Home

Up and see my Jamie's email
they are home from a week trip in Florida, her girls each took a friend.

What a surprise, I prayed continual for a safe trip home for them during the night, kept thinking they would be in
tonight. 

Her busyness begins from this much-needed trip, orientation for one going to a new school is today and the other one continued education search will be going on.  Plus she is a writer who works from
home and know her desk is piled with paperwork and many emails that will need attention.

Thankful for her email.

Will welcome her visit next week
it is her Birthday.  My youngest, born 3 weeks early and so tiny.
Such a blessing she is to her independent mama who now seems to need some help in areas.

Thankful that my helper arrives early this morning and I want to begin planning another small
a place for flowers lost so many over the last 2 years.

This one still problems with ongoing UTI, will not share much
but seems most antibiotics not working and a DNA test was taken to see what can help.
Makes me feel really rough but just keep moving.

So just continuing on and almost have lost faith in the medical profession and will not expand on
that.

Did not share when she was on this needed trip and daughter who lives in Florida has had
her daughter and that precious great-grandson visiting and another one due in November.
Family is growing.

I miss everyone, but it is what it is - for lack of better words.

Hot weather is here and wonder if any rain in August.

So wherever you are enjoying your August maybe it is better in your location.

One minute they are not there
then you look
and they have arrived

This vine invasive
but I like you
Cyprus vine
with your tiny red blooms
as a lot have finished their season of blooming
you add some color

No Air Conditioning

I did not do too well yesterday when my air conditioning stopped

Mostly because I like people to be sincere with me
and this unit is just 2 years old, suppose to be serviced every year or less.

Many calls made and continually promises that did not happen.

My special yard boy, I called among others and he immediately said I am sending my neighbor
who services these units.   So very thankful and I say God Bless him as the temperature was rising
rapidly.

Other disappointing and upsetting situations happened and finally, have just brushed them off
but it seems more difficult as time goes on.

Even thought of not writing again
but I will continue onward.

Thoughts of a different form
maybe like a diary.

So many special people I have met over the last 14 years of writing and I am not ready to
let you go :)

A beautiful day, there were a number of them before this one and was even cool enough
to sit on the screen porch.   The ceiling fan stopped on that special porch and someone visiting
yesterday volunteered to put up a new one for me.   So a trip to Lowes tomorrow with a helper
to purchase one.

I have so many thoughts surface, guess that is normal at my age, a busy life that took many forms.

Practicing letting them go and not expecting more then others deliver.  As time goes by, we each answer for ourselves and at the moment I go forward with a clear mind.

It seems everyone's life is so busy at this time.  I remember with working and raising 4 children

Will say that special son in a land thousands of miles away can talk with me just a few minutes and with very few words can put his mama back on track and another can do the same thing for her mama

Check back in soon

Now this makes me smile
only a few came up
but I enjoy and soon the birds will too.

A blessing is a young woman
who helps me some evenings with my garden
and feeding the birds.  Appreciate her so very much.

My DAY

Today
was
Driving Miss Daisy day

my once a month special driver took me to the big city

visited several small shops

a favorite Church Thrift shop.

Always find a buy-in this special shop in an upscale neighborhood I used to live in.
Two small bud vases to add to my collection that I now just focus on one flower

Also a new silk blouse
$6 from an upscale shop and originally $75

My lucky day

Lunch picked up, chicken, veggies, rice and chocolate cake.

So Miss Daisy is home

Home always welcome after these short trips

So Good

You are weary of carrying out food
so yesterday - you cook

Salmon with your fresh Dill, twice baked potato, green beans, and carrots

Finished for lunch
just now.

Will make myself do it
if it takes a 1/2 day.

Hey
plus
sliced watermelon, cantaloupe
and strawberries with cake and ice cream

The Best

My son gave me this CD
probably 35 years ago.
Rediscovered it
and it plays continually.

Mozart best for relaxing.
