SUNDAY

Sunday again.  You know it is a favorite day of week.  Church and family. On the Balcony for a bit.  Must get going. Light  breeze pulled me to stay, but I have things to do and places to go. I am lucky.

Must get to working on  my Angels for Christmas.  My fingers refuse to work with ease.  It is frustrating to want to do something but parts of my body refuse to cooperate. Actually my left thumb is swollen at the joint.  Can't remember hurting it, but I must have tried to open a jar or something that requires pressure and it is just now bothering me.  Things like that happen and show up later.  Oh well something else to nurse!!

Must go and get ready for Church and family.

HOME SWEET HOME

!I have been watching on my computer A.&B and R&MG and the work on their new homes.  So much of the work is being done "with love" by them.  I keep thinking how much that will always mean to them. They are all so talented  and smart.  I like that they get it done.  I still love my new home.  Not so new anymore., but when I drive in I get a sense of home and am glad to live here.  All the other homes I have lived in are full of old sweet memories and they stay there.  

I always tell Jan, since she was born in October, that there are no skies like the blue skies of October.  This morning they were full of clouds and very blue.

RUNNING LATE

My sleep habits seem to have changed a lot.  I get such a late start, my day seems short.  I still sat on the Balcony.  That is an important space to me. I feel safe and in charge as I survey my place.  A time to get away outside and enjoy the quiet before the day starts.  But if I keep sleeping till 7 my time grows short.  I saw Mr. Rude Crow and heard birds in the background.  Not much else.  I did get a subject for a poem.  Sometime that is all it takes and I start to have words running around in my brain.  They stumble and fall and retreat and finally get in line and It is amazing how sometime they fall in place.  Mr. Rude crow is the subject.  Wish me luck as I try to explain him in a poem. So goes the day.  I will eat lunch with friend Betty.  We call it "fish day" even though we are not Catholic.

GETTING SPOILED

I got to eat out two days this week (so far), Good check up with Dr. "Gum. " Healed and good to go.  Jan said, so what do you want to do before lunch.  I said go to the Dollar store.  I shopped the displays up and down.  Came away with maybe 10$ worth  of maybe junk.  No it is useful and needed, and fun. Took a lot of energy and I was pooped.  We ate at McAllister's.  It was very good.  There butternut, Autum (as they called it) soup was very good.  With a small Taco salad    was all right.  I try it at different places.  Wendy's is best to me. 

Well, coffee was good on the Balcony. It gets warm and I must try and make it a little earlier.  I just can't seem to be the early bird I used to be.  I wonder why?

RUDE CROW

Mr . Crow is back .  He was here yesterday.  He seems lost and looking for his friends. I think they are hiding from him.  He seems so bossy.  I made up a little story about him.  I actually saw a flock fly away before he arrived.  He is being avoided or is way off course.     The sky writer was out in a perfect sky.  He is way in the East , maybe toward the Meridian area.  I wonder. Anyway he can't seem to do anything like writing words--just lines up and down. 

Off to GUM Dr. as I call him.  Just a check up.  Jan is taking me.  My, My, two days in a row that I am breaking out--wish me luck that everything is still O. K.

OCTOBER 2 A DAY I REMEMBER

Yes, I remember this day a while ago.  I wont say how long but I gave birth to a beautiful 7 lb. 3 ounce dark haired girl.  I will always remember the first sight of her.  I remember all of my girls the first time I held them.  Today is Jan's birthday.  Amy and I are taking her to lunch.  We will enjoy remembering together.  And to celebrate her. I am glad she is still my beautiful girl.

SUNSHINE

Wonderful at 72 degrees on my Balcony.  After oatmeal with blueberries and rye toast coffee, I am good to go.I saw a gaggle of geese (good name for them).  They made their rude noise and seeing no ducks to scare, they flew on.  Good.  A man who walks the court every morning came out and just sat down on a bench. Wonder why he did not walk? A jet crossed over.  Early flight for many.  Blue birds were flying around.  My beautiful Croton plant is attracting hummers because of the red in them.  They get disappointed when there are no blooms.  Hey little guys, it is time to go South.  Confusing to me, but plain to them.  It is still summer here.  Well that covers it for now. Oops, I missed Sunday  Church was wonderful and lunch with Sophia, Paul, Mary Grace. Amy.  Ryan is out of town, missed him.  We had the most delightful lunch at Bravos (where the elite go on Sunday)  My oyster salad was not only very good but beautifully presented.  I sure enjoyed it.
