It's Rainy Looking!!

I'm so happy it's rainy!!  It's almost 10 in the morning and it's just 59 degrees

The rain has made the dirt wet ( of course) and that means moisture in the air and that's means cooler. 

Oooooohhhh hooooo!!

And that means - I hope - a cooler summer!!!!

When haven't you----

Watched scary movies when you knew you would have nightmares?

Eaten ice cream for dinner or supper whatever you call it?

When haven't you tried to not laugh - out loud - to keep from hurting someones feelings?

When didn't you kiss your new babies toes and smell that baby scent??

When didn't you want to go to Paris or Florence or even Pompeii. 

Roadrunner

We've got roadrunners!!!

There's only one thing that I think about. Roadrunners eat bugs and seeds and other BIRDS!!!

We have a cardinal family with us this summer and I want them to not become part of Mr. Roadrunners supper. 

Time slowed WAY down

This morning I found the flower seeds had germinated but the dirt was dry. Here comes Jerry to the rescue!!  Hose in hand!!  

I watered and then put the weeds in the flower pot I keep to put peels and weeds so they can deteriorate into dirt. Came back to the front of the house missed the step and fell between 2 big pots. In VERY slow motion. Talk about feeling stupid.  

I called the doctor and made appointment for tomorrow. I'm going to call in the morning and cancel. Besides being a little sore my mind has cleared, nothing's broken and I can think. 

It scared me for a little while but "I am woman hear me roar!!!"

Computer trouble

Telling it like it is. It's been raining cats and dogs. The grass --or in our yard, the weeds--are green. The Iris have bloomed and been destroyed by the rain. The Day Lillies are getting ready to bloom and there are bunnies eating the weeds!!  

SPRING!!!!

There is ALWAYS lots of wonderful things happening even in the midst of not so good things. Jerry is down to 149 pounds, but he is eating more now. He's coughing more because he's allergic to grass and its Spring and what happens in Spring?  The grass grows and needs to be cut. Making Jerry cough up buckets of phlegm. 

Yuck!!!

The upside is that he brings me roses off the bushes. Iris from the bunches. He smiles and has as good a time as he can. He watches the birds and keeps their feeders full along with the bird bath filled with water.  

God is soooo good!!!

Teaching!!!

Jerry worked International for 24 years. His or rather our first assignment was in England.  Right on the East coast of the Country in a city call Great Yarmouth. The city where David Copperfield and Black Beauty lived. The city where the Pilgrims set sail to come to America. A walled city that swelled to three times its size in the summer as it is a holiday place. Lynn met a man who had been coming to Yarmouth for 50 years I believe she said. Every year to the same bed and breakfast. 

We found a bungalow in a quiet area. A small house with a large road. One bedroom downstairs and two upstairs. And a church right next door. With a cemetery on the grounds. 

To get to the bus stop you had to go down the path - the unlit path - right next to the graves. Ok in the daylight but the kids walked it on Friday and Saturday night. Movies and bowling!!! And that wonderful mussaka.  Sometimes in the summer it took the bus an hour to get over the draw bridge because of all the traffic. Two lanes and 3 times the traffic battling with a draw bridge. Most of the time in the summer I'd take the kids to Norwich (pronounced nor itch). It was so much quicker. 

We loved it. I told Jerry once if I ever ran away don't look for me in Yarmouth because he'd probably find me. 

More later
