Thought I would start a weekend thread instead of a daily as not many post on weekend
My day has been good so far. It was rainy and dreary earlier but sun is now shining.
I did 2 hours in pool and got to see a hawk on a branch near fence. I tried to get to my phone to take a picture but it flew away. It was neat to see him so close. I was swimming laps and birds started making all kinds of racket.When I turned around to see what it was it was the hawk.Cool.
Then Bill came home and brought me 20 roses. It is out 13 wedding anniversary on monday but it marks 20 years since we had our first date. Just took a short nap and as soon as he wakes up we are off to run errands and go to Red Lobster for suppper.So it has been a good day.We are going to the zoo tomorrow.
have a great 4th of July.Be safe and eat healthy

Hello Everyone,

Eleni....Happy Anniversary Monday. We used to see a pair of Hawks often when I was walking regular. We walked around a health and fitness center that had woods on one side and the hawks hung around there. Haven't walked this year. I had back trouble early in the year and now my knee is bothering me.

I told you all about a week or so ago about my cat, having to have a bad tooth pulled and wasn't eating. Well, there is more to the story. She has early stages of kidney disease and she isn't eating much or drinking her water. The vet told me that there was special food she could eat that will help her live longer. But others have said their cat will not eat Hill's K/D. I have tried boiling chicken and mincing it up for her and coaxing her to drink the broth. She seems to like that. I am depressed, thinking about losing her. She is a very sweet, loving cat. She is a very good friend. She lays with me when I am on the computer and when I reach out to pet her, she plants a kiss on my hand with her sandpaper tongue. She's beautiful inside and out.
I've been trying to keep busy to keep from thinking about it. DH says we should try to enjoy the time we have left with her. Hope you all don't mind me expressing my feelings about her.

On a lighter note.....Hope you all have a happy 4th of July. I guess we will go to our granddaughters for a cookout and spending some time in the pool.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Nita Sorry to hear about your cat. Our cat Simon is 14 and I keep waiting for something to happen.I have to get him in and get his teeth cleaned and I dread that. So far Vet says he is in great shape for his age. It is hard when a pet gets sick. I think just enjoying him is the only thing you can do.

Eleni... I live in the country so I see wildlife all the time. We even have deer cross behind our house, and get in the garden, don't like that much. Oh boy 20 roses, a very thoughful man, better hang on to him.

Nita...Sorry about you kitty. I don't have cats or dogs, we leave too much and go off in the RV. I don't like to ask people to take care of them.

We aren't having anything special for the 4th. Maybe we might go fishing. That depends on the weather. Otherwise I'll get some time in on the puter making graphics. I love doing that.

Everyone have a great 4th and week.

What a day it has been. Just got a short nap and I feel much better.Only slept about 4 hours last night.We got to Lowry Park when they first opened and good thing we did.They only had 2 motorized carts to rent which amazed me. As big as that place is and as many people who go there I would have thought they would have several. I couldn't have made it walking. I don't know how Bill did it as we were there over 4 hours.We took 5 rolls of film.I better have some great pictures. The animals were great.It is just a big place. I also got a lot of sun too.But we had a great time.
Then when we left Bill knew I wanted to stop at the Pearl Art supply store so he gave me my anniversary card early and it had $50 in it.He already gave me 20 roses and he prepaid for the new Harry Potter book.Plus he spent about $50 at Lowry. So I bought a small metal t-square I wanted and a drawing clip board and a pad of paper. Altho I gave him a $100 to use on his truck I have not gotten him a card yet.
I may just make him one.We were going to put film in Winn Dixie before we got home but we were so wiped out we made a bee line for home. He is still asleep.
When Bill gets up we may go out for supper.Lunch wasn't too good.Chilli dog with no bread. Bill only ate a few bites of his.
Ok That's it.Tomorrow it is rest and see a movie.
