Good Morning!! Guess this post won't have a title...can't figure out what happened this time/.....so what else is new?!
We are finally getting some decent weather...might get up to the mid-70's today...whoo hooo!!!! It is so nice down by the river..I love watching the ducks..especially the babies...there are now only 6 left of the 12 first spotted...they grow so fast..when they are allowed to by their predators...
The 4th was quiet around here...there was a "BBQ" in the social room...there were hot dogs and various other stuff brought by the residents....I finally came up with chocolate chip cookies that I purchased at Trader Joe's some time back. (Actually I purchased the refrigerated dough and baked them yesterday morning...) Anyhow....that was nice and took up the whole afternoon. I watched the Seattle firework show and I must say it was magnificent!! I don't know if it was better than ever because I now have a larger screen or it was actually better....I enjoyed it, if you haven't figured that out..:-)
I keep thinking today is Monday....it's actually Thursday....this old brain is getting addled!!
My scrapbook is coming along nicely...I am going to have to do two...One for me and Mort and one for the kids....I won't be able to use all the pictures so those unused will have to go back into the albums...which will take a lot longer than it took to get them out...
I went to the acupuncturist here in Renton, a few weeks back...I do believe it is doing some good...Problem is that it seems to wear off after time...I go again Monday...and will talk to the guy about it...The back pain has definitely eased up....still hard to get out of bed though.. I guess this has been going on long enough to call it "chronic pain", huh !! ?? Whatever, I don't like it!
I woke up obscenely early this morning...so I had better get going and do something besides sitting at this computer!

It's Here!!!Finally!!! Summer weather...about time wouldn't you say? I am very lucky that my apartment is usually in the shade so it doesn't heat up like most of the other ones do...
Things have been quiet lately...Looking forward to Jocelyn's return home from Germany on the 22nd... Susie and her family will be here in mid-August...we are all really excited about that.
I finally bit the bullet and walked down to the farmers' market here in Renton on Tuesday. I have received coupons to use there for fresh fruits and vegetables...$4 each,,,because I am a "senior"....It is about 5-6 blocks each way and I should not have tried it. Next time I will call the shuttle! Tired legs and weak knees are plaguing me now...Believe me...It is difficult to adjust to this getting old business!,,,Anyhow.. I was able to buy 3 pints of raspberries, 1 tomato, a couple zucchini squash, a stalk of broccoli and a small cauliflower for a mere 88 cents! Not bad, is it?!!! We also get delivery here in the building of stuff from Safeway that is day-old...like bread products, some green salads and several other bakery things...
Went down to the pinochle game on Tuesday...I just don't seem to enjoy it as much as I used to....they play on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon - once a week is plenty for me.
Took Fritz to the "beauty parlor" yesterday....They did a great job and all excess hair is gone...they left his fluffy tail tho'. Hopefully he is cooler now in the summer heat. He is so darned cute with a haircut. Strangers don't believe he is a Pomeranian tho'...
Better go now....have a good summer!!

I'm Baaaack!
I was having trouble posting my updates - and thus didn't get published...I couldn't find the "publish" button - the "save" button...but I have found them now and we are back in business...
It has been over a month since we last spoke...and now can you believe it is almost August??? We were all excited to welcome Jocelyn home from Germany,,,hopefully she will stay for a while!! I have really missed her! She is now busy working on her house...tearing up carpet....staining her back porch...erecting her gazebo....along with snuggling her two incredible grand babies!! I don't remember my kids being that cute...but I am sure they were...it has been so long ago that the memory fails me sometimes.
My back pain has eased up a lot...especially after two acupuncture treatments from the guy here in Renton...Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover this so I am going to only go back when I need it desperately. I still have the ache but it has finally gotten to a place where I can live with it. About time! It has been a long haul!
I enjoyed the Olympic Opening Ceremonies last night. It was nothing like the last time...but it was typically British! (which it should have been!) I love the games....I am glued to the TV a lot! What amused me the most was when the Queen actually got into a helicopter and they made it seem like she jumped out to make a grand entrance into the stadium...I laughed a lot at that one! But the "old girl" was there to open the games,.,,along with her family...
Wow...here it is almost noon and I haven't had breakfast yet. I hope the weather stays nice for us...the annual rubber duckie race is tomorrow afternoon down at the river...it is an amazing sight! They sell little rubber ducks to the folks, and which ever duck that wins the race wins some sort of a prize. Proceeds to charity of course. By the time they all get to our area of the river it is quite a sight, believe me!!
I had better get going...I will try to post oftener now, that I have the new format figured out!!
