Reading old blogs.

 I want to keep a better sequence of what I write on this blog but it is difficult since we do so many different things. I am at the BHSC sitting at Rackets drinking an iced cold drink with coffee and brown sugar. I did the running machine and exercised my legs. Last night I could not sleep my legs and feet hurt so much. I took sleeping pills and Tylenol. I think the Tylenol helped. When I get home the first thing I want to do is write down all the pills I take for the meeting tomorrow at Jabba. Three young girls close to me are doing their homework. Two huge tennis players are looking at their phones. One is talking on his. I like sitting here. I usually swim but it is too cold so I exercised. Here come Rick. I am now watching the World Series. Tora to Blue Jays vs Los Angelos Dodgers. The Blue Jays just had a home run and the score is 2vs 1. 

I sat by the foot meager and am hopping I will sleep better tonight. The add is Serena Williams and wight loss. I exercised at the BHSC on the running nachine ad leg exercises.now, Shohonei is at the bat. He is Japanese and does not speak English. 

At ice WonderFarm and Vineyards

 We are going to breakfast. I painted a picture of a bluebird and Gold finch.

We had pizza last night at the wine tasting place. The first night we had steak at the restaurant. We have the TV on the today show.

Yesterday we drove in to Bristol. Half Tennessee and half Virginia.

We went to an antique store. I spent & 25 dollars. I need to look at magazine more so I appreciate southern living. 

Reading A Walk In the Woods

 I am home from Senior Lunch. I brought home two books, one by Tony Morrison, the other religious 

The speaker was a man who just opened a book store close to the Quirk hotel on Main Street. The woman who cooked the meal opened a baking shop. I want to go to both. The Doctor called me and ask how I was doing. I was a bit dizzy this morning and thought about staying home but decided I needed to around people. The event nourished my mind and made me want to read more. The speaker talked about why we read. Is it because we want to hear what the author is telling us or because we want to think about our opinions while we are reading. Theeb sun is shining through the window. This is why I like to sit here. R is going to return at five and we are going to Monticello for another talk.

Had Surgert Yesterday

 Our day started when we left the house about 

8:50. It was confusing when we got to the hospital parking lot. There were several. We got to Building C and took the elevator but made the wrong turn. But, we finally got to the correct room and were introduced to a person who took down lots of information and put a badge on my wrist. Later an other wrist bracelet was put on. I am still wearing that bracelet. I had one on my left wrist which they took off after surgery. The wrist bracelets help the. Nurses and surgeons keep track of patients. 

I am in bed now drinking coffee that Rick brought me. 

I am going to eat egg bites and then continue to use this blog. 

I ate two egg bits and three pieces of es of Jelly toast and five almonds with sugar.

I sent address to Gus.

I am still tired and want to rest. I had surgery and the nurse told me to rest.

Many people saw me yesterday and they sent me home with a blue folder so I know what to do.

I have not yet decided about the Senior lunch tomorrow,

I just read a note from Rotary. They want coats.  Efore Rick leaves tomorrow, I will find some. It is a gorgeous day. I have not been out side but have looked out the window.

I will write mor later.

Emily Dickerson wrote poetry but then hid it. 

Spent the day with my grandaughter

 I had a stupendous day with Eliza. It started with a trip to the library where we they had a half price book sale. We both bought books and I also bought music tapes. We had lunch at the I Dian restaurant and then went for a swim at BHSC. She is a good swimmer and fun to be with. She can laugh and play like a little girl.

We came here to see grandpa who was cutting the grass. I showed her lots of pictures. I wanted her to see the one I had of her and grandpa. She painted a picture and I hope she finishes it later. 

One of the books I bought was a journal about sleep. 

I am going to put o. Neispoan.

Just Reading emails and catching up

 I made a plan to go to the library on Saturday with Eliza and then for a swim.

I ate cheese crackers and the end of the fancy cheese cake and drank coffee. I also ate two pieces of jelly toast with key lime jelly from Florida. 

