Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Ma's Blah

Cooool here---34 degrees. The wind picked up yesterday so time outside was short. The wind is brutal when the temp is down and the ground was also too wet to work in. Read, did the laundry, picked up the house, built a nice fire and began catching up on all my magazine reading. Boy, was that nice.

Going to Mass at the Cathedral today and Keith and Becky's for chili later in the day. Plan on more of the above-kind of same song, 2nd verse---though am glad the magazine pile is dwindling. Looking forward to watching some football and sitting by the fireplace. It is supposed to warm up by mid/end of week---hoping to get the shade garden done.

Hope your weekend is going well---stay healthy, be safe, and stay in touch.

Love,

Mom

Keeping it "reel" --GO KEITH!

This yellow zinnia has been blooming all summer and the nine bark (shrub) is also taking off nicely this summer. (Double click to catch all the details) Water the flowers/shrubs every other day. Still waiting for the water bill to arrive...

My lawn mower is sick. Was beginning to think I was going to need another rotator cuff repair after the numerous attempts to start it. The lawn mower is just a year old. Keith and Becky went out to eat last night, visited with some friends, they had the same problem with their lawn mower and Keith is sure he can fix it---GO KEITH!!

Planning on another busy day. Going to Mass, visiting with Richie and Trae (and see Richie's newly constructed deck), catching the matinee of Music Theater's Kiss Me Kate, and hopefully, if the lawn mower is operational mowing this evening----GO KEITH!!!!

Please stay healthy, be safe, keep in touch, and enjoy your weekend.

Love,

Mom

Life is good

Waking up in the morning, cup of coffee, walking through the yard with the "boys", going to Mass, coming home, walking through the yard with the "boys", eating some breakfast, followed by walking through the yard with the "boys"...Wear a pedometer and it usually registers 2 to 7+ miles/day---need more "boys" here on the 2 mile/day---would venture to guess not enough walking through the yard. Stood in the street to take this pic of the house to share the front yard shrubs---note "boys" at gate. (click pics 2 times for close up view).



Enough of this---hope your day is also good, wish you good health, stay safe, and keep in touch.
Love,
Mom
