coming back to life.......miss you!

when i began inviting the world in more didn't they know i meant no trespassing, no phone calls, no anything before HIGH NOON????


vented and done.  the phone rang three times before 9 am today.  mercy mercy me.


the cardiovascular bill is paid.  $26.44.  thank God for Medicare! 


confirmed my dental appt for Tuesday at 2:00 pm, the crown should take around 90 minutes to impletment.  plan to have a good chewing kind of meal that night...........yahhoooooooo!  hmmm, roast?  burger?  exciting to think about!


left Deb a message......inviting her to go to the pool at Jordan Rhodes Park.  they open tomorrow at noon.  the official first day of the summer season for swimming in our area......i think Sunday would be best for me to go, but we'll see.  this pool allows us great access because you can just walk in...no steps, no ladders!  lots of fun to be had for all ages......a lazy river, areas to swim, climb on ropes, go down a giant slide.......and it's very low cost.  a senior from this county can go for six hours if they are up to it for $3.25.  sweet deal! or you can get a seasonal pass for very cheap......


spoke to sara for a ny minute, feel bad as i woke her up......she gave me sweet pea seeds for mother's day and they are growing!  sooooo cute!  each stem is about 2 inches high, at the top sits a tiny green sweet pea heart.......(heart shaped leaf).  i didn't know they were so adorable! oh my!!!!!!


the birds who built a nest outside my kitchen window are singing their lungs off, happy parents!  i saw them fly in today, tiny and cute!  i think they are sparrows, i feel like i should KNOW this, but i'm pretty clueless mentally........but not unhappy at all.


feel calm, tired.....wishing someone would massage my shoulders and do my hair.  wouldn't that be marvelous???? the sky is overcast......again.  but each day the sun visits.......waiting to paint is tiresome.  (someone asked why i'm painting the furniture i'm giving away, it's to my daughter and i want it to be a gift to her......something she and hubby can enjoy around their new firepit with pals.  (painting outdoor wicker furn) xoxoxo....


what else?  sorted the inbox of mostly junkmail, done!  paid the bills yesterday! good.  part of me would like to get outta here, but that always means spending money........which reminds me, if i wanna hit the pool i need SUNSCREEN......guess i'd better go get some, burning is BADDDDDD! very very bad!


i wish you could see those tiny little sweet pea sprouts......wish i hadn't woken sara up, she took today off which is not her usual....usually she has a bunch of helpers over on fridays working until early afternoon......i told her to close her peepers, hang the phone up and close her pretty eyes.......robin redbreast is visiting the back yard.....he looks very fit and chipper!


this message is coming out pretty positively......good.  on the outside i don't even feel like smiling or talking......on the outside i ache and drag, but my insides are coming back to life......praise God for the internal quiet joy I feel........you're good friends.  i like you and i love you! 


now if bruce can just come mow the jungle, the dancelions are impressively tall......hello sweet bird.......he's hopping across the bird pillow, then onto the mosaic tile table, checked the plants out.......stood on top of the tiny winged girl sitting on a snail.......she is holding a tiny winged creature in her hand.....painted her a bright happy blue this year.  she is a STAR of the patio, tiny but brilliant!


(she's a small metal garden statue, six inches by 5 inches maybe.....and cute)


this is Memorial Day Week End.......my father served this great nation of ours......thankful for his service, for the service of all men and women who give their time and service in care of our FREEDOM.......blessed to live in the USA!


there is a dove hunting for breakfast .....and the tiny mommy bird is also looking for buggy treats.......i lived here for years and never noticed how much life is happening right  here in my own back yard.......praying for you, to heal, to have energy pockets, to have life, love and joy........

Serce sometimes it takes us slowing down to see all the life that flourishes around us. your sweet peas, birds sound lovely.
Wish I could go with you to the pool. Sounds just devine. Glad the bills are paid and your crown will soon be fixed. I vote for a tasty
hamburger fries and a coca-cola...yum!! Glad sara took the day off and got some rest. America is my home too and I love her and you
Take good care sweet pea Sparrow. ♥

I can tell by your journal that life is treating you pretty well! Getting out with your lady friends much be such a blessing- isolation is hard on the soul. I hope you got your pool visit - very fun. I’ll go look up sweet peas online so I can share in your joy over their cuteness. Many hugs, Elle
