JUST THE WEATHER

Just lo0k for the sunshine.  It is there some where hiding.  I believe we wont see it for a while.  Have   to make own for a  while.  Just brighten the corner where you are, so to speak.   Don't you just love "Polly Anna's?"  I guess they have there place too. 

Hade a good visit with My Eye Dr.  He is just biding my time with giving me just hoping I still hold on.  He thinks none has the right to have the eye sight that I do, I am as amazed as he is.  I'll take it and be glad.  He told me if I have a drink of Burbon each night and smoke a cigar-keep doing it. Funny man.  I have never tasted burbon or smoked anything.  So what is the secrete?  He seems to have fun with me.  Makes his day.     Mine too.

TUESDAY

Tuesday and the beat goes on.  One day follows the other and before you know it--the week- end is here.  I have an early appointment with my eye Doctor.  Entertaining fellow.  I have known him for many years.  Since he first started with old Dr. "Mole" as my girls called him whose office was in  an old house on North State street.  The hall we followed to get to his exam room was long and dark like a mole hole, so he was Dr. Mole to them.  My present Dr. took over his practice. He is always amazed at how well I can see with all the problems I have had over the years.  Makes a big to do over me each visit.  Hope I get a good report today. 

So off I go with my very capable driver, Amy.  She runs my personal taxi service.  She is very capable.

MONDAY

Green is the color for today.  And the wild blooming trees like the wild pear is outstanding.   Really an exciting time of the season.  Gives you hope. I need hope for our Church. Many reasons for our loss of members.  It is sad when I think of how much it has been a part  of my life and my family too.  Pray for what to do? Yes.

Lunch at BRAVO"s was out standing yesterday. Their business is booming.  Rainy and gloomy outside but Amy, Sophie, Paul and I really enjoyed each other and shared what we did last week and what we have to do this week.  

Rain is on tap for every day this week.  O my.  Oh I forgot--I enjoyed a special on ELVIS last night.  I think he recorded some really beautiful music.  O.K.  lets get to it!!

SPRING & SUNDAY

Well it seems like Spring and I know it is Sunday.  The Japanese Magnolia under my balcony thinks it has already arrived.  It is in full bloom and beautiful. Jonquils have already declared it is time to wake up and are blooming everywhere.  The wild pear trees across from me in the woods are standing out in their white coat.  But I think they may be a little early for it is still middle of February. I have worn my new red coat 2 times and it is so pretty hanging in the closet.  I may get to wear it yet.  You think?

I guess my chatter is mundane next to all I read about some of my readers. -----Tell you about my breakfast.  Scrambled egg, whole grain waffle with light butter and sugar-free syrup (diabetic)  V8 juice and coffee. Thank goodness for coffee.  It is free!! It can be good if you work at it.  You have to always think about what you are eating and sometime I get tired of always thinking about food.  But if I don't be careful, I pay for it.    We all, sooner or later have some  kind of problem with food. SO BE IT

UP UP & AWAY

Jan took off early by plane (only way to travel) to visit her Grandkids and of course C & D.  Wish I could fly again.  I did love it when we traveled.  I especially like the early flights.  To be up so high and watch the day begin was a thill.  Another wish I don't think I will have again, but I did it when "he" was still here and we enjoyed many great trips.

Guess it will be a  little lonely since Jan usually comes on Saturday and says," well what do you want to do today?"  Usually I have something of interest  planned.  Not that the scene does not change around here.   Something like "gossip."  Some people seem to thrive on it.  But I have learned to beware and not pass it on, because it is not always, shall we say accurate?  O well, laundry is calling and a shampoo, I do need a hair cut.  Maybe next week?  I need to get that magic in a bottle to turn me into that little dark haired cutie again.  Have to stay from that grey.

THOUGHTS CREATE EMOTIONS

 I don't  know where I got that statement.  Surely I read it , for I am not capable of thinking that one.  It is so true.  Today is Valentine's Day and thoughts bring my emotions to the front of my mind.  I asked several men this morning as I went to breakfast in Cyber.  "Did you get your sweetheart a valentine?"  I got cards to flowers as responses.  Good for them.  It reminded me of my yearly ritual of bring out past valentines I saved that Truman and I exchanged.  I saved a few.  Later I will reread them and shed a happy tear of memories of the past.  Some are soooo sweet and others funny, but always with love.  I am blessed to have had "the best of mates."  I realize it more today than when I was actually living it.  SO BE IT. Let's be honest.  At the time of living, you don't always realize what you have,  Right?

EARLY

I did not sleep well-woke up early and told Bitsy, let's get up and get started. She agreed as breakfast is her first thing on her agenda,  She is so smart.  She knows my routine and sits patiently while I take my blood pressure,  as that is the first thing I do each morning.  Then I fix her breakfast plate before I fix mine.  I did not want to cook so I had Jimmy Dean whole wheat English muffin, with cheese and egg white. Pretty good if you don't have it every morning.  And I save it for times when I just don't want to cook, but I need to eat regularly.  PT this morning and a skit this afternoon by a few residents.  They call it "Not So Newlywed Show.  Should be fun.  Can't imagine Truman doing that-but I would like it. All in fun.
