SPIDER LILLIES

It is time for thoses amazing flowers popping up in all surprizing places. After we move (some day) whoever buys this house will benefit from a lot of surprizes. My creative husband (?) has planted so many things all over the yard. Something coming up all the time. He says it is for me. I think he enjoys seeing things grow. Anyway, these spider lillies are amazing. They pop up over night it seems and give you a burst of red frills for a few days and then green leaves and finally go back to sleep till next fall. How wonderful.

STILL HOT !!!!!!!

Hello All, Physical Therapy over. Glad. I still do exercises two times a day but they are not hard--just time consuming. I do have better range now. I am glad. Amy and Jan for the last 3 Fridays have spent most of the day helping me clean out closets and drawers of unused and unwanted items. Now when we do decide to move to smaller "digs" it will be eaiser. I can not believe how much comes out of the closets, under the beds and shelves. My o my it feels good. They even haul it away for us. I owe them big time. I would guess we have at least 4 more days to really get done. Some days I am sure we are ready for independent living or assisted living even total living. There are so many different ways to go. I guess we are not ready yet. We will know when the time is right. We have lived in this house (which we built) for 40 years. A lot of living has gone on in that time and a lot of memories. But the memories will linger as long as we can remember. We are both getting very forgetful. Can"t remember anybody's name. Jan said she is like that way too. Off to France for her next week. I know that will be fun. Keep those blogs coming. I do enjoy so much knowiny some of the things you are doing.

P. T.

O how it hurts!!! I do hope it is worth it. Physical Therapy is taking a lot of time and with SILVER SNEEKERS also and exercise two times a day--o boy. It is still so hot that anything you do is no fun. Jan and Amy are coming this morning to help me cleans my closets. I should feel great then. Wish you were all here to take some of my junk to your house. Hate to throw it away. Such a part of me. I should not be such a "pack rat" I will tell you how it goes.

BACK HOME

Hi! It is hard to get back into the "REAL life". SILVER SNEAKERS" was hard. Got my PI appointments set back up too. I am still cooking fresh veggies I bought from the coast. The corn is still good. And peaches make my oatmeal real good. Finally caught up with washing clothes and ironing. By the way-- have I ever told you that I love to iorn clothes? I even iron T shirts!!!. Crazy. some people would say.Love to cook too. We had fried eggplant last night. I made up a way to add a new twist to it. So good. Had corn on cob, yellow squash, sliced tomato and cornbread. We are still eating too much. Must come down a little. Must run and get this day on the road to real life you know.

P.S. I went to pick up my pictures at CVS and I had turned in film that had never been used. Now I was so mad at myself. The ones I had taken were sitting here ar home laughing at me. Oh well that is Par-for-the=course for me lately.
