45 DEGREES FELT GOOD FOR A SHORT WHILE.

I missed you at breakfast, because it was a winner.  Started with half a small grapefruit (good), then thick and fluffy whole grain waffle, Log Cabin sugar-free syrup with KERRYGOLD pure Irish butter with strawberries & blueberries, turkey bacon, coffee.  Mmmm  great!  Have you ever been to Ireland?  If you have, you probably went to Scotland, and Whales,,& England.  Been to England several times to start tours.  Wanting to see as much as we could, I am afraid we did not get to see a lot of each country.  Needed to go back and spend more time touring the country side and small towns and villages.  I feel  my roots are there.  I am glad I married a man who loved to travel, we spent many good time doing all kinds of travel. Ireland was one of the favorites.  But I digress.  To top off the morning,  I get to go to Church too.  Count your blessings, Name them one by one -- Old Methodist hymn See I was paying attention, Mother, even though you thought otherwise.

DID IT AGAIN

Yes, getting to be a habit.  I mean Breakfast-In-Cyber.  Seemed the right thing to do today again.  I praised the 2  very  soft scrambled eggs.  Cooked to perfection, bacon, and a no, no, a good old Cyber biscuit, coffee there and one for the road.  Great!!.  55 degrees and a little nippy to sit out, I sipped inside and did watch my birds enjoy crumbs.  You know, I thought how much fun and pleasure I get from writing each morning in my blog-THE DOT SPOT.  My two very talented grand-daughters set it up for me a while ago.  Since then I have come to depend on it.  For release of thoughts, forming words of wisdom, silly expressions, deep feelings and a way to talk to you.  Thanks to whoever reads and I will try to keep it up-if you will read.  Otherwise it is a pleasure to just try to write.

MANY THINGS

 First, breakfast in Cyber.  Two eggs "over-light". sausage and Rye toast and better than usual coffee.  First to order. Don't mind  breakfast alone, kind of like it that way.  Yesterday a new memo.  WE ARE NOW NOT REQUIERED TO WEAR MASK IN INDEPENDENT LIVING!!!!  (if you have the "shot". Of course.  Felt undressed  as I walked to  breakfast. but free.  Hope to keep it this way.  Also we are having a Clothing Sale  today.  Maybe I will pop in and shop for a sweater.  It is getting that time.  The Activity Room was full of clothes.  They open at 8, so I will wait till later and the crowd thins, and take my chances. I don't really need clothes, but as a woman, I like to shop.  Have missed my favorite place--DILLARD'S PETIES. I do wish you could see my Pansies-in-Pots, on my Balcony. They are all holding their pretty face up and smiling. Thanks to A.  What else can I write?  Things are doing well now.

AHH!!!! 56 AND DOUBLE ROBE WEATHER.

Yep, I am dressed in two robes and knee-high wooly socks and I am good to go, with coffee in hand and graham crackers for Buble' family.  And they came and dined in style this morning.  Rain gone for now, but it left us with very pleasant weather.  Enjoy.  The people are out walking this morning. STAUNCH AND STURDY couple, MR. FLOWER POT HAT,  MAN ON THE RUN,& A  NO-NAME GUY. (yet). OH me, how I do spend my time. Well, I remember being put out with my Mother and her observations of people--here I am  doing the same.  Just passed it on down to me.  Youth can be a cruel time.  But we grow out of most of it.  Hey, know what is good?  Pimento cheese stirred in you egg as you scramble it.  Try it.  Be brave today.

A, HAH!!!! 60 degrees

Does orange show up o. k?  Just   getting into the mood.  Everyone likes to decorate for Halloween here.  Quite a show in the Halls.  I got cool on the Balcony, even though I was dressed for it.  I had the best start for breakfast.  Half grapefruit to start.  My oatmeal was filled with the best blueberries of the season, so big and plump, added a couple of very good strawberries.  Ended with whole wheat cheddar cheese toast & coffee of course.  Good start?  I saw a brave couple walking and also MR. FLOWER POT HAT .  The sun is up and they are starting right. Went to see my very handsome ear Dr. yesterday.  Got hearing aids cleaned as well as ears themselves.  Must say, I do notice a difference.  J. & I picked up lunch from TRACEWAY GRILL.  Best meatloaf.  And veggies to  match.   My they were busy with many customers. Seems people are bravely going on with business as usual. Hope we are not  rushing it.

EARLY START

Kind of nice out there.  I am skipping balcony time to get ready for Dr.'s appointment.  Must have ears checked twice a year.  Hope it goes well.  Pick up lunch. I always get overwhelmed when I decide.  It is such a treat.  That part should be fun, but going to any of my many Doctors is always stressful.  But it keeps me going. Daughter # 1 compares me to Queen Elizabeth & Betty White--we keep on going.  So "short but sweet"  this morning,

HOT AT 71

Hot this time of morning.  Lady Summer is holding on.  She is pretty and pleasant,  but she has outstayed her welcome.  Mr. Fall with all his bluster and confidence needs to come,  with all the welcome he brings.  My little Pansies (we will plant today)  love cooler weather.  So come on-- you are welcome.  Change can be good.  Church yesterday was good.  Good to sing and pray and see people of faith.  The faithful few are indeed that few, but "cream of the crop" , as the old saying goes.  Must ask Mr. Google just what that means.  Will let you know when I figure it out.  You need to add that to your knowledge, I am sure.  Lets stop being silly and get on with whatever is there for today. 

BETTY (have a good one) BOOP
