Now I haven't thought of that for a long time, but they are still my favorite flowers, even tho I don't grow them.
Hi everyone...I thought I would crawl out of my shell and post. I do get to some night chats and even fewer day chats but I am still so busy with work and my mom. If I don't have a dr appt, then she does or any one of her outings. I love her to death and love the time we share.
I have my mom's car for the third time this summer. My Blazer is in the shop for the same thing, it tries to flood when starting but smoothes out after a while. It only does this when I am driving, strange, huh? We trust our mechanic very much, he is honest and I wouldn't think of changing. It's just something they will have to figure out. Soon, I hope. Our grocery store is giving away a smart car and I put my name in the box for it. It is so funny looking but Bill said that if we won it, he would drive it to his work and I would get the jeep. I'll go for that.
I go see the headache people tomorrow for a scheduled check in. I will probably get back my palm pilot to record my headaches in. I have been without it for the summer, kind of nice not to have to make sure I get on the phone every night to report in. Is all this worth it, I don't know. I still have the headaches but not as severe as without the stimulator. BUT, will I continue with it, I don't know. Still paying our deductible on some of the services used when I got the darn thing. If I have to do it again (pay another deductible) next year and go round and round with everyone like I am this summer, then I will scream. In fact I will scream louder than I have this year.
It has been very hot with not much rain from Dolly and not any from the other one that hit Galveston. We have year round water restrictions of not watering during the day after 10AM but have not gone to once a week on an assigned day yet. We sure need the rain. At leas from the hurricanes, it did cool down a bit, low to mid 90's during the day.
Bill is having more trouble with his foot and leg than he used to, favoring it all this time with a little limp, it is starting to effect his other hip and knee. Still... he does the same things as he has done from the start but in moderation now and I don't have to remind him to take as many brakes as I used to have to do. Now he just takes more on his own.
Better go or you will get tired of reading this long post. Do take care, everyone and be safe. Love and

Thank you Gabby, BIG HUGS back at you with your problem with your pain. Bill deals with it, I deal with it but if it can be taken out of the picture, go for it. Love and

Hi Free
You will always remind me of that yellow rose of TX. So good to see you. I am sorry you are having headaches still on top of the headaches that all the frustration of dealing with medical insurance can cause.
I am so glad you have the time to spend with your Mom. Those are memories you will cherish all your life.
Sorry to hear you Dh is having problems with his foot. Wish there was something they could do for it.
Darn cars sometime it seems the problem is just hard to fix. I sure hope your trusted mechanic will be able to get it fixed soon.
Good to see you girl do try to pop in more often.
Love
Free, you sure have been busy. We miss you when you can't post or visit in chat.
I hope your car gets fixed this time. Fingers crossed that you win that smart car! That would be amazing!
How did it go, today, seeing the headache people? I hope Bill doesn't have many more problems with that foot and leg.
We're short on rain, here, too. It would be nice if we could both have a nice, gentle, all day rain.

Hi, Free, Really good to see you!
Hi RJ...Thank you for your concern. I talked to the headache guy today and it looks like we will be paying off the rest of our deductable for the surgery by the end of this yesr. Tonight, after going thru a grooling middle of the night last night, I don't know what I will be doing as far as keeping the stimulator in next year, I woke with a headache at 1AM, went back to bed (which I shouldn't have). Woke again at 2AM with same headache and stayed awake for the rest of the night. I talked to Grams at 4 or so and took little cat naps this afternoon, but this is really getting old.
I was with my mom again today, taking her to one of her dr appts. This is taxing but I am glad she is as active as she is. The only thing abut having Tue appts is we don't go to ceramics that day, one of her fun things to do. Thank heavens I have my older sister helping do for Mom too, I know that there are several of you that have to take on that burden by yourselves.
Thanks for saying hi. Love and

Hey Jan, we got a little over 1/2" of rain today. More might be coming our way later this week. I am so happy even for that little bit.
Yes, I saw the headache people yesterday and I answered the usual questions and that was it. Bill is feeling better with his legs and foot, it comes and goes.
Darn it but when I got into my mom's car this morning, (I am using it while mine is in the shop), I heard a clunking sound and she did too when I went to pick her up today. What am I doing to the cars??? Any way, on my way home I heard nothing and Bill looked and test-drove it this evening and nothing. Maybe I was draging a branch or something. Love and
