POCKET OF PLEASURE

How I enjoyed my lunch yesterday with daughters, number two and number three.   I wish the number one could have been there too.  We ate at Amerigo's.  one  of all of our favorites.  So good !!The bread and olive oil they bring to enjoy while they cook your order is to die for.  Especially when bread is a no no for me.  We sat and ate and talked a long time.  I had trouble getting up for sitting so long.  But is was wonderful.  Amy brought what she called the Welcome Wagon treats this morning.  She and Jan had put together lots and lots of little packets of there homemade goodies.  Can't tell you all of it, but it will tide me over and safve me from the usual dinning room experience for a while.  They are good cooks and the peas, corn, cornbread, cantaloupe, meat loaf, and more than I can even remember.  Eggplant casserole looks so good.  I know I have missed something.  I will have good eating for a few days.  Bless them and many thanks.  Wish I could do something for them.

Balcony cool.

It was in the70's out there.  I know the workers are happy for the relief.  It will warm up during the day, but enjoy now.  I have been enjoying Instagram so much.  Got to see Ashley and Bryan's house in all the rooms.  They are back from Italy , a three week trip. and went straight to claim the new house.  It needs TLC and they are the ones to give it.  I can just imagine all the fun they will have.  New job of teaching for Bryan and Ashley will work from home.  Perfect.   

I am going to lunch away from here today.  Need that once in a while.  Jan and Amy are taking me out!! Well I must go and pull myself together and get ready.  Tell about it later.

ERROR

In my blog just before this one, I called my little figures for my table beavers.  Not right--they are racoons !!!!!

BEEN LAX

Lax but still here.  I wont mention little set backs.  Everyone has them and you have to deal with them.  I realized I am not by myself.  So no one wants to hear about your troubles.  I will just say this: I do feel better and am trying to go with that.  I decided I missed Cyber breakfast and since I woke up in time to go-----I went.  Jasmine cooks the best over light eggs-just right.  I told her that no one there cooks them as good as her.  I am sure she appreciated hearing something good to start her day.  Some people forget to say something good when things are good, but are quick to notice the bad and say so.  There is a difference. Always say something nice if you can. 

M.G. and Amy came by to give Bitsy her shot.  She is getting smart about it and was hard to let them give it.  Those two girls-M.G and her Mom lift me.  Amy brought me makings of an arrangement I want to do for my Fall hall table.  Pinecones and sticks.  I have flowers and leaves. I am rushing Fall because I am ready for it.  How about you?  I will bring my little beavers out.  The one I bought at the closet sale a while back. The lady who used to own them said to me a few days ago,"when are you going to bring my beavers out."  O. K. I like them too.  I will do it on Saturday.  I do love to decorate that table.

ADVENTURE

I  had a little break for my routine.  Jan called and asked if I wanted to ride with her while she did a little exploring. YES!!  We road through Lake Caroline. Truman and I used to ride through Madison County looking at new developments when he was still working.  He was so interested in what was happening there.  Little did we know that I would live here some day.  My it has grown and spread so far.  Many lakes and developments have happened since then.  He saw many of them but there are many more.  I remember when it felt like real county, it still does in a way.  A few farms and horse and cows still live there. I think Annondale Golf course  was one of the first and Truman played many times there in tournaments. Little did I know I would be living in Madison County some day on a Lake.  God's plan.  I enjoyed seeing such a beautiful place as Lake Caroline and my ride with my sweet daughter who realized I needed a break.

SCRAPING BOTTOM OF BARREL

What I mean by that title is this:  When you have to stay in and close to home not much happens that is interesting to write.  That right there said means I am not much of a writer.  I did get the desire to find energy to decorate my entrance and the Hall table that I take care of.  You know how important that is to most of us if you walk the halls and look at the creativity of others. After all it is our home..  People get along better and enjoy life more when you  make your apartment like your home.  It is after all. That is what it is.  So I do it.  I used the "back to school" theme.  Although most have been out of school forever, but we like to remember.  I have a school picture from the second grade.  Me on the front row (shortest of all) of course.  It is the center piece and then old school books, paper crayons, tablet, red apple for the teacher, ruler, glue of course a small American flag.  It looks cute to me. 

SO BE IT!!!!Betty Boop 

P.S. Not a computer, I Pad or any other "must have"  devices in sight.  How did we get along without those items?   

EARLY FALL ?

How pleasant on my Balcony. I think fall is my favorite season.  It announces change like no other one.  It seems new things are coming.  The beginning for me now is like closing in for winter.  Such a hot summer.  Any change will be welcome.  I saw a gaggle of Canada geese strolling on the meadow.  Eating as they move slowly and all together. The Meadow is still green but I am sure it is going to seed and there is food for them.  Soon the leader will give a signal and with great to-do they will all rise and leave in a dramatic flourish. What a plan.   The leader has a lot of control over the lot.

I feel restless.  Like I am not getting any thing done.  I keep thinking about my little Christmas project, where I make some little happy for my friends.  I know what I am making, but is it too early to start?  I know how fast time goes for me and I keep getting sidetracked with annoying health issues.  I love Angels and my new project-to-do is Angel related.  It would be nice to have about 50 little angels in the works.
