Saturday was 'breakout day." Jan came and brought groceries for me , Then we went to Fresh Way produce market on Old Canton Road. It has been operating for years there. I used to go to it in my Riverwood days. They have grown from a small stand on the Old Canton to what it is today. Now they carry so many things other than the tomatoes , lady peas. okra and corn, that I went twice a week at least to buy to have fresh veggies. It is hard to describe now. You must go. The tomato was so good. Of course strawberries are coming in too and they were good at breakfast this morning. I had tomato with bacon and an English muffin, and strawberries at the end. What a feast. Church this morning and lunch out, the day will be complete.
Betty Boop hope yours is too.

SATURDAY
As I ate my breakfast of "egg in a hole" or "pig in a poke", whatever you call it, brought back memories of when I used to cook them for my family. Try it, so good. I watched from the inside a couple exercising in the pool. Early and really going for it. He was obsessed I think with holding on and simply jumping up and down. Over and over. While she glided across the pool with grace and ease. Oh well. I am sure I saw it all wrong, but that was what it looked like. Exercise is exercise for sure. I finished my coffee on the Balcony. Behind a post so I would stop watching. It is a lovely morning. The birds are all a twitter and looking for a nest. Our birds are not as beautiful in color except for the bluebirds. Haven't seen them yet. I put out my little flower pot feeder. Real small and fits a flower pot. They came last year to it even though only one at a time to feed. It is waiting and ready.
Yesterday was the 8th anniversary of Truman's passing. I thought of him a lot. It seems like yesterday, yet I still miss him everyday. As I have said before, I kiss his pillow each night and wish he was still here. And in a way he is. Memories abound and I am grateful for them.
Jan is coming and we have a few things to do. I will get on with it.

GOT TO GET OUT MORE.
Wow, I am a blank. Nothing much to say. Of course a lot is going on. Meet and Greet, for new residents, Darvin Adams, Canadian football player. Art Class, Happy Stitchers, Book Club, Water Walking, all in one day and I have nothing to do? Don't feel sorry for me, it is all my fault. O well, none of that interest me. So, I will just get a hair cut (much needed) and bring my hair back to glorious color!!.. I wish.
I will get to it.

BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE
Spring is on it's way. Amy is holding me back. The urge to plant is nigh!! I know the nights are too cool yet, but I can think about it and decide what I want. Patience, please.
Trip to the Vet was tiring and Bitsy was patient. They clipped her claws. which had grown into her pads and I know it hurt. Took all of us to hold her. Must watch that closer. The Vet is so good and wants to help her. Allergy is tough in cats. She wants to cut back on certain meds for her benefit. So we are on a mission to do that. Amy made me a calendar because it would be hard to remember as the dosage changes. We will try to maintain her better without so much medications. O. K. She is as bad as I am. So much to keep us on track. SO BE IT.
I must go to the Band. Ha! Ha! I am lucky, my bank comes to me right down stairs and transacts anything I need. Now isn't that great.? You know, I always name the wonderful things about living here and it is true. But sometime, I miss getting in the car and just go do it. Don't go there--isn't going to happen anymore. Hate to be dependent on my family. They are all so supportive and kind, so enjoy!!!

IMPORTANT DAY FOR BITSY
I haven't told Bitsy yet, but it is the day for her visit to the Vet. If I get the carrier out, she will know for sure. Hope it is a success and a better plan can be made for her. Smart Cat. Thanks to Amy for help in this matter.
I wish I could see the Spring flowers at Riverwood. Remember the Johnny-Jump-Ups. the Trillaum, violets ? nd many other wild thing at spring? I hope the Lake is maintained as we used to do it. I hope so. It was a real gem right in the middle of the city and not many knew of it. Eleven of houses backed up it and we had a group who always worked as a club to maintain its beautiful water and shore that backed up to each property. We really enjoyed living there. Memories galore of many events . So much was shared with our family. Memories again. Thank you Lord, I remember them.

RAINY MONDAY
Rainy Monday, but it will clear later. It is nice to stay in and not "have to go out." Sunday was nice. Everywhere we looked, young girls and, not so young, were in shorts. Amy and I had lunch after church with MG and Ryan at Beagle Bagels. We sat outside and was a little windy, but we braved it. I guess we are all looking to nice outside time. I brought my toasted bagels home. They are so goooood. Maybe not good for you, but I will eat a small bit at a time .My they make chicken salad good too.
Why is coffee so good lately? I keep wanting to mention it. That is not like me. "cream in my coffee"," coffee in my cup". Oh well, I guess I need to hunt another subject or my few readers will give up on me.

SATURDAY
Cream in my coffee again. I have an assortment of coffee cups, so I get to have a different one each morning. I know some people like the same favorite one for the day, but so be it. Just like I like to change the color of my blog. Truman used to be amazed at the color ink I used. He was very conservative and while he never complained, I am sure he wondered if it was the thing to do. He was proud of me to use the computer( as bad at it as I was.) He would come in from work and say, "pull up the stocks." And we would see how they did that day. I guess that is my habit still as I look every day to check.
I am getting anxious to fill the pots on the Balcony. It is too soon. Someone said at lunch yesterday that we had not had that usual cool snap yet. The weather is so up and down, so I will take a note from Bitsy and be patient. That cat has the most patience and the best personality of any cat yet.
