MUST RUN

 Must hurry. I have the first of a few appointments to keep. Talk to you later. Something funny or interesting will happen for sure.

A NO-NO

I guess I know better, but I did it anyway. I put a few toast crumbs for the birds and they came to see. I had thought I should not because they did draw a few ants, but they like me and I like them too. I sat and drank coffee as they came to feast on a few toast crumbs. I fixed my own  own breakfast. No more Miss Aster!! But I did not forget how. Oatmeal with strawberries*last of them) and a few blueberries. O. J. for the pills. Cheese  toast and turkey bacon rounded it out. Little fuel for the brain and stomach. Good to go (as fast as I can). Which is not that fast. But I will be content to stop and smell the roses for a while. The Knock Out roses are beautiful below my balcony. O. K. that is the News From The Balcony. I will get on with my wonderful day. 

BETTY (Be Happy) BOOP

GUESS I AM BETTER

 Hard to tell. So many different Drs and follow up appointments , so it is tedious and not altogether wrapped up. So maybe soon, I can say all is well. though it looks good for now. I am making progress.  It has been so good to have Jan here with me. I am sure getting spoiled. Hope I have  not worn her out. I am spending the first night alone. I am sure I will be fine. I walked to the dinning room this afternoon and did fine. Jan and I  have enjoyed the time together in spite of the reasons. This has been a crazy few days and hope to get back to normal soon. 

BETTY(can't seem to be funny or tell you anything clever. Boop)

p. s. so time to close.

PRETEND

 Old Nat King Cole song: "Pretend  you're Happy, when you're Blue, ,,,,,,,it isn't very hard to do.  .....and you'll  find happiness without an end.....whenever you pretend. " Well, I must remember to pretend more, but I am happy to be home from short stay in hospital. The parade of people who now know me inside and out are a large Parade. I am grateful for them all. I am also blessed with much loving family and friends, who love me. I will rest and take advantage of the attention and get going soon.

OLD FRIENDS

  I feel like the tulip I have  been telling you about is an old friend. I have watched it grow into an wonderful flower. It went through rain and storms and stood so braved  through it all. Lasted so long. It today finally gave up. I have enjoyed the bravery of it. I have another pot of tulips coming on, hope they are the same. I think everything else is good to go now. My neighbor has a hummer feed up up. His wife said they had seen one feeding. So the Spring has has come. But beware, we may not be through yet.

BLUE SKIES SHINING AT ME

 And just what is that bright, blinding ray in the sky? Oh, I do remember, that lucky old SUN. How welcome it is. My mind was so full from yesterday, that it had trouble resting in sleep last night. Nice, very nice thoughts, but it kept playing over and over, yet I slept. I really did sleep late. 7 o'clock is late for me. I toyed with the idea of going down for breakfast in Cyber. But could not wake enough to get going. Had a soft boiled egg and TOTAL cereal with banana. Hence, not much cooking, fast and easy to clean-up. I will get back on track today. A new display on the Hall table. Could not wait to chase the bunnies back in boxes and pack away till next time. It looks good, I think. Not much clutter. A. let me use an old vase that was given to her. How to describe? Maybe she can send a photo soon. Beautiful green and looks pretty with pink flowers. Mama's old  table scarf with flowers she embroidered so long ago. She would transfer a design by pressing an iron from the paper to cloth. Any thing she wanted to make pretty. I kept some of the ones she did. She would always crochet around the edges. Ah how the way we do things now. Time seems to march faster now. Maybe that is just the way it is. Around the table yesterday, I was quiet and listened to all the stories, such a pleasure to just listen.

And to enjoy the wonderful ham, stuffed eggs, asparagus, hash browns, potato salad, slaw, and much more, ending with famous strawberry short cake. My, my, I have a plate of left overs waiting for my lunch. 

BETTY (lucky as the old sun) BOOP

p, s, just enjoy.

HAPPY EASTER

 Nice and crisp, but promise of a little sun later. Later after Church, we will gather at Sophia and Paul's home for as many as can come for a well thought out meal to everyone's delight. We do have good cooks. Looking forward to all of it. Good food, good company and lots of laughter. That is always what it is all about. Family and guest sometime too. Like today,

Talking about Easter and rising from the dead, my special red-purple tulip does just that. Amy calls it  Photoropism.  Look it up. It rises from what looks like  it's last stand" each morning, and shows it's curled- in petals and opens as it is able and smiles at me. I am writing a lot into it -- in my mind and I will not share it with you. You might pat me on the head and say "there, there, Betty Bones." Family knows that old story of Betty Bones. 

BETTY(off to the day) BOOP

p. s. Oh, Happy Day--old song.
