August already!

Howdy....here we are....already into August - My oh My, how time flies as we get older!!

Enjoying the summer weather, finally. The rubber ducky race was much fun. I learned that one can purchase a ducky for 5$...and they set up a finish line at the bridge down the river. There were a lot of "officials" making sure the kids didn't go out and grab a ducky, or otherwise impeded their travels down the river. Quite a sight, believe me....hundreds of yellow rubber ducky's floating down the river...much fun to watch!

Had a tragedy happen Tuesday....one of the residents here - a stubborn, cantankerous old man, who drove his "scooter" way too fast - got hit and killed by a truck in the intersection at the end of the building. He had been a long time resident here and many were really upset about it. I always passed
his window on my morning walk with Fritz, and saw him often sitting in his chair in his underwear....That's about as far as I knew him...

Yesterday I had a wonderful visit with some old Sweet Adeline friends...One of them lives in Merrill Gardens a few blocks over, and the other is in Walla Walla......It was so good to see them...we yakked until it was almost dark!

Physical Therapy is "going"...I don't like it but I do it...I always hurt more afterwards...perhaps that is a good thing????? I see my doc on Monday.....What I want is some stronger pain pills but maybe I need a cortisone shot instead??? We'll see what she says on Monday.....

Fritz gets his hair cut this afternoon....I know if he knew what he was going through he wouldn't be looking forward to it....but I surely am...He is extremely hairy!

That's it for now.....see you later.
