DELIGHTFUL GUEST OR CREAM IN YOUR COFFEE?

Mary Grace and Amy had lunch with me yesterday.  Both trying to loose weight. it was interesting how they planned their lunch.  Going half's and ordering fruit and whole wheat and you know the rest.  I have been trying to eat that way for  years and it still is hard.  But we had lively conversation and that is what we dwelled  on.  M. G. and Ryan are gathering supplies and information on raising chickens to have their own eggs!!!  Oh to be young and have the time and desire to try new things.  I wish them luck.  Maybe they will let me name them.  They will really be pets.  I bet Truman would love this.    Amy got a kick out of (I am sure)  a friend who saves the little cream cups with the cream in them and she brought me a sack of them.  She said put it on your cereal and in your coffee.  O. K.  I will and thank you very much.  What a friend  and I have a whole bunch of friends.  I try to give back but sometime I have trouble topping some of my gifts.    THANKS BE TO GOD  for my friends!!

THURSDAY BREAKFAST

My sugar was under control, so I decided to put it out of control and have pancakes for breakfast.  I will drink water and do a 30 minute walk in a while.  They really weren't worth it.  The cook was distracted I think because she almost burned them on one side.  They did not rise well either.  Oh well, I will try again later.  The company was good.  Earlene and husband Darrel are such nice people.  This other guy who talks so much was there too.  But he was pretty tame this morning.  He usually has an subject he needs to talk about.  He is a great historian of a lot of different wars and times.  I  have not met his wife(they live in one of the village houses.}  Anyway, he is into WW11 right now .  I told him I had extra copies of Truman's book and I would give him one.  Which is what Truman would do.  Amy just called and is coming to lunch.  Guess I had better get on with my day.

BREAKFAST

I thought I would do something different this morning, so I went down to eat breakfast in the Cyber Cafe.  Would you believe I was the only one there to eat the whole time?  I just wondered if I  missed a message.  Well as I have said, my company is good so I enjoyed myself.  I came back and did a load of laundry.  I have a load  about once a week.  I am going to coffee with Sister  "D".  Yes she is still active but not completely in charge.  She is bring Shelly Jones from St. Dominic's to talk on diabetes.  Since that should be of interest to me--I will go.  Sometime I think I know nothing about this stuff.  It is so different foe each person.  I an constantly fighting it.  Still don't understand much about it.  Oh well, maybe I will learn something new.

SLUMP

Either I am in a slump or nothing is  happening but I haven't felt very creative in a few days.  Sorry.

WIERD DAY

I don't know why it seemed weird.  Just did not all mesh and get a flow to it.  Maybe it is the antibiotic I am taking.  It is affecting my blood sugar and no energy .  I went to Walmart this afternoon after lunch and thought I would not make it back. I put things away and fell in the chair and could not move for a long time.  Even though I thought I had good lunch, my blood sugar had taken a nose dive.  Can't understand this thing.  I try but can't seem to get it even for long. I had some very good shrimp and corn chowder for supper along with a slice of whole wheat bread buttered and a small banana with peanut butter.  That should bring it up and I hope not too high. 

Life is interesting.

MISS ME??

Been under the weather a couple of days.  Am up and running but not too fast.  Thanks to Amy, who took care of me along with many other duties of the day.  What would I do without her?  You know what, sometime it is good to be knocked down by illness.  It really can give you time to reflect.  But don't keep me down too long, please.  I just went down to the Café and bought two double scoops of sugar-free vanilla ice cream and two cokes.  I came back and made a coke float.  Now I did not use all of the ice cream and coke.  Just saying.  It was good. Maybe I will go to exercise class tomorrow.  We will see.  Maybe I will make a black cow tomorrow.  Chocolate milk(sugar free chocolate syrup) and fat free milk and sugar free ice cream.  It will be good, I promise., even though I sounds flat.

SATURDAY

Jan came and we had a good visit and lunch.  The taco salad was the best we have had.  Everyone was ordering it. I am not sure they knew it would be good  Oh well nothing is secrete around here.  We ate with Lettie  L. and was good.  Nothing much else of interest happened.  I did take my vintage valentines down from my entrance and put up Mardi Gras stuff.  It looks pretty.  Then comes St Patrick's day then Easter.  Slow up and  take it easy.  Must go and get ready for Church.
