A Good Day

Didn't have much to write about the past few days. The highlight of yesterday was Sandy coming over for a visit after she was done driving the school bus. We had a very fun visit. I always enjoy her company.

Rhonda, who grew up next door, was here visiting at her parent's house. She came over and offered to pull some weeds out of my front yard garden! That woman is a machine! My garden was being overtaken by some nasty, invasive weeds that were choking out my beautiful perrenials. Rhonda to the rescue!

Today felt like a turning point for me. I woke up kinda late, but I felt so much better than I have in weeks. The soreness under my arm was almost nothing. (This evening, it's a different story). In the meanwhile, I did a few little jobs around the house that did not involve any heavy lifting, and then my Brother-in Law, John, came over in the afternoon and did some major weeding in my back yard along the north fence. It now looks fabulous! That was such a big help. It would have taken me DAYS to do what he did in a few hours! (Not to mention that I probably would not be doing that kind of work at this time...too hard on my bad arm, and the knees, too). John, I appreciate it!

I also got a little shopping done...just household stuff from WalMart. It just felt good to do something "normal" for a change. Then we went to Gary's parent's house for dinner, and a rousing game of Sequence. Gary and Ralph were merciless. They beat us so bad. Thanks, Mom (Edith) for the wonderful meal, and the visit!

It is fun to begin to have things to look forward to again.

Love you All! Thanks for caring.

Mary
