Help my new plant.

Does anyone out in blog land have a Gardinia (spelling) plant. I was given one and I am so afraid my lack of a green thumb will do it harm. It is sooo beautiful.

Small Town Timing

The value of living in small town. Even though I don't like the road bed I appreciate how fast the town fixed my driveway.
It was fixed by 10:30 this morning. Hope we don't get another one of those storms.

Good Monday Morning Not

I woke up to my cat retching up in my room. WATCH where you walk and turn on the light before you get out of the bedJoyce. The cat gave me warning(thanks cat). Clean up the messes.
Open front door and check for damage from the storm last night. The cornor is full of gravel--better take closer look.
My drive way is gone. The culvert is almost completely uncovered. I am so glad the town changed the the way the road is banked.NOT =( At least I know where the gravel is from-my driveway.
Another proof that life is not boring.

4 Generation Time

Well,I had quite the first part of the weekend. This female house-myself and 2 female cats had company. Friday for a few hours and then about 6 hours today. My son,my grandson and two great grandsons came.You can't have a quiet evening when you have two two years old.The toys came out and nearly got grandma's big owie a few times. My son's girl had Rotor Cuff surgery a few weeks back so she has her arm in a sling plus. The 2 cats went upstairs and hid and were not seen.
It is amazing how the youngest has changed since I last saw him and for the better. Today we shopped and ate out.
Needless to say that was very interesting.
To get a little female into this blog**** My greatgranddaughter Amanda turned 4 today.
Oh,that means I didn't have 2 2yrs old I had one two and one three. When you dont see or hear for months I get confused.
Could I be getting old?

Boots

Well I have worn this "boot" on my leg since last Tuesday. First thing on in the morning and last thing off at night. It is now been on long enough that I am getting "catches" in the back and aches in the leg. When I think about not putting it on I remember the pain I had when it was off so it stays on. We are to walk a certain way and when we don't aches began.
A lot like living life.

Good Bye Art

A good man went to join the Saints Friday. Pastor Coats was 77. I didn't know him long but you didn't have to to know he was a good man. He worked with the senior members of the church.
I see him in my mind having a great time talking things over up there. His family can be sure he is in a better place and may even be giving sermons or setting up get togethers and side trips. Your demeaner and smile will be missed.

Broken bone

Well now I know I not only have Gout but I have a broken bone in my foot. I have to wear this thing on my leg for a month.
The Gout is getting better but now I have to get the bone healed.

Almost Complient

I have had a problem with my left foot for almost a week now. It continued to get worse. Painful,swollen and hot made shoes impossible the last 2 days. Having diabetes2 and my brother having lost both legs within a couple of years I should know better. At 11:45 am I called the office today (just so I could say I called) and told them my problem and asked if there was something I could do at home. I figured friday being so busy and calling so late I could get some idea for at home or a Rx called in. LOL = : ( I was told to be there at 1:00. We all just don't like people touching our hurting spots.
Well the doctor touched it enough. Then I had to get 3 xrays and a blood test. Now I have another new Rx that needs to be taken with food because it is hard on stomachs. Joy Joy.

I know I should do better but even at my age I can misbehave. I'm not anywhere near perfect and God must just shake his head and say to himself "Who is she taking after?"

Delicate Thing

There is a delicate thing we all have. It can be long or short-depends on many things. What we do or don't do. What we eat or don't eat. There are outside influences like accidents or illiness. But this delicate thing isn't predictable and isn't always the best for the best people. Sometimes the best of us gets the worst. It would be so wonderful if you could plan this delicate thing and that is the way it would be.
But God is the master of this delicate thing and has all the in and outs planned. We can only deal with it and not always understand.
That delicate thing is LIFE.

Birthday

I see where blogs have birthday wishes. Well, I am wishing a Happy Birthday wish to my son Bill. He was born on Ash Wednesday March 3,1954 at Ft. Clayton hospital in the Canal Zone, Panama. He was delivered by a Navy doctor who was taking over for the Army doctors that were out celebrating Carnival. I never saw Zeb Barnes M.D. before tuesday night or after he delivered Bill at 7:05 a.m. The nurses shift changes at 7, so one shift did the work and the next one got credit for the baby. There were about 3 or 4 babies born that day. I always say I gave up being pregnant for Lent.
This birth took place 10 months and 20 days after my first born failed to live.
God IS good.
