SATURDAY

Saturday stands out during the week. Many reasons for that. Usually we have a day off from work. Some, like me do not work anyway, But many do and some get a day off. My, My, this blog is going nowhere already. Balcony was so pleasant and calm.  Saw ,very little going on. Heard a small plane to break the silence. After a big and fluffy waffle with blueberries with a side of Turkey bacon. I felt content to use the silence as a good start for the day. No work for me.  So if I ramble a little, just know it is Saturday. Actually my eyes are giving me trouble. I am redoing many mistakes in my vision and it is a struggle to keep redoing.. But I do like to write my thoughts. Does me good.  I as looking at an  enlarged photo of my last cat  Bitsy. She was a gentle and sweet beauty. I love having her sit with me in the photo on my desk and  keep me company.  What will I do today?

KIND OF EARLY?

77 and cloudy, just right for walkers. Saw MISS PONYTAIL AND HER DOG running. Another LADY IN BLACK also. And a couple in the pool. My they are dedicated. Been exercising for almost an hour. Must be one of our newer residents. The "thinning of the heard" has taken a lot of "oldies" like me. Though I am still here.  I feel like I am in a new place sometime. And in a way I am out of place. Don't know where my place is anymore. It reminds me of all the" places" I have been. Takes a lifetime to cover them all. I have been fortunate to have been so many places the world over. Not, I know as many as others, but enough to satisfy me. 

Have you tried the peaches this year? This was their year. Watermelons too. I do enjoy fresh fruit and eat as much as I can. My girls bring me so many goodies.

 BETTY (have a "fruity" day)

p. s. I am a little silly this morning.

BLANK THIS MORNING

 Daughter # 2 came yesterday for visit. Bearing gifts of her great chicken wild rice soup. the best in the world!! more peaches, & watermelon. How welcomed they were. Visit was good. We talked about next Beach Week. Trying to view the options and what is best. Think about it everyone. It sure has been a wonderful ride, but we need to consider the future and what is best for all. Don't like to think about change, but it does happen. 

I had a restless night, with finally getting up at 2 am and checking blood sugar. Was high and I stayed up treating it the best I know how and watching TV. Yes, it is a lot on that time of night-or morning. I saw old reruns of Frashier. Now that was a funny one. Went back to bed and slept (sort of.) Still a little high this morning, but not dangerous. But I feel a little washed out. Will be careful and take it slow this morning. Need more exercise I think, too. 

BETTY BOOP

SWEETLY BE.

VIEW FROM INSIDE SLIDING DOORS

I must be getting old (pun you think?) because the cold was too much to go outside. I pulled a chair close to the glass sliding door to Balcony and settled with my second cup-o-joe. I can see almost as much from here. Birds feasting on graham crackers, walkers, if any, part of Lake, and of course the sky. I saw jet streams, think our airport must be working. 

Also, turns out raspberries are good in oatmeal with a small amount of banana. The berries are ripe and need to be eaten soon, so I am having a feast. Alright with me. I can not think of a fruit I do not like. Lucky me. Speaking of airplanes, I thought about the times I have flown. Not as many as some but enough to count. Way to go sometime. I especially enjoyed over the ocean ones. Thought I would be afraid, but I wasn't. I was asleep most of the way. Airplane travel is so much a part of us today. Sorry they are having so much trouble, Must be hard to be tired and stranded. Wish I could see Ireland from the sky again, so green everywhere. 

BETTY(Tally -Ho !! everybody) Boop
