I can't believe that July is here now. We have had such warm
weather it felt like July the whole month of June. Things have
gotten complicated over the past few days. Mom's arm that she
uses for dialysis has stopped working for her. We are seeing a
surgeon in the morning to see what measures he wants to take
to help her get back on her schedule. In the meantime, she is
recovering from her bout with this illness that hospitalized her
last week. When it rains it pours it seems in her case lately.
Looks like it will be a busy 4th of July here for us trying to get
things straightened out. All your prayers will be appreciated
greatly by Mom and Sis and I. Will update you all when I get
a chance.

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND
SAFE HOLIDAY TOO.

LOVIN IT!!

So far I am loving being able to add things here on this blog as easy as can be. WhenI finally got the hang of it, that is. So many new things that Spaces
just did not even think of providing for us. The backgrounds and themes are unlimited here in many different ways and I like that. I do love to "change my skin" so to speak and do it a lot. Coming up with new things keeps things fresh
and that makes me more interested in blogging. I have to admit that since things changed over to Spaces I have spent less time checking out the blogs there than I used to do. I make an effort to find those I really like the most and then move on
to other things. When you visit me here from now on, I hope to keep it creative
and interesting.
When you stop by next time please make sure to feed Brandi for me..he
spends so many hours alone here he could use a treat! ; )

It's a CRIME!
That is what it feels like to me. Charging so much for one tiny item in the store. I know we used to pay pennies for gum and now a pack of 5 sticks costs 25 cents at the very least. Inflation is the culprit.. oh yeah it has to be. I mean the stick is the same size in some cases and tastes the same, but there must be some new ingredient that makes it cost more. Penny candy is so rare
these days except for some specialty stores. Recently I went to buy some cough expectorant. PLAIN kind no frills. I had to check three stores to find any. When I did, I bought the most generic brand as the real brand was almost twice the price.
I stood waiting to pay behind 4 children and their mother. What were they doing? They were purchasing PENNY CANDY. The counter in this small pharmacy had
a whole display of penny candy. I watched as they tried to decide which kind they wanted as their red-faced mother apologized for them taking so long. I smiled and said I remembered those days..let them have fun. Oh how I wanted to whip out my camera and take their picture. The joy on their faces as the lady behind the counter placed the candies in a small paper sack. When they left all smiles and
giggling I told the clerk it was fun watching them. She told me that was precisely why they do it.
DID I BUY ANY? What do you think?

SNOT

DEFINITION.. A contemptible child or mucus from ones nose. Okay then.. well
we know what it is. WHY is there so much of it?? I mean is my head completely
empty and there are so many vacant spots in there that the stuff just multiplies

by the minute? Does some gremlin come in the night and place some kind of spell on me while I sleep so that the next day there is more of the stuff? While I have blown my nose for a week now..something must be going on. It can't just keep materilizing, or can it? I must read up because the colors coming from my head and sinus cavities are so varied. One day it looks like I snorted milk through my nose and the next it turns to a nice mellow yellow. Yeah I know that color means some kind of infection. How long can an infection last? Apparently, a long time even with medications. All I know is I have seen more than my share this week, andI won't bore you with what color is coming up from my nether lung areas. THAT might just scare ya!! AHHH the spring-summer cold it is a vicious animal.

VICKS OR NO VICKS

Should I or shouldn't I? Smear it on and see

what happens. Mom was always attached to

her Vicks VapoRub. She thought it would cure

just about anything. She would put it on our chests

and then cover us up with blankets. One time I was

so sick with a chest cold she made me swallow some

of it! ACkkkk The jar states CLEARLY Do not consume

internally! Well maybe back 45 years ago it didn't

say it that clear. Who knows.. I was small and I only

knew that lovely rub made it easier for me to breathe.

We wore a scarf around our neck with it on it, we put it

in a vaporizer and the aroma filled the whole house.

So yesterday I smeared it on my feet. Specifically the

bottoms near the ball of my foot. I placed some nice

warm socks on and went to bed. Miracle of miracles..

it worked. I could breathe easy and actually slept

for the first night in several days. This simple solution

kept me from having to smell it all night long as a

bonus. IT WORKS! So if you ever wonder.. Vicks or

No Vicks GO with the Vicks!!

I GOTSA DOG!!

Yep I adopted a puppy and I don't have
no bill for the vet to spay or neuter it. I
don't have to feed, water or walk him.
Alls I gotta do is play play play with
him and that makes him happy.
He is the same color as our old dog
and has the same name. You will find him
down the page a spell.
I gotta tip too. Don't push that
MORE blue button I beg you..heheheh
you will seeee He gets pretty
happy I tell ya..He loves that ball!!
The neighbors
here on this blogger might
get a little annoyed with him and
call the cyber cops on me!! I sure hope not!
LOL
Aawww it's just a little fun.

Blame it on my illness I am outta
my mind from coughing... phfffft!!
