  This little machine can’t really put a chill on you!  My dear brother had his knees replaced last year and the year before and lent me this ice machine. I use this most of the day every d...

    I got the quilt finished for Peter and Beth’s grandson.  I have tons of half square triangles in many colors, so creating a baby-size quilt is not terribly time consuming.  This pa...

Fridays are normally spent with my sister.  We usually start off about 10 am and are home by 2pm. Today we went to Giant Eagle and I shopped while riding in the electric cart.  It was kinda...

I just love this song by the Mamas and the Papas – Monday Monday. I like all the songs that the Mamas and the Papas have recorded. It’s been one full week since I fell and broke my knee...

I slept in bed last night in the spare room.  I have fleece sheets on it and I desperately need a pedi.  Sadly, I don’t believe I can bend my knee enough to get a pedi at the salon.  My ...

Here it is, October 6, 2022.  Back in July I went to Dr. Shah because the pain in my knee(s) was restricting my activity.  I have been ignoring and poopooing the issue for years.  X-rays sho...

 Yesterday I had a pickup order from Walmart at 10 am.  I went inside cause I needed a few things I didn’t have on my list.  Hardly any shoppers, so that was super.  After that, I went to M...

 Goodness, the pandemic has made me pretty much of a hermit.  I am quite content to be a homebody, but this weekend we really got out and about.  Sunday we drove to Mt. Vernon, Ohio for a grad...
