Friday is here

Not really a big deal when you are retired. Someone asked if I like being retired....After working many years, many years of an alarm clock telling to get up and get ready to be someplace all day then the driving to and from said place.... of course I like being retired. I did enjoy it better with My Denny being around, but I am making adjustments..... right AnnB? Yesterday I had a wonderful long conversation with cousin AnnB. It was by accident…. glad that I am not the only one learning to be a modern women with new phones at "our age". It started because when she was entering my new number in her phone somehow she hit the call button so of course we had to chat. Lots of laughs and a loving talk as cousin can do. We may have 2,519 miles between us but the chat was like we were sharing a cup of coffee. It is our generation that is up now. Of all the cousins I am (of course sis Lyn and The Brother Alan) the only one with a parent left.... and she is an in-law. Ann leads us with me coming in third age-wise. Of the twelve of us, 2 are now gone leaving 10 of us.

The baby Doves are doing well. Now that they are moving about, the parents leave them so they can get more feeding time for them. One day they will be too big to stay in the Clock Nest.....
Laundry is swishing and more to do. I have not gone into the garden yet...need to water the Plumeria and herbs. Due the fact that I received an injection in my right ankle yesterday and can not risk a site infection with the dust and such., sweeping the garden will wait. Yesterday was the Foot/Ankle doctor. He is a nice man who was quite attentive and gentle...key word. I did not even realize that the needle and med was injected until he applied the band-aid! My kind of Doc! While waiting for the x-rays ad exam, one of the nurses and I talked ...she is from Rhode Island too! So it was fun reminiscing about the place and who we know...in RI everyone knows everyone...almost everyone is related to someone you know. The diagnosis, is my ankle is full of arthritis …. which is part of aging. I return in 2 weeks to see how this injection helps or not. That about covers what is going on here. No plans for the day....and I like it! I think reading would be nice.
Thank you for stopping by and for the kind words and most of all your friendship.
***An Update on EvaP the mom.... she is out of hospital in in re-hab. So far all is well.