I cleaned out the car. It was full because stuff from yesterday when I went to Costco and Dollar store yesterday.

I have a book beside me I want to read, I found it in our book case.

My goal is to send package to Joe, my brother who ask me to get him pajamas. 

I just came up from downstairs.

We had a discussion about whether R will go to the post office with the package for Joe. He will but reluctantly. 

I found. Book downstairs wit poems and picture I am going to try and paint..

I read about Senior center but do not really want to join.

I want to enter a painting in Small Works but do not know how.

How do I price it.?

I am sleepy. I have several books around me, a writing book, a book with paintings I could do and 

Have hearing tested

 I will have my hearing tested at Costco at 10am.

Next I go to see Bess preform her gymnastics. Then I drive to Crozet to take Eliza Swimming. 

Right now I am watching TV. She is offering a reward for Nicolas Merado who i have never heard of . FBI oust three officials. 

Yesterday we all went to church together

 Josh Bascom gave a good sermon about money and neighborhoods.

He said Jesus talked about money over 100 times in the New Testament. I am going to look it up. 

After church we went to Tip Top restaurant for breakfast. I had scrambled eggs and ham with tomatoes instead of potatoes.

Catherine Bradley, my daughter is now selling real estate.

She came to our house at 8 am this morning. We had a long talk., well she did most of the talking.

Rick showed me a  thank he got from one of his exercise friends. I ate the donuts I bought at the Farmer’s market on Saturday.

I cooked my scallops for a snack. I am also eating the plums Catherine gave me. I will meet Eliza for a swim tomorrow. 

We are going to the movies

 I go to the doctor at 1:15. The doctor is an orthopedic doctor on Pan-tops. We both woke up early. I tried to go ack to sleep but instead woke up. I came downstairs and cooked half of the scallops we bought in Irvington when we visited Rick’s sister Marty. They were tasty. Usually they are cooked wrapped in bacon but I just fried them in Butter. 

It looks like rain. I am sitting in the family room. I sat in the jacuzzi and looked at the blowing trees and dark clouds. I have a cup of coffee in front of me. I am still hungry.  I just cooked grits in the microwave. It is quick cook. I added blueberries but it still does not taste good.

Later I will write Eliza and Catherine-about our trip to Iceland. 

I bought a book called Mindfulness JournAl. My goal in life is to be mindful. This is a first step. i tried to sleep. Now,  I am going to work on an oil pastel.

Still Waiting

 I began another post. Our trip on the Viking Mars was sucesssful I should have written in a notebook and took pictures. Walker drove us to Cville airport.Bess was with him. We took a plane to Chicago and the to Reykjavik, Iceland. We have discussed the pronunciation several times.

I am using my new ipad

 I bought a new iPad today. It was expensive but I hope it works well. The man who helped was extremely pleasant and helped me a lot. I am at home trying to get used to it. I will write more later. 

I have been using it several days now. It is Wednesday. I had to take it back yesterday because it was not moving back and forth when I touched it. A nice young man helped me and now it is okey. 

I painted Monday with the Art Guild. Today I went through my old paintings and improved  on them. Peg suggested we paint everyday and I am going to try and do this often. 

I am going to go to BHSC and swim when Rick goes to exercise. 

After the movie “Elenor the Great

 The movie was about an old lady my age. She wore pink curlers in a lot of the scenes.

Should I rewrite what I just wrote??

This is a good time to write. I am alone with my winter house coat on sitting on the green corduroy sofa. Rick cook a good breakfast of an egg on a roll. I ate every bit of it slowly. He likes to cook now which is a relief to me. 

I am trying hard to learn more about meditation so anything I see I think I should read I collect it.

I am also trying to write more and to paint more. 

I read yesterday’s post, the Newsprint copy. Rick reads it everyday. 

I read about Jane Goodall.

The new pope Luke and his Press conference.

The Jews and Harvard controversy. 

The daughter is the movie last night was taking writing at NYU.

Church safety all over the country.

I am writing to improve myself and to think 🤔 better. That is my goal.
