Hi everyone.
I can't believe that it is July 1st already. How time flies.
And believe me, after 70 it goes even faster.
Gloria: I'm glad you have BP etc under control. I got rid of the cough, and now need to increase the Benecar as it doesn't seem to keep my BP low enough at 20 mgs. so now will double it and see what happens. 7.5 lbs is great and keep up the good work.
Trish: Hope things are better with your DH recovery. And I sure hope that your kids in Indiana didn't have too much trouble with the flooding. The weather has bee very strange. I think we must be going through some sort of cycle, and i'm not sure that we can blame it on Global warming. We are finally getting some much needed rain, but it is still just a drop in the bucket and will take lots more to build up the lakes etc. I don't want any hurricanes, but we do need the rain from a good tropical storm, if it would be possible to have one without too much wind and thunder and lightning. I don't want too much

Maria: you will soon be off on your adventure. I hope all goes well, and that all those tricky river crossings will be easy for you. I assume that you will be in your camper, and living the campers life. I do hope you take some more wonderful pictures.
You gals are both right to tell Glenda about the wonders of retirement. We have had much to do, and I'm so glad that we did it all, before DH got so crippled that walking is a big problem. And I agree, that retiring together is a good plan. Then noone is left home alone. After some adustments you will do just fine.
Glenda: I hope that you may get some summer sunshine now, instead of so much rain. We have been happy to get the rain. I am sorry that it interferes with my pool time, but I really can't complain much since we need it so badly, and I don't have to water my plants now. You and Leon will do well with retirement, when the time comes. San Antonio sounds like fun. We only spent a short time there, but I loved it while we were there. Especially,I enjoyed the boat ride on the river walk. And the history of the Alamo is still fascinating. Be sure and pay a visit to the SAS shoe place. They are the best and most confortable shoes made, I think, and made in the USA.
Suz: I wish you could send me some of your Swiss Chard. One of my favorite veggies, and I rarely ever see it here.
I'm glad you are going to stick with us all, Feisty, Sexy and beyond. I hope you will find a satisfactory place to hold your produce stand next week.
Slavika: What is new with you? I am sure your GRandkids are keeping you busy, and taking care of Patches an giving her all the loving she needs is a full time job. Next week we are going to Williamsburg Va. to visit Holly and family and my youngest daugher and granddaughter are coming from Balimore for the weekend. It will be a family reunion.
Trudy: Haave you ever tried magnetic bracelets for the arthritis in your wrists? I wear one all the time, and I do believe that it helps. If you get a pretty one, it just looks like nice jewelry and still fulfills a purpose. I hope you finds something that will bring you some relief. Will you have to have surgery on the carpal tunnel problem?
Peggy: Hope you have all the tree problems taken care of now. And I'm sure you are enjoying the freedom from being in school every day. I remember how I felt during the summer. And then after I retired, it was wonderful seeing all the school buses going by and knowing I didn't have to be there. How are all your nursing home patients doing?
I have lost 1lb and hope itstays off. It is somehow a bit discouraging, when you can lose the same pound over and over. I don't know about the core. Maybe I should try that. Right now I just can't get to any meetings, as the one all the gals are going to is on Wed. a.m. and I have responsibilities at the clubhouse in the a.m. And now more, since the gal you ordinarily plays music in the a.m. has falled and fractured her arm, so now I am playing the piano. Just never a dull moment around here.
I hope I haven't forgotten anyone, but if I have, Hi. Looks like it is now time to think about getting something to eat for our supper. So long for now. Ann
