SATURDAY (two for one)

Jan & Tommy came for lunch.  What fun.  People are jealous of me for the attention I get from my family.  I am blessed I know.  Saturday is a good family day for lunch.  I guess a lot of family work during the week and come on Saturday. 

Jan and I worked on the" paper caper" we are determined to thin out.  Of course she had to spend a lot of the time on AT&T.  We can't get them straight.  Maybe now we will get a correct bill.  Enough to make me sell my stock in AT&T.  No, not yet. 

Well off to Church and a good day I hope & lunch with the usual gang.

NEEDED A NAP

I did my exercises faithfully this morning,  I had breakfast in the Cyber.  Don't know why I like to do that.  They  try to have a few exotic  items now but I stay on my routine of eggs and sometime sausage or bacon or ham and toast and coffee.  That is what I like best. 

Amy came and we went to the Mall because I wanted Clinique makeup and they were having their bonus sale with free samples.  Something free is always interesting.  We had Chic-Filet and were disappointed as they are changing and charging more.  We will address them on Google later.  After not finding some more things I wanted we were both wiped out.  Especially me.  So home we came and I had a nap.  I think Amy had some job business later.  I get so tired when I walk a lot at the Mall.  I remember when I used to go there just for fun and spend most of a day and not get this tired.  Gee I wonder why?  Surely age is not a reason?

GRADUATION DAY!!!!!!!

So where are the balloons, confetti, and Champagne?  All I got was hugs, congratulations and a fist full of papers  with exercises to do.  I guess that was enough. 
The two PT's who worked with me were so sweet yet tough and helped me so much.  It is now up to me to not undo the good work they have done and continue to try hard to keep what I have.  Although I made great strides with bending my knees and heels, I still have a way to go with the balance.  Maybe with the exercises I will get better.  I improved the balance enough to lower my risk for falling and that is the bottom line. 
I intend to do my best to keep up the exercises because I realize that is what is important.  So they dismissed me with  "Little lady, you are going to be busy."  I hope not to let them down.  With all the exercise and bike riding and my regular Exercise  Class, I will be busy. O well it will keep me "out of the halls."

LABOR DAY

What does the word labor bring to mind.  To me Labor Day always brings up the picture of the strong arm and hammer on the baking powder box, or was it baking soda?  I went to my pantry and the only box I saw was a Kroger baking soda box.  So I don't remember if it is soda or baking powder.  I am out of touch with baking except with mixes.  But I bet you all remember the arm and hammer.  Speaking of cooking, Amy and I were invited to the Patrick home for Sunday lunch.  They work together so well, and they made a "mean" BLT!! It had a special spread and was sooooo good.Also pasta salad.  The food was great and the company was too.  They are so sweet to both of us.

Cloudy this morning.  I think we can expect rain this afternoon.  I am having a special Labor Day lunch here, so let it rain.  Amy and I went to Michael's yesterday and found the main thing I need to make my Christmas "happies",  I will get everything together soon and begin some fun making them.          Well off to Exercise class and coffee with the bunch, we don't take off for the holidays.

CHURCH

I am going to Church this morning.  I know I can feel God's presence anywhere and I do all the time, but there is something special about  the way God fill the Church with his presence on Sunday. And I need that.

I find myself thinking about Christmas and the fact I thought last Christmas was the last time I would make gifts for my SCV friends.  But here I am thinking about it again.  Got an idea that has been in the back of mind every Christmas.  I think it is time to bring it to the front and DO it.  I will keep it a secret till I fine the things I need to do it.

Well off I go.......Betty Boop

EARLY BIRD

I am calling myself an early bird.  I usually have breakfast in the Cyber Café on Saturdays.  I did this morning.  I was the first one there, outside of the cooks.  My breakfast was promptly served and enjoyed.  I took my second half cup of coffee to the Rose garden.  Roses almost gone as is Summer (I hope.)  It was very pleasant and quiet.  Where were the birds?  I guess my little hummer will soon fly south and all the many things the change of seasons brings.  I love that kind of change.  Especially from summer to fall.

With Jan still in Fort Wayne, where she is soaking up the sweetness of her grandchildren, I will be "winging" it today.  I miss her.  Shampoo and change Blueberry's water is first on the list.  I bagged up plenty of homemade veg. soup to last a while.  Reminds me of the wonderful book my neighbor lent me.  I am reading it and can hardly put it down.  TRIALS of the EARTH.  by Mary Mann Hamilton.  It is a true story of a pioneer woman in the Delta.  So good and amazing.  Guess I will put that on my to do list today. Read.           Who knows at this point what else I will do.  Life is good if you let it be.
