Well now, time is simply passing and the heat is still rising. I have not been feeling quite myself so I have taken it easy this past weekend. Limited outdoor trips and continuing to do some beading....
Although I have made this color before, I am varying the design a little. Next week I will finally have a supply of drops so I will be busy making more of these ornaments. Making adjustments as I bead to fit the bauble and little elements to make them individual.
The recent injections (back and ankle) have really helped with that pain. The new exercise for my back is easy and quick to do and I hope that it will also make a difference. Tough getting old------er.
Eva P the mother is doing well and adjusting to her new placement..... but.... I was wondering if anyone would like to help a bit. She loves mail... don't we all. Would you be interested in sending her a card now that she is feeling better? If so please email me and I will give you the address. I know it would perk her spirits even more. It is a big adjustment not be able to walk anymore and be independent, and to be out of your own apartment into a facility. It is a relief to my siblings and me that she is so far doing well. The miles between EvaP and me are about 2,519.... and knowing that she is well is a good feeling. If you do send a card just be sure to say you are a friend of mine so she will know.
This morning I am off with Dianna for a run to JoAnn's. An early start to beat the heat. The monsoon season is starting and it would be good if we at least had a better one than last year.... we do need the rain. I think the last measurable rain at the Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix was June 5th and that was only 0.02 inches of rain....drops really. I live about 30 miles from the airport and did not get any that day or any day for quite some time. I really cannot remember the last good rain we had. We have 10% chance this mid-week of rain.... which really means no rain. Of course along with the monsoon we have the danger of flash floods and that is another issue with water rescues. The phrase is "Turn around don't drown", but there are always those who think they can drive through the puddle that is actually a small raging river. It is like the hikers are climb the mountain trails here in the heat of the day unprepared and then need a rescue to come back down. Can not figure people out. Anyway, I am off to get a few things done around the hacienda. Glad we chatted. thank you for the kind words and for your friendship.
