Started the week off with six xrays of my neck and four of my hand. The Dr. informs me that me that the arthritis in my neck is very bad. That in my hand not as bad as the neck. As much pain as I am in, I'm thankful it isn't anything worse.
Today my house looks like a tornado has hit it and the demons from hell are making all the noise they can. Why, you may ask. Because, I am getting a walk-in-tub installed. I have debated about it for the last year, but finally decided that even though I hate to spend the money, it has become a necessity. It will be finished by tomorrow night. What a tub. It does everything but standing and singing the National Anthem. Can't wait to try it.
Well, the sun is shining, a slight breeze is swaying the branches outside my window, and the noise from the bathroom convinces me that I should go out on the patio and read.
Until next time,
Be Kind to One Another.

This week has started out with a bang. Went to the Dr. yesterday. Had six X-Rays on my neck and four on my hand. I have arthritis very bad in my neck. Also have it in my hand, but not as bad as the neck.However, I can't even carry a cup of coffee with my hand. As much pain as I am in, I am still thankful that it is only arthritis and not something much worse
Today, my house looks like a cyclone hit it, but this is good. I am having a new Walk-in-tub installed. I have had so much trouble with a regular bathtub that you wouldn't believe it. This tub will do everything but stand up and tap dance. I am looking forward to being a much cleaner person and hopefully one with a little less pain.
Well, it is a beautiful sunny day, a slight breeze blowing and a lot of noise coming from the bathroom. Think I'll go out on the patio and read......ah, the life of a senior citizen.
Until next time,

Have you heard the story of America's Hero Dog for 2011? There was a short blurb about her in Sunday's paper and I was so impressed I thought I should tell you about her.
Her name is Roselle. She died in June of 2011 at the age of l3 years. What did she do to become so famous? She saved a man's life in a very dramatic way.
When the World Trades Center was demolished, on 9/11,Michael Hingson , a blind man, was working in his office on the 78th floor. Reselle led that gentleman down 1,483 steps to safety, saving his life.
I am a big dog lover and it amazes me when an animal can do such magnificent things. God bless our furry friends who make our life so complete. Three cheers to a very special Yellow Labrador.

Well, the banana bread was great. In one word, Moist. As far as taste, I couldn't tell much difference. The best thing about it was it was my new "comfort food". From now on, it's blueberries in the batter.
Just finished reading Secret Lives of the First ladies, by Cormac O"Brien. It covered all wives up through Laura Bush. It is an interesting little book, with only four or five pages of information about each wife. It reveals some of their idiosyncrasies, their desire for or against their husband being president, their social life and their ability to be a president's wife.
Some wives gave great parties, a few were not very social, and there was one that forbid drinking, smoking, card playing or pool in the White House.
Decorating was also an interesting aspect of the women. From one wife to the next, some wives had very definite ideas on how the home should look and often quite different from one another.
A few had very tragic lives, such as Mary Todd Lincoln.
If you are snoopy like me and like to know all about people, you will really enjoy this book. It is light reading and sheds another aspect of Presidential life in the White House.
Until next time,
