Midweek Happenings

Well, I got my flu shot this past Monday, and felt good about that. The weather is getting cooler and colds will abound soon. It has been a bit nippy on our morning walks. I also got an appointment for a mammogram and got that over with. Everything clear, at least according to the technician who preformed it. So that is two down, also tried to get an appointment to have some spots on my hands checked, as well as my annual mole check. Seems my doctor has gone back to school to become a surgeon!! Now have to try a new doctor of dermatology. I liked the other, but no choice here, so got on her list. Filled up and probably won't get in for six weeks. Unless there is a canceled appointment. :-( Oh, well six weeks will past very quickly! Time seems to be flying at my age! We also went to see our friend who is recovering from cancer surgery. He was happy to see us, and was much better than last time we saw him. Hopefully things are looking up, and he will gain strength back to walk again. Well, that is it until the weekend, which is going to be a busy one, more on that later. Antique Rose

Good News

Good news, our friend who had recent cancer surgery is on the mend. The cancer was confined to his bladder and had not spread any further, so now he can recoup and get well. We are so happy for him and his family. Hope to go see him in a couple of days. Today was the first time he had solid food. A good sign that he is feeling better, and probably out of ICU. Also the little great grand son is beginning to eat once again after having his tonsils removed. He had been quite sick, and wasn't wanting any food. Not even the ice cream, etc that he could have had. Hopefully he will now be on the mend also. A cooler Monday, it got down in the 40's last night. Our walk was a crisp one!!! My walking partner, was told by the doctor that she has arthritis in her knee and that is why she has been having some pain, and swelling . So she is checking out herbal remedies. Before she does anything else with medications. The usual at the senior center. Plenty of bread to give out. I made my mammogram appointment, and was surprised to have gotten it this week. I thought I would have to wait for a few weeks. My Dermatologist doctor is back to school to become a surgeon, so now I will have to check out a new one! Poo!!
This will be the third one in two years!! Oh, well the moles have to be checked, plus some places on my hands that need to be looked at. All in all a nice day all around. Hope everyone else had a great day too. Antique Rose

Weekend Happenings.

This was our weekend to go to the valley, ho, ho, ho!! My husband takes care of his Mom's yard work, and we visit and have a nice lunch. My sister in law, always has lunch for us, or takes us to lunch as she appreciates our help. She lives with hubby's Mom. As it turned out the other sister was there too, so we had a nice visit with all. The three gals went to Home Goods, one of our favorite stores, and looked to our hearts content. I found a nice pumpkin(not real), but with a nice turkey carved on it, will look good on the dinning table for decoration for Halloween as well as Thanksgiving. Also Kohl's is nearby and I found some undies there as well. Nice!!! Came back, and had a nice salad/sandwich lunch and some more visiting while the guys watched some football. Our favorite teams won this weekend which made it even nicer. Stopped by Mc D's for a cuppa coffee and a nice apple pie. All in all a nice day. Today, got my haircut, and it looks and feels much better. Probably will be a bit cool tomorrow morning, as it will get down in the 40's tonight, but I will do okay, just add an extra layer of clothing for our morning walk at the lake. It was a nice lazy day, didn't do much, and guess that is the way a weekend should be, right? Anyway, am ready for the new week. Got to make some appointments for mammogram and dermatology. Need to have my moles checked as I usually do annually. So with that thought. Good night. Antique Rose

Pumpkin Time

Red, Red, leaves of Autumn

Walks in the Fall.

Cooler times.

Another cool morning walk!! You can tell autumn has arrived. I had long sleeves and a jacket.:-) It was a nice change, and I am enjoying it. Later, when I came home, I made homemade apple sauce. It smelled soooooo good!!! Also baked some sweet potatoes to go with our left-0ver stew for dinner tonight. The house warmed up a bit from the oven, and that was good, as I am not ready to turn on the pilot lights to the heaters!! Once you do that, the PG&E bills start to rise!! I will wait as long as possible before we do that. Hope all that read this is having a great start to the fall season as well. Ta Ta Antique Rose
