I have a picture somewhere on my backup drive that I took in Beverly Hills a year ago while walking down Olympic. Majestic cat for sure.
Some day I might post it, but I am very immobile now due to some long needed surgery the back of my foot.

I am happy to have had my surgery, though with Obamacare I will pay $13,000 with premiums and deductibles, so my insurance pays nothing.
I have no pain, but look up insertional Achilles tendinitis.
Words associated with my surgery by my doctor was described as gruesome, bone saw, and reattachment of Achilles’ tendon after bone removal.

Oh, dear, that sounds dreadful. I hope you’re restored to full mobility soon!

Ohmygosh!

I hope your recovery is swift and non-eventful. Foot surgery is one of the worst to go through. It seems like you have to “stay off your feet” forever. I’ll keep you in my prayers!

While I was sorting through things, I found a thingy I’ll send you for the Cub Scouts to do. I thought it was cute, but have no one to make it for. The grandkids are either too young or too old.

I’m glad I decided to sort through the files today. It may take me a week to get it all done like it should be but it will be worth it.

It won’t be long before I head for bed, but that’s going to take some navigation, today. My living room floor is full of boxes, files, loose papers and loose files, and the whole thing should be taken care of with a front loader.

When Zeke came by earlier, he asked me when I was going to Walmart again and I told him tomorrow at 0500. He likes that I have room in my truck for him and what he buys.

I let Tom take me to Walmart, and I put gas in the car. And bought a bunch of stuff. It’s still raining, but I have to go out later to the Parish Anniversary Dinner-Dance Committee meeting.

Oh, yes! I ran across the photos I took the second (?) time I visited. Frank was a toddler! It was the time you took me to the Charlotte Motor Speedway complex.

All I can say is this: Once I get settled in Utah’s Dixie, I would like to come and visit with you again. I suspect it’s way past time!

And now, I believe it’s time for this one to go to bed. How much fun can I have in one day??? :oO

You will be welcome to visit again. It will be spacious here if some people have moved out!

Hope you have a good night.

Thanks for the good night wishes! I suspect I’ll be unbothered by text messages until at least morning.

And maybe, between now and the time we can make my trip work, some people WILL have moved out! LOL!

Have a good night!

What a pretty little face!

In a few minutes I’ll go take my shower, and then head to Wally’s when Zeke shows up at 0500.

During the night, I forgot about the state my living room was in and was faced with an obstacle course on my way to the kitchen to get my pills. I hope I can put a dent in it all today.

This is very unsettling for me.

Good morning T-C and everyone. May each of us type something God sees today as intelligence from above or His. I will try but am certain I shall fail. May each of all here succeed

Good morning! The rain has stopped here, for now, and I hope to be out the door to exercise with James in less than half an hour.

I’m going to go have my steroid and then wait for Zeke.

Unngh.

When I get back, the sun will be up and my living room will be bright enough to work in.

"May each of us type something God sees today as intelligence from above or His."

I figure the most intelligent thing I can do is not respond to the challenge.

BWAHAHA! Good one, Bob!

One of my nieces had a DNA test done, and because of it, we found out our mother (her grandmother) told the Lie of the Last Century. She told us we were descendants of the Sioux.

Because of that said niece got a job on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation as a dialysis nurse. I hope the Tribe adopts her!

Niece is 93% Irish! She looked for a match and found a gal who is, in actuality, her half-sister! So we’re all happy-family-reunioning, including the mom (NOT on FR) who gave this gal up for adoption so many years ago.

Weird stuff, that DNA.
