Morning

Really trying to push food, weight just not increasing or just 2 lbs.

I love breakfast, so as I begin always wirh a cup of warm water , egg cooked perfectly, slice of bacon and seems bakery I love in Nashville has closed, son picks up loaf of bread that Whole Foods told him
similar to Tuscany bread (my favorite) and not so, disappointed when toasted hard as a rock,
so I had a slice of my Blueberry Bread and one morning a week make coffee.   All was good

but I am up and down looking out opened door and windows watching turkeys and one parading with his
beautiful tail feathers open and then finally a shot, not good but gives you an idea.

 Being physically challenged at this time, do not like but accepting I cannot run onto porch
and down the stairs with camera in hand, now have to make sure phone is in my pocket, cane in hand.  Yesterday I realized
even more as I wanted to take an image of a new flower, stepping carefully on to dirt, had no cane
as I quickly went outside, I had nothing to hold onto as I turned and when back on terrace I
thanked God I did not fall.

So a new day begins after an all day rain yesterday.  Bed time early as son in Nashville and need to go
over a lot on my desk.

Yesterday read Peter Taylor's best seller years back "A Summons to Memphis."   made me smile
for many reasons.   Also recommended to daughter who went to school in Memphis and a lot of
places in Nashville mentioned.   My son brought this down from his library of many books, saying I might like it, and I did.    Liked it enough to order "The Old Forest and Other Stories"  another book by this author, I always order these
books used on Amazon as such a good price.

My son browses often in used book stores as he travels and I was surprised that there are many
in Bangkok.

Enough shared, I love to write and now am back to another love of reading, but gardening that is
another story but ever thankful when creating around this cottage almost 10 years ago much was
planted and even now a friend occasionally shares a plant.   All plants do well except Roses
which I love.

Planning meal for today, just do not like food brought to me from restaurants, like my food
and now can cook once again.   So thinking stir fry with spinach, carrots, squash, celery, mushrooms ,
rice and shrimp and crab.    Tasty for my son when he returns.

Also when we went to market yesterday purchased fresh salmon and lean ground beef for cabbage
rolls, spaghetti or meatloaf, even a hamburger as like my own with cheese, lettuce and tomato,
also the lean, low sodium bacon that I have not had for a while.

Others for weeks have done my grocery shopping with my list and sometimes wrong item
so love now being able to do this, with cart in hand "I can fly."   Son pulls up to door, goes inside
for cart for me and then I am fine on my own....

See how fussy I am..........
