Summing the first week of March 2011

Here in Atlanta Georgia March 2011 came in like a lamb weather wise. Got out in the yard and raked up all the leaves, cleaned the flowerbed and put fertilize in to increase nutrition of soil. I won't plant in that bed until we have a good rain, penetrate the soil.     Were doing something different this year for the veggie garden.   Carl has been lugging around the bed frame of a water bed for some 10 years.   I have made a garden box 72” x 84”. Went to the county for free mulch and

Pool Closed

I was out all day running around doing this and that of course with Carl. Had lunch out at a Chinese restaurant, it was inexpensive and good. Then we stopped at the nursery Carl needed some organic fertilizer and I found nothing. But, looking for my Mexican Sunflower seeds. So Carl stopped at our True Value Hardware store and low and behold they had my seeds. :Clap-Hands:Stopped at the coffee house, have a cup of Joe and chat with friends. After all that in a day, and I was

Round two for speech therapy.

Today was a successful day. Carl had his first speech appointment. Carl's therapist (Scott) is the head of speech therapy. Scott had two identical papers with sentences, one he gave to Carl to read off of and mark on problems he felt he had. And Scott marked on his copy problems he heard. Scott wanted to make sure both of them are one in the same understanding. Carl has trouble with th, sc, two constants together, the sounds of V, F. Carl wants to put the tongue in motion.   Scot

A succefull day!

I awoke this morning refreshed, the sun was coming up. The birds were having a field day at the feeders. My two favorite birds are Cardinals and Red Headed Woodpeckers. I have many other birds but those are the prettiest this time of year.   Today I'm going to stay at home and work on my computer network. I installed my D-link router a year ago. It was really easy, after all they have a 1-800 technical help step my step. Any one can do it, all you need is common sense. Well, my desk top

Left a sauce pan on the stove

After watching the View on TV Carl brought up the age old question "What's for lunch, where do you want to go?". I just wanted a sandwich. Carl wanted to go out but did not know what he wanted to eat. So, I put my thinking hat on and came up with No.1 Chinese Buffet. I read about this place $5.50 for lunch+10% senior discount. But it is a drive north 45 minutes, 29 miles. A foodie will go far for food. :laughbounce: I got dressed not paying attention to what Carl was doing

I fell again

I did a cleaning of my bedroom. I came across a pair of clog shoes. I use to wear them all the time before I was stroked. After I have only warn flat shoes, saddles, tennis shoes for 10 years. The clogs are kinda flat but they have a incline. I was deciding if I will that them for a spin. I took them for a spin, wore them when Carl and I when out to lunch. Everything was fine until we started back home and Carl spotted a restaurant he wanted me to get out and check it out and get a t

cabin fever? Memories....

I'm a person who was raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Ohio is a pleasant place to reside, for you   have 4 seasons. Spring, snow has melted, slushy streets are dry, wash your windows, put the   storm windows up and pull down the screens, finally get to wash your car and it stays clean   for longer than a day. Summer, swimming in outdoor pool. Plant the vegetable garden and   erect the 6 foot fence to keep out the rabbits, deer, and any other critter that thinks the garden   was plan

PEAS FOR PROSPERITY

Wishing you good luck and prosperity in 2011!   History of the Tradition:   According to southern tradition, eating Black-eyed Pea(s) on New Year's Day will bring good Luck and Prosperity in the coming year. The tradition began during the Civil War when General William T. Sherman and his troops marched from Atlanta to Savanah destroying everything in their wake. Everything EXCEPT the black eyed peas.   The troops believed cattle, not people, were the only ones who ate black-eyed peas. Aft

Misplacing my change purse

I don't carry a purse over my shoulder, instead for years I carried a change purse in my pocket. Now that I use a cane I have only one hand free. My change purse is a little bigger than a credit card. It holds my credit cards, the money I "don't have", and the change, "is all I have" lol :yukyukyuk: Carl and I were out and about and stopped for lunch at a new place for lunch. This was a Chinese like you find in the mall. Great lunch and very inexpensive. Took half of it home for later. I got

I received my gas bill last week. To me recieved it late to pay for this month. Why you ask, I'll tell you. I get paid by SS the second Wednesday of the month.

T'is the season

Carl and I went out to lunch the other day, Chinese buffet. Carl likes this place cuz he can fill up at lunch. We had a very enjoyable lunch, getting Carl to have a conversation. He brought up asking the MD doctor he wants to go back to speech therapy. His deficit from his stroke is Aphasia. Aphasia is just not speech but also reasoning, answering question like yes for no. I try making it a joke to lower his frustration for the mix up answers. He wants to speak words not practicing the alphabe

Will I be warm enough???That is the question?

The weather outside is frightful.Atlanta Georgia had flurries Sunday. My husband who is from California asked me what he was seeing what do they call it and why. I being from Cleveland Ohio said when the snow comes down light and fluffy that is called flurries. When you can't see in front of you it's called blizzard condition.   Today we have gusting winds 9 degrees outside at 12pm. Other wise it's 23 fringed degrees. I don't own a winter coat to keep me warm in this. I'm going out for lunch

Fall time.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Holidays are not my favorite time of the year. I have no family hear. It's just another day. The other week my vehicle was broken into again. They broke the rear driver side passenger window. Their was nothing in the car worth taking. Went and got it repaired. Carl decided to get a chain and lock for the fence and lock the gate every night . I just don't understand why thieves do this. I thought having privacy windows it won't happen again. I was wro

I forgot and I was blessed

This all started back in January 2010. I received a recall notice on my Saturn Vue that is a 2008, that I bought used in 2009. This vehicle has been running beautiful, after all I traded in a 12 year old car. Back to the recall notice. It read something about the heater core and pressures from hot to cold would fail. It stated I have until 2011 to bring in to a dealer. I put the letter aside and said one day.   About a month ago Carl said to me something is happening with the car, the windshi
