JUSTHIDE

 I had a cute picture of A &B's dog Indy.  She was hiding behind the shower curtain.  I felt that way all day yesterday, when I went through the Med's & Insurance maze.  My what a mess you can make when you slip up and run out of one.  Round & Round Amy and I went.  Felt like Indy and wanted to hide.  Thought sure I had another bottle of eye drops (very essential)  in the pill basket.  Basket because it is too many for anything else.) Must be more focused.  And check more.  It is a full time job to stay on top of this mess.

O.K. I think we need to write something else. the distant cousin   of the Bluble'  family, (BOB   I call him.)  What was  he was doing yesterday, just sitting among the cracker crumbs of the day? With his head tucked under his wing?  Oh no!!  Don't let him pass away on my balcony.  He sat forever and finally lifted his head, looked around, and flew away.  Napping? In the middle of the day?  I must keep an eye on him. He was first in line today.  So he is O.  K.  for today.  Hope I will be too.

GET ME TO THE CHURCH ON TIME

Well  we did get there on time.  What a wonderful feeling, even though the sidewalk was cracked and uneven, my trusty little "balance helper" got me there and with my capable driver, we got there on time.  I had a glorious time.  To see old and new friends, Lance and Chuck, and to actually sing and pray and to also take communion, was almost more than my heart could stand.  I felt in the presence of the Lord.  It was a good day. Guess I was remembered after all.  Hope to repeat it next Sunday.

I started Monday off right.  Woke up early enough to get to the Cyber on time too.  Breakfast was perfect.  Cook knows how to cook eggs-over-light.  Two eggs  with sausage and wheat toast and two cups of coffee. One for Cyber and one for Balcony.  I fed the Bluble' family and watched the drama The fog had lifted and the birds were singing.  MISS LADY WITH HANDS BEHIND HER BACK, came by.  I guess hands behind  her back, give her balance.  I have seen her in the Hall walking the same.  SO BE IT.

GOING TO ACTUAL CHURCH

I haven't been in person for  over a year.  Am nervous and excited.  Broadmeadow means so much to me.  Much of my married life is tied up in memories here.  I was about to give up on seeing it again. But after my booster shot, and Amy has her booster   too, we decided we would brave it.  Nothing more we can do but wear the mask and refrain from huggs  (will be hard.) This pandemic has been hard. but I have hope for better times soon.

Mr. JIMMY DEAN  met me this morning on my breakfast plate.  He said "Morning you"all.  Yes he did.  Was good and quick.  No time for fancy stuff this morning.

GYRO"S

My was it good!!!!  Picked it up on way home from an appointment.  # 3  daughter and I went yesterday.  Also stopped at Fresh Way on Old Canton R.  I enjoyed the ride as much as anything. I bought a beautiful yellow mum. (and boiled peanuts.)  Hope I don't "kill" it. The Mum I mean. So many changes you see when you don't get to go as much as usual.  Like a little mini-trip.        Another "little pocket of fun" this morning.  Breakfast in Cyber.  Guess what!  China  plates and real silverware. Dishwasher fixed and ready for service.  To be the first to eat and the dedicated cook, Trish, to cook my breakfast, with a smile, was pure joy.  Of course I may pay for that pancake I enjoyed-- later.  But like "Scarlet"  I will worry about that later. Sometime you just need a little slip in the rules, it is worth it.

LETS CATCH UP

Missed writing yesterday.  Had an early (8:15) appointment with eye Dr.  Had an early (8:15) appointment.  Too rushed to write Blog.  My eye Doctor gave me as good as he could.  Said it was surprising that I could even see .   I have been knowing that for some time. He has always been amazed, I have been through so many surgeries and treatment for many years.  I was disappointed to learn he is getting ready to retire and this was the last time I would see him. Am I going to outlive all my Doctors?  SO BE IT.  I will miss his dry whit and patient care.  

On another subject.  It is warm and humid.  The Canada Geese are restless.  Honking as they fly in gaggles over head.  The Lake is so calm and smooth that  the Cyprus & Willows make perfect reflections, like a picture.  So pretty.

76 and LITTLE HUMID














































Maybe rain on way.  Need it.  The walkers were out this morning.  MISS BIG HAT, MR. RAM-ROD STRAIGHT, MISS WALKING  FAST. MR MAN IN BASEBALL HAT, AND MISS I STILL LOOK GOOD IN SHORTS TOO.  One lone goose. kind of a lost sound coming from it. I saw a large gaggle of geese earlier, maybe he was Johnny-come-late,  and lost his family.  Hope he finds them.  Should not be hard as he was in distress.    Big day tomorrow as we get our Booster shots.  Nothing is for sure and we may have to do this each year.  I just have decided to take it as it comes. what else can you do?

GO WITH THE FLOW.

Learned to do that rather well.  This was the first morning we got to eat at tables in Cyber.  So I went for breakfast at 7:30.  The usual of two eggs over-light, sausage, rye toast, and coffee.  Only me showed up.  The dishwasher , Nick said, was prepared the day before so we could eat off china plates, but then refused to wash.  So we had to eat from take out plates.  But at least I did not cook or clean up this morning.  One small step forward.  Another day of small problems to solve.  Thank goodness for J & A.  Today may be full as well as tomorrow.  Booster shot on Thursday.  Great!!.  Need my Flu shot next. Oh, the things we do to keep us well and going.  Sometime I am sure it is too much, then I straighten myself and be thankful.
