Thank God, it's only 95' and An Angel in my Garden !

Yes, that's right, only 95' And we have the delta breeze.  Yea, for Delta !  I swear it's such a relief to not have the air on and all the windows are open.  We have one fan going and it's very pleasant.  Who could ask for more ?

We had a mishap at the gym the other day.  A gentleman was in the shower and apparently had a heart attack.  Just so happen in the next shower was a paramedic who heard him fall.  He was able to work on him until the ambulance arrived which saved his life.  Our prayers go out to him and his family.  Then one of our members in our swim class had fallen at home and broke her hip.  From what I understand it was a small break maybe even a fracture.  She is in the hospital and will be transfered to the rehabilitation center in the next day or two.  She is 89 and always has a smile on her face.  She is missed and I'm sure she will be back soon.

More pictures of my yard.  Are you able to see Tasha, my dog on the porch.  She is a very sweet dog and I love her to pieces.  Then as you can see I have an Angel in my yard.  She keeps us safe and protected.  I put bird seed in the dish it makes for great bird watching.  Under the Angel is our wild berries.  They are becoming ripe and I have already been nibbling. Yum,Yum. 
Our week is almost over, my, how time flies.  I know we say it all the time but it's true it does go way too fast.  I guess because we have experienced life a little longer we do notice these things.  I remember when I had 3 little ones under 5 and I thought I would never get away from diapers or bottles.  Now I realize that time was so short and I know I did not enjoy that time as much as I should have.  Oh, the voice of regret, how it appears out of no where and shadows you for a time until you have to shake it off and tell yourself if you knew then what you know now, you know you would enjoy every second.  Then you must go on and forgive yourself your many faults and pray there won't be any major regrets in your future.  Hang in there !  Life has so many wonderful blessings and I'm proud to say I have many in my life.  Good Health, Healthy Food.  Tootles

Eleanor and Elviria

Are you able to make out my two cats?  They think I put the chairs there just for them, after all they just fit. Ha!  See how good my hydrangea is doing,
how I do love this plant.  Trying to find everything I have that is white and adding it to my little porch.  It's always in the shade and I love it.  There is a large walnut tree opposite the chairs and they are yummy.  This year the tree is full of walnuts so we should get a good crop.

I might try a another picture but sorry about yesterday those of you on the kindle it did not come up right.  You think you have it all figured out and then it's not.  This is Elviria she is the one who cleans all the other's faces (I'm not kidding).  We have two goats, Rose and Alice, our dogs, Tasha, Bella and Olivia, she manages to go around and cleans all there faces.  What a little Mother.


Hey, I have been tuning into a unique radio station.  I think I have talked about it before as my friend, Kathryn  substitutes in StoryTime, Tues. at 7:00.  (Kathryn should have the job as she is so good).  Anyone may have their own show, I'm sure they have to get approval by soneone but from what I understand it's generally a go.  I have listened to fabulous jazz, and I'm not really a jazz fan, but this I really like.  There have been American Indian songs, Hmong songs as well as storytime.  If you want the real news, not the scripted movie star version, this is the place you should be.  You get the real story.  I haven't even listened to everything yet but I plan on it.  The     address is     www.kzfr2.org      try it.   Tootles

Hello and Welcome !

Trying to not focus on the heat.  I know it's the end of July and we still have August to go and let's face it Sept. and Oct. can be pretty hot also.  So I just as well get over it.  Triple digits are here to stay for a while.

These are our tomatoes and squash.  Hope the tomatoes start doing better.  We did have them in a topsy turvy, where they were upside down growing from our porch.  It just was not working out so we moved them over to the garden where our squash is growing.  I don't know about you but it just was not right.  A comment my Granddaughter said, " Aren't plants suppose to grow up towards the sun"?  I rest my case.

Our Gym is doing fine.  I can't express enough how just going there has changed my life.  It's opened up a whole new world for us.  We have met the nicest people and on top of that we are getting into shape.  Have you started yet?  Check out the gym's in your neighborhood or get together with friends and start your own workout but please just do it.  You don't want to meet your friends in the Dr. office.

I'm now reading "Hidden Hand" by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth  1819-1899  It's written a little different than I'm use to but I really am enjoy the story. It will be interesting to get to the end.  I also have the new update for my kindle and have been happily organizing all my books.  Boy, you just don't realize how much time it takes to do this.  I've been working on it for almost a week off and on.  It really will make a difference as I have found so many titles I have wanted to read and forgot about so of course they are now up front.  Happy Reading, Good Health and Health Eating.  Tootles
