Good morning,


Yesterday was a good day. Mother had that appointment to get results of her Carotid artery and I am delighted to say that the results were very good. He said there is some blockage which is very normal for a person her age and that if she keep up with her meds that she can expect to be with us for many years to come. Imagine that..she is 86 and this has made us all very happy. We grocery shopped for her after that. She is changing all her light bulbs out to fluorescents, just as we did several months ago.


Today I have an early appointment to get my teeth cleaned and then when I get home I am going to go get my hair cut. My hairdresser has been out of town and I am past due getting it cut. Boy is it getting shaggy.


Oh we found a fully grown cucumber when we were tying up out tomato plants Monday. Our plants are totally loaded with blossoms. Cukes seem to grow soooo quickly once they get started. I might actually get enough to make some pickles this year too. I make the bread and butter type in my microwave and they are so easy. They are delish too and keep in the fridge for ages it seems. We have an extra fridge for drinks and extra foods like large items that you get better buys on.


Have a great day. It is a bit cloudy right now and we may get some rain. Every drop is appreciated this time of year. Do not forget to put your SMILES on soon!

Good morning, Becky!


I am glad to hear that your Mom's carotid artery is okay. I am sure that was a relief.


I am jealous that you have cucumbers ready to pick already. I am just now getting my

Oh how I miss having a big vegetable garden. My veggie garden is now tomato plants and herbs in pots on the patio. Oh well there's much less work now and we have lots of Farmers' Markets nearby.


Good news about your mom.

Becky, how wonderful that your mother's caratoid arteries are fine and they will keep up with the slight blockage and know well in advance if anything changes.
