Summer is upon us

 Tropical system in the Gulf is giving us some much needed rain.  The roses were getting crispy despite my feeble attempt to keep them hydrated. This apartment complex has an irrigation system but I’ve only seen it once or twice, the sprinkler heads are there. About a month ago they said the schedule would be Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  

Jim had dog sitting duty until Friday when Sonsearae and Chris return from their Alaskan cruise. It is an early birthday present for Chris and from his Facebook posts it would appear he’s enjoying every minute! From the pictures it looks like they had overcast skies and some rain. Not ideal for a couple of Floridians!  The above mentioned tropical system may delay their flights home

Jim has progressively gotten worse with his balance (bad knee) so his doctor referred him to neurologist and he ordered some tests and set him up with physical therapy  He gave him a set of exercises to do and they've helped plus he'll start PT next week.  The tests included an MRI and an MRA.  the MRI showed he had a minor stroke, right temporal lobe.  We were not aware of this so it must have been really minor.

Because of his balance issues and I was afraid he'd do a header into the TV we went to Lazy Boy and ordered a lift chair.  It will be delivered this Saturday.  He almost always uses his cane to get around.

Of course I'm still making cards, these are from a long time retired Stampin' Up! Suite.  It's amazing what you can do with scraps!


Besides the wasp nest being built my patio has this little Anole.  I wonder if he eats wasps?

All is right in our world

Hello!

Long time no see a post from me!  All is well and I must admit I get lazier the older I get!

Jim is now riding around in style.  This was his first time on uneven ground and I must say it works pretty good.  He uses it when we're going to be on hard surfaces for any length of time.  Used it quite a bit when we went to Disney World.  Most of the time he uses his cane

Before we went to Disney my Amaryllis pushed out two big blooms but no leaves

The flowers and topiaries at Disney are works of art

Much of Florida has been on fire this past month.  Fortunately nothing close to us.  The drought is still on, so the rain we've had recently is helping

Mothers Day was a treat!  Chris and Sonsearae took us to dinner at Osaka where we enjoyed the hibachi.  Dinner and a show, what more could you need?
