The Beginning

 Of a rock wall!!!  Brian came home early today and started.... high winds came up, dust was blowing and it started to spit rain.  It takes a lot of fitting and breaking rocks, so it appears.  I was out digging up stray grass I had not gotten to..  (Just a little)
 There are still lots of rocks left  :)
 The white lilac tree at side of the house is blooming wonderfully!!!
And here I am... New blouse.  Bracelet I got in Bishop Hill, Il a couple years ago.  A really cool little Scandinavian community not far from Davenport, Ia
I had a soothing massage today, ALL over... my back feels SO much better today.  It is unbelievable and no chest pain....  it is wonderful.
Then I HAD to go to Lane Bryant as need some jeans and I found some for only $19 on the sale rack AND they were a size 14!!!  I am so excited , have not worn that size since 1965!! When I went into the Navy....  (but the sad part is that is the lowest size they have so if I go any lower will have to find another place to shop.  Already  can't get any bras there as they are all too big, it is sad but true, I have lost anything I might have once had in that area!!!  Don't know how my mindset will be to go to another store have been shopping there forever and like their style, for the most part)
Then to the dentist.  Then met friend Carol G. as she had my new Stampin' Up catalog and HAVE to have that as soon as I can.  Sit and pour over it for hours at a time, before making any final decisions  :).  Then to grocery store as had to get 'stuff' for smoothies as supposed to have at least one of those a day.. poor me..... tried frozen peaches and that was pretty good... get tired of the mixed berries..
Tomorrow back to the doctors for instructions and results and to Madras as have to get the Bounder de-winterized as brother & sil taking her for Memorial Day weekend to attend a wedding  in Southern Oregon....  Hope I remember everything that is supposed to be done.... Also have someone interested in buying her and will need all systems  GO.... to show her off.... (that is another blog)
So things are moving on, getting better, day by day.. Life does that, doesn't it???
Take Care All & God Bless

  2. I hear you, Loree. I'm at the smallest size in the big girl shops and the largest size in the regular shops. But I've shopped for big clothes for so long that I don't know where to start! You look great!

  5. Your yard is going to be so nice. The rock wall is so natural looking. It's nice your son is helping with the heavy stuff - when he can. I know it's hard sometimes because they are so busy. My son is the same way. :)

  6. You remind me of all the yard work I still have to do if I ever feel good enough to do it. You are looking fantastic and deserve lots of congratulations.

  7. Ooooh those smoothies. I love the mixed berries, but also use frozen cherries, strawberries, peaches, blueberries or bananas. And with the fruit, a good dose of cinnamon!Do you put kale or spinach in your mixes? Good iron there. And carrots, zucchini, nearly anything else. You are definitely looking good!

  10. You have lilacs in bloom! I've never been where they are growing, so wonder what their fragrance is like.
