smile

 I have my smile back

    And I am not drooling any more.  Well, not that anyone would notice.

    I have screwed up priorities.

    Every day I get my breakfast, get Jackie breakfast, go into the den and read the Trib on line.

    Matt made coffee today.  (In case you missed it, Matt is a friend of Julia's from Switzerland.  He is spending a few days with us.  I am really happy to see him again.)

    There was extra, so I poured a cup  and went and sat on the patio.  It was gorgeous!  Why haven't I been doing that?  Just sitting, watching the birds, sipping coffee....it was nice.

    This afternoon Julia was out on the front porch.  I went out there to talk to her and same thing!  It was beautiful out there!  Why have I been sitting inside instead of sitting on the porch and reading?

    Then the little black no see-ums started biting me and I remembered why.

    And no, the garden cart did not get touched today.  Maybe tomorrow.

    I watered my ginkgo.  As I turned the water on, I got caught up in the hose and went down hard.  I landed in the grass, but my back and one arm hurt.  Guess I am lucky I did not break anything.

    Matt grilled supper tonight.

    It was a veritable feast!  We had steak and pork chops, salad, corn on the cob, tomato and mozzarella and a few glasses of wine.

    He loves to grill.  The first thing he did was spend a few minutes cleaning off my grill.  I told him I clean it once in a while, but he said to clean it after every grilling.

    He also told me I can't just put meat on the grill and walk away.  That is my grilling style!  He suggested I watch it carefully to avoid burning the meat, which is also my grilling style.

    All in all it was a nice day.

    But I still have not touched the garden cart.

    Maybe tomorrow.  Or maybe not.

Peace and Love
