2019 Joy Journal

July 27, 2019 Text from Amber... hummingbirds made her think of me.

July 16, 2019 Morgan & Davis stopped by

July 16, 2019 Finally got the WiFi to work. It is really taking the bloom off the rose. But, it is working now. Honestly, it has been a quiet day. Went to see Dr.Webster this morning, and everything went well. He said I don't need to take baby aspirin anymore. New findings. He said, "I've been doing this for 16 years, and telling people over 50 to take an aspirin every day." I said that we must have started to coming to him soon after he started. He's been our doctor for a long time, and it is a comfort that his nurse and MA have been there for a long time, too. 

July 14, 2019 Gentle friendly visit with Donna

July 13, 2019 4I think my birthday messages to Kim really did make her happy. 210 in her voice. Davis in lean towards me. Heelys for me yesterday when working Friday and no it was Friday she was holding it and he leaned towards me when they walk in. Last night Brandon was holding him anything for me again. I thanked Berry for cleaning the kitchen up last night and he said that Morgan did most of it. Britney sent me a text to see if I needed any eyes and I told her I thought we were all right but she and John  Mark brought some ice anyway.

July 11, 2019 I am finally back in my writing shack. Feels so much like home to me. Would feel even better if I wasn't having so much trouble with the WiFi, but I'm going to have to learn how to set it back up. I've already reset the connection. Maybe I can unplug and plug at the house and see if that makes it show up again. Anyway. Barry and I are enjoying time at Firefly. The last couple of nights, we've driven down around 5:00 and had supper in the RV, cleaned up together, walked out on the pier, watched t.v. He is enjoying it more and more --- less and less worried, if still worried at all --- about getting back here at 6:30.  Talked to Annette for a few minutes yesterday and had a nice phone visit with Beverly Tuesday night.  Got a really sweet card from Beverly on Tuesday. Got to phone visit with Angela and Tori Monday night. 

July 7, 2019 I had to think hard this morning, to figure out what day of the week this is, and even then, I wasn't entirely sure. The 4th of July threw me off some, I'm sure, but my confusion is also partly because the days have been so relaxing. It is Sunday morning, and we are not in a hurry. We have tried out the washer and dryer for the first time (in the Firefly RV) this morning, and we lit the stove, and I made breakfast. I fried three pieces of Applewood bacon, and then made three eggs with in pieces of bread with the centers cut out. Barry said it was good, and seemed to really enjoy it. I mentioned that it didn't really take very long, so we could do it on weekday mornings depending on what time we got up and how quickly we needed to be back on the property. He said that --- the hurry on weekday mornings --- is winding down. I said, "This place really has pull doesn't it?" and he said, "It does!"  We came out on the night of the thir...

July 1, 2019 Barry was happy to go and spend the night at Firefly and didn't disagree when I said that I wanted to take two cars, so that I could stay longer. I have the place just about set up now, so I didn't go in with a whole chore list. I actually spent Saturday morning down there getting everything finished up, so Sunday night was just about relaxing. This morning, I got him off to work and then I did my morning chores --- just down there instead of here. I took my 30 minute walk, and then I walked on the beach for a few minutes. I did my Boogie Board writing on the deck. I had to come back and finish up a few things for the Maid Zone to get here today or I would have stayed an hour longer.  I heard from Tori Friday night and from Angela this morning.  Now that we have the TV down there, Barry seems pretty happy.  Faith brought Michael and Daniel to Goodtimes, and Noah came. I watched a movie with Faith, Michael and Daniel, and after they went home Noah an...
