It's August Again

 It's that month again.  Granddaughter is still happily married.  My breast surgeon says everything is ok.  Daughter had to sell her house, but her brother found her a manufactured home in a gated community and she's settling in.  Living alone is all new to her. The fact that she qualifies to live in a senior community is a little rough on me, though.

Ron managed to get in a garden this year and took loving care of it.  We've been supplying cucumbers to whomever wants them, green bell peppers and green hot peppers have been coming in pretty steadily and the tomatoes are really turning the garden red.  It's one of my favorite times of the year.  I almost become a vegetarian between what's in our garden and what we get delivered from "Market wagon".  

We were naughty children today on our trip to Sam's Club.  We bought a jar of M & Ms plain, peanuts and peanut butter plus a jar of Skittles.  Time to hit the exercise bike on a reoccurring schedule. 

Yearly doctor's appointments forth coming.

It's 2023 and going fast.

Each year, as I renew my domain, I tell myself I'm going to write more and, as you can clearly see, I don't.  Life is good for two retired old timers.  Our days are pretty much the same each week.  We try to get out one day shopping for our meager needs. Sometimes it's local stores and sometimes we travel a bit but once a month it's a trip to Joliet's west side, Sam's Club.   We're trying to have our "Date Day" meal at different places that we haven't tried before but sometimes we fall back to old favorites.  Last week we ventured out to Monee, Illinois to visit our daughter and have lunch.  We decided to try the Polish restaurant a few blocks from her home.  I'm so glad we did. We all enjoyed the food and took home enough for a light lunch another day.  I hope this isn't the last visit.

Winter of 2022 ***

It's goodbye 2021 and hello 2022.  We're looking forward to a better year than the past.  August wasn't our favorite month though it started out pretty good.  Our oldest granddaughter got married.  It was a nice quiet affair in her father's (our son) backyard.  Her brother got his license and preformed the ceremony.   The next week was my visit to the hospital as an outpatient.  It's the first time I've really been inside the hospital, so all was new.  Ron got to come and stay the entire time.  A lot of our friends had more serious hospital, but their spouse had to wait outside the hospital for their release.  I've recovered fine and in time to fly out to Arizona. Our daughter's husband has had a series of ailments and spends a lot of time in the hospital, so this time wasn't expected to be any different.  But it was.  He died August 29th, 4 days before his wife's birthday.  She's not doing well but that is expected....
