 Lost my train of words I guess. I guess I will just hang it up for today. Too many mistakes.

WEATHER IS O. K.

 Will not dwell on weather. It is  good.  But why do Dr's have to always say., Well, remember you are "96".  I got the eye Dr. back yesterday, when I answered: But I will be 97 next month!!!  He smiled and I am sure he thought I would make it, but was afraid to say it. But back to my apartment and fixed a beautiful lunch from the fridge. I am holding my own with the eyes. No change is good for me. Thank you Lord and my very kind and smart Dr. Enough of that subject. 

Birds are happy with new food, but I have attracted a new fellow. Some kind of a dove. Really too big for my small feeder. But the others are approaching with caution. Waiting their turn. Fun to watch and knowing I have to let them work it out.

Jan took me to Dr. yesterday. It was lunch time when we finished. My eyes were dilated and I did not want to go out. We came back here to apartment and found  bits of  treasures in the freezer and fridge. Just like Mamma used to keep. She always had a piece of bacon or sausage plus a bit of toast in a little dish she kept on the stove. I have eaten many snacks like that.

D DAY

 Off to the Doctor today.  Eyes are important. I have said it many times and thanked God for mine. Now today I still thank him for what I have left. One good one I hope. I have an issue to discuss and hope it comes out o. k. We will see and go with what happens. 

Hey what nice weather today. You never know what you will get from that department. Again we will go with what happens. My birds will have a new food tomorrow after they eat the last kind.  Hope to draw some more kinds, Maybe some colorful ones too.

I will talk to you later. About the birds and the eyes. Need to see my birds.

MY SOURCE SAID 37 DEGREES

 But, I am unreliable. Don't bet on me. The sun is shinning and the birds are eating to brace the cold. Such a beautiful day. Choir practice went well, it was the last one before the Big Show next week. We are ready. Can't get the songs out of my mind.. Guess that is good. Wear your black pants and something Red on top. Now that sounds like a disaster, but we will be beautiful The men will wear a red bow tie, if they can locate one. Just listening to the conversations about the dress code and you wonder what you will see on the big day. But believe me, it turns out just right, Just sing Ladies and Gents and it does not really matter what you wear. Two years ago when we last sang at Christmas, THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY was dropped from the program. Can't remember the reason. I was devastated. My all time favorite has been added this year.  If I could find a drum, I could play it. But can't you just see that little boy and his drum playing his best?

MONDAY, BUT WHICH MONTH???

 It is a puzzle. I know we have had strange weather before. Trouble changing seasons, but this one has been very strange. Never know what to wear. Will I get hot or cold?  I ponder. I went to Broadmeadow, my church in Jackson, yesterday. I had so much trouble finding my place in the program. It all seemed to go too fast and I got confused and lost my confidence. And low and behold it was Communion Sunday and I had to walk with Amy's help. Very upsetting. I was troubled the rest of the day. What is happening to me?  Amy said you are 96 six Mom. Well I will soon be 97, will change for the better then?  We should hope so. Sorry to be so depressing, but that is the way it is. Blog's should not be this serious, but funny.

p. s. yes, I know the Preacher would bring the bread and wine to me at my seat, but that seems so "final"

EASY WAY OUT

 Saturday is a stand out special day. time to cook a real breakfast. Maybe pancakes, or special egg dish. Time to prepare grapefruit.?  I did not have an excuse, but I fixed a Speedy breakfast as I used to do when I worked (gainfully) employed.  I had the O.J., no trouble there. and coffee (of course. But I did poach an egg, still easy and not much clean up. A bowl of Total dry cereal with a banana. In and out fast and good. I still will in the future have my lovely planned breakfast, for I love breakfast. Now I have the time and  energy to do it. A little sit on my Balcony topped my morning so far. What next ?  Wait and see.
