GOOD MORNING

Just got back from therapy.  Looks like I will go for a while.  Such knots and tension  in both shoulders.  New routine this morning.  Different machine, felt strange and I think it feels better.  We will see.
Church was fine.  I always am glad to go.  I liked the music especially from the choir.  Lunch at the Patrick's .  Back from their travels.
Well must tend to my laundry and go to lunch.   Later.

MUGGY MORNING

I sat on balcony this morning.  Kind of warm and muggy, but not too bad.  All was quiet.  King Egret has again taken over the pier.  My side is deep and he can't wade for food, so I don't know his motive.  In flew Mr. blue heron.  He is smaller but King of the Pier moved on.  Guess he does not like company.  I just let my imagination  run away again.

I like the time change, Slept good on my new contour pillow.  Think I will keep it.  I need something to let me sleep better.

Going to Church.  Highlight of the week.  Well one of them anyway.  When I stop and think about highlights, there are many.(poem title).  Walking the halls and seeing friends.  My girls coming to visit.  Phone  call from Linda.  Phone call from Karen.  My delight in finding cinnamon butter, Coffee and thoughts on the Balcony, Many, many choices.  How lucky and blessed I am.

CRAZY LAPTOP

I was just happily typing along and it took my writing away!!Rude.  Well, here I go again.  This computer has me baffled.  I have been trying all day to get on my blog and could not till just now,  And it just went away while I was typing.  I guess it is getting old and cranky like me. 

Anyway Jan and I bought pansies for me yo put in my pots.  I will do that tomorrow maybe.  Just can't do a lot in one day.  We got groceries for me.  Had lunch on the Terrace overlooking the Lake.  Our favorite thing to do.  I took a rest while she went to shop for me a new pillow.  The therapist suggested I try a contour pillow.  She brought two for me to try.  (Jan).  I will try one tonight.  Hope it helps. 

Summertime again.  And don't forget to set your clocks back tonight.  Extra sleep if you can fool yourself.

UP EARLY

I like this early OT time.  It gets it out of the way early and does not ruin a day.  But this morning at 6 it was still a little dark.  Day light saving time will start Sunday and it will be dark early.  It was cloudy early and that made it more so.  I did have coffee out  on the Balcony.  I saw the ducks come awake, the Egret start to fish for his breakfast, and heard the first bird wake.  It was so peaceful and no other noise.  Try it, you may like it as I do.

I am working on the baby Jesus babies.  Wrapping them and tying cord around them.  They are so sweet and Bitsy thinks so too.  She has been pretty good at not bothering them and I just cover my work with a cloth at night, but she loved fishing the babies out of the box I keep the completed ones in==they roll really good.  I worked too much at just doing that one step yesterday and my arm was a little tight at therapy.  She said  not to do one thing long at a time, just rest between.  It is kind of hard with my finger tips not what they used to be. Nothing is.  So what else is new?  I still have plenty of time before Christmas.  Or do I?  Time seems to fly.  Well how about a coke and a cracker with cheese?  I am up for that.

O BOY !!! 77 DEGREES

That means I get to drink second cup-o-coffee on the Balcony.  And it was perfect.  I watched the clouds rush by in hopes of a little rain.  The grass needs it since the sprinklers are under repair.  It was cool enough to feel real good with a little gentle breeze.  I saw a gaggle of Canada geese fly over, circle the lake before landing on the water.  My they are a noisy bunch.  I often wonder why all the fuss.  They float around a little and take off again.  The resident Egret is undisturbed.  He thinks they are a rude group and is glad to see them go.  All the other ducks have flown South.  Wonder where they go and if their habitat has been disturbed by all the bad weather. 

I  have a "free" day.  Nothing planned.  I think I will work on my Christmas "happies."  Wrapping the infant Jesus in swaddling clothes is a challenge.  They are so cute.  Bitsy is better and is flying around, high on steroid.  I need some of her potion.  Well I will get on with my free day and try to make it productive.

For those who fight to keep us free.

No other country can compare.

Be thankful, for it is rare.

DOWN THE HALLS 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!!

 

Dot Ellis, for the November Villager

 

Just thought you would like to see what I have been doing.
