out there and had on a winter robe.  I am sure that will change as the day goes on. 

We are taking Bitsy to the vet this morning, to see if the meds are still working.  I think she needs more,  We will see.  She is still pretty pitiful looking.  Lost a lot of hair and still has problems with the skin.  I can't describe it--it looks so bad.  She is brave and has endured a lot.  Wish us luck, we need it.

VERY BUSY DAY

It started with going to therapy for this other shoulder The pain has been so constant and making it hard to get comfortable, especially at night.  I need my sleep.  It was an evaluation for insurance, to see how many sessions they will pay for.  She gave me one treatment which is the electro
something ,  It does a massage with heat.  It feel so good.  I had it with the other shoulder too. I will have to wait to do more when Humana approves.  Oh my, I hope it is soon.  Think it will be next week.  They move slow.  I then hurried over to the beauty shop to get a haircut and then to my own bathroom for color.  Now I feel pretty good.  I have something heating in the over that Amy brought me and made a salad=so I am good to go.  Wish with me for a better night.  I have things to do tomorrow.

MONDAY AGAIN

I guess I work under pressure when it comes to writing poems.  I only had a day or two to get one in the next Villager.  Here it is. What do you think?

DOWN THE HALL WE GO

 

Down the Hall I daily go

Sometime too dark to tell,

But I read you like a pro.

By your "walk" I know you well.

 

Some walk fast-some slow,

Some sway to and fro,

But this one thing I really know.

We're glad to be able to just go!!

BLUE GRASS MUSIC

We had our annual Blue




























































g  











We had our annual Blue Grass
music at church today.  Bill Ellison & Temperance Babcock, well known bluegrass music makers. from Jackson, have been coming to Broadmeadow for the last 10 years to be a part of our service .  They are so good and I enjoyed it to the fullest.  Music of all kinds, I like, but this was very special.  With Sophie & Paul coming back from a trip to Boston and MG and Ryan leaving for a trip to Greece,   Amy and I were on our own for lunch.  We stopped to check on the Wolfs"  cat and were in the neighborhood of Brent's.  Had lunch in a very noise setting today, but we did o, k,  I am still looking for that cool weather.  How about you.

SATURDAY

Breakfast with the group with a new one to join.  We had fun and it was good.  I now want to se the new movie VICTORIA.  It was discussed and sounded good.  Jan came yesterday as she is working today at one of those kidney things.  So we went to grocery store.  Had lunch here and sat on the terrace at the Cyber.  It was perfect.  We stayed a long time and thoroughly enjoyed the conversation and weather.  I have a day to fill.  It has started good, I will get on with it.

CHILLY ON THE BALCONY

Yes I love this change in the weather,  With just a small part of my legs exposed, I was o. k. I am getting slower and slower since I have been nursing these little ailments.  I must say though, I feel better today.  I will work on getting back to par.  It has taken a lot out of me with two or three things overlapping.  I want to get on my Christmas projects, but I have not had the strength to enjoy it.  I still have plenty of time.  Amy has made it easy by supplying me with what I need to work when I can.  What bothers me a lot is Bitsy.  She is still so pitiful.  Must be patient with her.  Well it is after 9 and here I  sit in my gown.    Shame on me.

HONEY

Here goes Proverbs again--"Kind words are like honey--sweet to the taste and good for your health."
I have been staying in so much lately.  I went down to get my backed up mail and I heard so many kind words from friends that it was "good for my health" as the proverb goes. Also the Honey Man is coming today and I plan to buy some.  It is from local bees and should be good.  Well, I know it is good because I have bought it before.  I don't eat much, but sometime I get a craving for it on my toast.  I do feel better but am still working on it.  Poor Bitsy seems very slow with her problem and I feel so sorry for her.

On a lighter note, on the same page where I read from Proverbs this morning was this: " Long life is the reward of the righteous: gray hair is a glorious crown" Underneath my hair is gray, so I need to dig deeper I guess.

LAKE IS SMOOTH

Wish I could say the same for me.  I have not blogged lately because I am not having a smooth time.  I get one thing fixed and then another needs fixing.  It seems lately I don't get the first done and something else jumps on me.  I am about to give up.  Can't stay ahead of it.  I Guess that is par for the course when you get 90.  Can't get the therapy started because of another problem that I need to talk to the Dr. about today.  Maybe I will be better soon.  Hope so, I have so many things I would like to do and just can't enjoy them feeling this way.  I pray for patience and trust.

IN FORMATION

Canada geese are a determined group.  I saw them in mass this morning.  They are amazing how they fly in formation.  Right over my head, squawking so loud.  You can't miss them.  "Look at me."  they seem to shout.  Then they fly away in small groups in perfect unison.  So much is wrong in this world today, but yet when you stop, think, look around, there is so much right too.  It makes me feel small and my problems shrink when I think that I am not in charge, but I know who is. 

Flu shot this morning.  They start at 8:30.  Amy is coming to help me shop for materials for my Christmas "happies."  Got a cute new idea from the internet.  Looks easy, but when you make 50, it is time to get started.  I do love doing this every year.  I have been fighting a "crick" in my neck and it wont go a way no matter what I try.  Any suggestions?  Short of the Doctor?  It is really getting in my way!!!
