Today was the most spectacular day.....cool temps....blue Sky. So Bill & I hit the streets.

We visited the home on the original lot we had chosen back in December of 2007. We were lucky enough to meet the man & his daughter. Just one man lives there alone. He looks to be about 80. He said he is not ready for the club house yet but is interested in bridge. We are trying to talk everybody into BINGO. We are having difficulty these days even wanting to go. We only have 4 regulars and if anybody can't come on a given day we just cancel. It's just not fun to play BINGO with a small group. We want big pots of money.
The house is smaller than where we are and the lot that looked so inviting on the map....is just OK. The house sits just a little in the wrong direction and water view we were dreaming of is not as good as we envisioned.
So once again....we got a break on being happy with our builder inventory home we bought.

Sunday night we had dinner with Greg and family Bill picked Fuddruckers Hamburgers. His appetite is still very good and we really enjoyed going out. I woofed down my burger first so I got to hold Maddy while Greg and Tina ate. She still has not cried she just squeaks.

Macy and Marley are so good they just either sit at the table or play in the area right by us. They both love their PawPaw and he just aglow when he is getting his hugs and kisses. We now have seven....count them seven granddaughters Lori 4 Greg 3. They are the spark that keeps us going.

Bill is now back in home therapy for another six weeks. The insurance will only approve more if he shows improvement. I don't think he will get it but I am still hopeful. Next Monday we are going back to having a sitter. Four hours on a Monday. I am getting a long list again of things I need to catch up on...mostly car stuff...inspection expires Saturday, Oil change, car wash OMG...I've been hauling garden plants, compost, mulch, pavers all in the car. It is the worst it has ever been. I also think I need to establish with a Toyota dealer here. I am coming up on 30,000 miles and I think that is a big one for maintenance.

Abby still comes to allow me to grocery shop and get stuff for the garden to work on the following week. But there are only so many things I can do in the late afternoon and evening. I also need to get to the doctor no problem. Just a check up in the office. The therapist wants us to see a rehab doctor. He thinks his meds need to be adjusted for spastisity. He is very tight and can't relax. He feels that is a problem in therapy. So we have to start with the primary care physician referral. He also is recommending a place here called Tier. It is a rehab facility for patients like Bill. He thinks if we can get a referral from a Rehab doctor they may provide a van the pick us up and bring us home. If not we will use the sitter for help with transporting. I'll keep you with a follow of all that soon.

We are OK.................

Hi Mary
I would also like to have pictures of my garden for now & later. I'll see what I can do. Lori added us to FaceBook ????? I'm not sure how I will like that but she put alot of pictures there. Not of the garden but us and the children..etc. I don't know how to put pictures on the blog I've tried a few times no luck. Remember delivering phone books when we were young and had energy. One of the few times in my life I drank beer....just because it was so cold and I was so hot. Stay sweet.
