UP AND DOWN

 I should be used to this up and down/ Getting kind of dizzy. Went to what I thought was my last OT but found I had two move approved visits. My power to be said I needed to go the whole time. So I have two more visits next week. O boy, I should have known better than to get my hopes up too high. So another week and maybe I will be on to just exercise on my own. I can do that, when I know it will help. This old Patch, Patch, Patch is getting old. Am I worth it? Guess so, the chances are being presented-so I guess I will try. 

How about this Summer Time. As old "Willie" sings" Summer time, and the living is easy." So, take it easy and try to enjoy.

BETTY Geese are taking it easy, no babies to take care of.  BOOP 

P. S TO ABOVE showers of blessings

 I received from J & A sacks of surprises. Strawberries, peaches. lady peas, homemade soup, Gumbo, chili, I must have forgotten something because there seemed to be no end to it Oh yes, watermelon too. What a nice surprise. Showers of blessings. Thank you so much. 

Love, MOM

RED ROVER

 Got a name for this little beauty. She rolls so smooth and silent. No clicking or hesitation. Doing her job. Making me feel safe again. Had a hard time getting her, but It was worth the wait. Do you remember the many games we played as children. Most did not require fancy equipment, just imagination? Not there is a thing wrong with the new. I am not apposed to good old progress. I am just saying--do you remember the outside games we played in the evenings as we hated to give the day up and go inside?  RED ROVER was one that I did not do well. Too small to keep up I guess. Big kids (they were always bigger than me) could run faster and push me over. Jump rope was more my style. And hopscotch too. I thought of RED ROVER this morning as I passed my new rollator. So shinny and red. So I said "Good Morning" RED ROVER, and it seemed to fit just right. So RED ROVER  she is. We will rove together in the halls and look grand. 

I have my last PT today. I passed the test yesterday and have achieved so much. I still will build on what I learned with taking the exercise class I used to take a few years ago and follow the exercise sheet they will give me. It is up to me now--I will do it !!!!!

RED LETTER DAY

RED LETTER DAY because I finally got my new rollator. We went through a lot to get it. Makes no sense what Medicare wants, but you have to bow down and do it. Anyway I had no choice of the color, I don't really care about that. just give me one that works. Well it is red and very pretty too. So here I go. Want to help me give it a name? We had a big plan and it finally worked. A. took me to Dr. for my eye appointment. Went very well as he was pleased with new meds. We met Jan at Sal & Phil"s for lunch. They lost our order and we finally got lunch about an hour late.Amy went home=Jan took me to pick up new red rollator. It went very well, but went straight to bed and slept till 3 o"clock. My what a day, but all is well and I am on the way to therapy this morning. Will that ever end? Yes. it will finally and we will really have a RED LETTER DAY AGAIN.

MONDAY WHAT CAN I SAY?

     iI am glad glad it is 0t day  and not pt. It is easy. More relaxing. I need that. I get so uptight and off center in my thinking. I imagine too much. Being off weekends is not good. But here I go again. Perk up "old girl"  an the end will come soon. 

A. brought me the last Gamache book. I have really enjoyed them. Louise Penny is a wonderful writer. She takes you to great places and gets your mind really working. That is a good read!!!Well. I must get on the road again and try, try, try to get better.

CORNISH HEN

 Ever  tried it?  Once in a while we have it for a treat. I have always felt guilty eating those cute little birds. I got curious about their origin. I knew they were a cross between two birds, but which ones. Read and enjoy, because I will not take up the space and time to tell. Good little read from Mr. Google. Anyway, I have one in my fridge for lunch. I know it will be tender and good.   I saw the mother and father of one little baby CANADA GOOSE walking the edge of Lake this morning. Only one left of the am sure of a large nest. It will survive because it it about half grown and too big for harm to come to it (I hope.) Imagine loosing almost your whole nest and the time spent by Mother on the nest and then one left. I know nature can be cruel but it is the way it is. But I wonder if the Mother duck mourns the loss? Sun is warming things up fast, so I came inside to write to you.

Glad for Saturday and weekend--NO THERAPY.!!!!

VISITOR

 Daughter # 3 came bringing everything on my list. Oh, do I depend on her.  She is a good shopper and it is, in a way exciting to unpack the groceries, although I know everything on the list before I start. I have missed shopping, even for groceries. It is a challenge, they tell me now because so many things are not there anymore and we have to try new things. Also the cost is staggering. But, we are still blessed to have what we need. We had a nice visit, on the Balcony. Soon it will be too hot, but for now, it is so nice. Enjoyed it all.

Well, off this morning to OT. That one is not as challenging, but still helpful.
