HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!!

Long time--no post, sorry. Everyone else writes such interesting things. Mine sounds so dull. I did have a little escitement on Friday last week. I attended my 66th High School Reunion at the Colonial Country Club. Sixty five out of over 300 was not too bad. Of course some were spouses or guest. Still we looked pretty good in spite of the walkers and wheel chairs lined up by the wall. And Fathers Day with Linda visiting. Good food at Jan and Tommy's house. Everyone is talking about Gulf Shores for us. We really hate to give it up and I think we will try to wait and see. Hope we can go-would not be as right somewhere else. But we could bend a little just to all be together. By the way Truman got a new American Flag for Father's Day from Amy. Does anyone know how to burn the old one? Not much else to tell--so see you later.

ROSES AND OTHER THINGS

Well it is about time. I decided to write again. The roses are beautiful in my garden. It is so hot and everything else is having a hard time. Maybe we will get some okra soon but we could not make it with just parsley (which is doing GREAT), Not good news about the beach trip. How about the mountains. Maybe we will work that out. We must get something going. Thanks to Jan and Amy (those girls like to go) we will have a plan soon. Maybe a change will be good. I always say change is good and we need to know how to bend a little. The main thing is to be together. I don't know of many families who enjoy each other as much as ours. Do you?Off to get the cat checked for blood sugar. Yes I am still dealing with that stuff. Hope she is making progress. She is as tired of it as I am. See you soon.

LAUGH AND BE WELL

Long time-no see? Not much funny to write. Since January one or both of us have had health issues. No fun. First Truman'a face peel to ride of possible cancer . Staph infection layed him low. In the meantime more eye surgery for me and then I broke a cap off of a tooth. Three weeks of problems for that. I am still in treatment for the eye and hope that I have at least retained the vision I still have. We will see soon. In the meantime the azaleas have never been so beautiful. Our backyard is something to behold. We are looking forward to Mother's Day weekend when we will go to a cabin {or two} at Grenada lake. Linda and Joe will join us. Should be wonderful. And not to far off is the Beach Week. Hope many can come. Well we are off to lunch with our old camping buddies. We have all stopped camping but get together from time to time for lunch. O yes Silver Sneekers is still going on and I still love it.

SNOW

Hello, Me at last. I have been a little slack in my writing. Sorry because I love reading all of yours. We have had two snows you could measure this February. A record. Of course the last one was only an inch but the weather people got really excited with the record. Hey February is not over yet. Almost over, it seems weeks are passing so fast. I am looking to Spring. Maybe Truman and I will get all these little (little?) ailements straight soon. My vision is still blured in the right eye. Hope with time it will clear. In the meantime things don't seem right. I can not read very long without getting tired. Still have to be careful about lifting any thing over 10 pounds. Truman has had a hard time with his face but he keeps going. He is amazing to me. Enough of our troubles--I am sure you are tired of them. We are too. The bulbs are blooming in the back yard. What a sight up through the snow. There is always hope.

SNOW???????

Dear Readers, I have not blogged for a while. Been busy taking care after eye surgery. Doing o.k. and go back for a check up today. Truman has also been busy getting his face peeled. A trying experience. But that too is going as expected. He will have a smooth face-free of pre cancer. Too much sun all these years. It seems to be just patch patch patch now. Glad we can do something for our problems. Almost all of you readers have lota of snow. We may get some today and over the weekend could be a lot. Hurry to the grocery store and stock up on provisions That is what we do. My thing to do is make soup. So that is what I will do today.

RAIN AND COLD

Sorry it has been so long since I posted. I have a Birthday Sunday. #83. Can you believe it? Hope to have many more. This weather is co changeable. I don't know if it is winter or Spring. Maybe we will have a little sleet and light snow tonight. The Goldfinch in our back yard are eating like crazy. What is that the sign of? Snow maybe. I am haveing yet another eye surgery on Monday. The October one did not hold up and I am going to have it over. I dread it because I am so limited for a while but if I must have it to save sight--so be it. Think of me that morning and Truman too. He has to do a lot of lifting and bending over for me for a while.

SHIVER ME TIMBERS11111

A saying our local weather man says. I think he borrowed it from way in the past. It is true and soooo cold. 17 degrees this morning and might snow and get even colder. I was just about to go through my coat closet and take some old, out of date coats to the Goodwill. Think I had better hold on a while? I kind of like it cold. Warm fireplace at night is nice. The birds are eating like crazy and that keeps me bust filling the feeders. Silver Sneekers was good yeaterday but tomorrow I wonder if we will have a class if we have ice like they say. I hope we do because I really enjoy it. Whitney--I think we need to move to Florida.

Well I must go and buy some water and soup. That is what we do when we panic about snow being expected. Not a bad idea.

Sweetly Be and stay warm.
