Self propelled

Since the grass hasn't been cut since that fateful day- I borrowed my neighbor's lawn mower. She had said it is self propelled and easier since I won't have to push it. Her son started it for me and smiled as I chased the mower down the drive way. I was holding it but it was going faster than I wanted to go. After I got used to it and didn't have to race I cut the front yard and the sides of the house. Living on a corner there is enough lawn. I didn't do the back yard because I was done in more than one way.
That self propelled bit is great but I never could have done so much without it. My lawn looks nice and I am well pleased.
If I take a nap this afternoon in my chair I deserve It!!

Quiet Week

This has been a quiet week for me. I took two trips with my car. One to WalMart and one to do my laundry. We have had a few really hot days and I pretty well stayed in house. I am not pushing my luck. I have had to sit down and stop what I am doing a few times which is really getting to be a pain. I start getting light headed and I quit. My BP is staying down.
I haven't had any visits with my greatgrands except by phone. My neighbor has come over and one morning I sat outside on my porch before six in the morning listening to a crazy woodpecker pecking on a metal sign. Not too much food there! The bird was here last year to. It is a great way to enjoy your morning coffee

Indestructable NOT

Well this week I found out just how quick things can change. One minute you are getting a job done in your garden, and in the next you need help to get to your house. High blood pressure can go down really fast and if your not careful you will be down to. It can go back up after a bit but the question is why did it go down. I am not sure of the answer but I found out that my town and my neighbors are great. There are people out there willing to help.
Things I learned this week!!!!
1.I don't have a liking for being sick!
2. Even if the hospital is the best- I don't like it.
3. Even if the nurses are great they can't make me want to be there.
4. My blood pressure goes up and continues to go up while I am confined to a bed.
They say your never too old to learn but I know I can have a BA (bad attitude) but I am so thankful for my other BA(Blessed Assurance)
I guess I just wanted a little excitement.

Out For A Stroll

Tonight when I looked out my window I see a doe walking in front of my house. She was just walking at a slow pace down the street. She stopped to eat and I watched as did my neighbors after I called them. I hadn't seen deer in town for a few years but being close to the woods I wasn't surprised but enjoyed the view. She continued her stroll headed back to the wooded area.
Living in a small town up north I have seen many animals and I enjoy each one except maybe the skunk or snakes. God did make some beautiful beasts.

Week

This has been a quiet week. Not much to tell. I had to search for some bacon because when I went to the store I also bought a card that I mailed out right away at the post office. The next day bacon was missing. I searched like crazy doing some places twice. First the logical places then the unlikely places. When I couldn't find it I thought of my car and thats exactly where it was.
It was sitting on the front seat in the bag from the store. Thats the joy of getting old. I hadn't put it somewhere dumb. I just didn't bring it in. Concentrated on doing the card and not buying bacon. :o)
I guess it was a senior moment!!!LOL

Old Friends

Today while I was waiting to pick up some meds someone spoke to me. It was someone I worked with. He was a very good guy to work with. Our conversation wasn't too long but it was good to see him. Tonight while thinking of my day I suddenly realized that it was 25 years ago that I worked with Herb. That meeting brought back alot of memories.

Flying

The plane crash really makes you think! You can't depend on having many days on this earth. You have to make sure you don't carry grudges and let things that won't change your life get to you. People are all different and have their ways. Hurts can't last forever.
I pray that the people on that flight didn't leave too much unsaid and are in a better place than they were .
