Hi all: I haven't written much lately, just passed on jokes. Have been saying prayers for family and friends in harms way. It appears that Hurricane Rita has made a bit of a turn to the east and there is a chance that Galveston might be spared a direct hit. My niece and her family (Houston address but actually living in Katy) are going to ride it out as well as friends Ada Jo and Louis. AJ told me Claude and Claudell moved north to safety. My prayers go out to all in need.
Our house is a construction zone :-) First, the deck piers and now Paul is re-doing the outside entry way. For those of you who have been here, visualize coming to the front door and seeing the south wall of the entry gone! So much bright light! He will be setting the glass panes in tomorrow and then building the sheltered deck area for my plants. Larry would be SO pleased :-) Next he will replace the support post down in the garage - that is the only place we have any sign of termites.
This man is so reasonable and does such good work that I think when all of this is finished, I will ask him to give me a bid on replacing the front wall of the wood shed. I have the lumber and the glass bricks that Larry wanted to use there, so the only cost will be his labor.
I built the critters a small fire last night and have kept it going. They are SO happy and I can knit without a lap full of spoiled babies, so picture me happy too :-)
Yesterday, Merry, Kathy and I took a walk from the clinic down to Wheeler and back up hospital hill (some call it cardiac hill). I think I did just fine, wasn't short of breath at all, but noticed some discomfort in my hip so I didn't walk today. I will walk with them again nest week - just need to know I'm not hurting myself with the steep hill climb. It makes me feel so good that I can do that kind of walk at my age :-) The exercise is so good for me! My lawn mowing is keeping me physically fit but I need to exercise more to lose the weight I think I need to dump and walking should help .... I am also doing 25 set-ups each morning.
I will I am going to have broiled salmon and a salad for my dinner. As soon as I am skinny (HAH!) I am going to eat rice at least once a week and have grits for breakfast. I can NOT tell you all how much I miss my grits!!!!
