Sharon is here, just been having a horrific time what\'s the worst sciatica I have ever had. I was doing so well after my back surgery that I got a little cocky. I was laying in bed and then getting out of bed I flipped my inner leg over my other leg to get out of bed. Big time pain and that was five weeks ago and I think it\'s finally started to heal.

Vern is doing well, His weight is down to 130 but he is eating well. He is 5\'10\" so you know at 130 he is skin and bones. He is getting up twice a day from the wheelchair and walking with the walker. That is not being done on his own, that with the encouragement from his wonderful wife. No reason he should be walking and I\'ve given up waiting for him to try, I now have a whip.

We have had a very hot summer, High of 115 currently today\'s high was 107 and we will go down 1° a day until Friday and then go back up 107. I now remember why I left Vegas the first two weeks of August to go to San Diego to the beach. Tracy, My daughter come and her family are leaving Friday for a week at the beach at Newport.
She has brought dinner every night to get out of hospital which is about 41/2 months ago. So I am on my own for dinner for week but I think I can manage, Especially if the sciatic is taking a hike. We shall soon see.

Betty your trip wore me out just reading about it. I could not drive or ride that long. But I\'m sure you had a great time with your friends and that\'s what it\'s all about. You need to hire somebody to mow your lawn, you are too old to be mowing lawn, you should be sitting on your veranda having a lemonade while somebody else mows your lawn.

Susan good luck with your move. Moving date is moving up on you quickly and I am looking forward to you being in your new area and happy.

Marilyn, I am so glad you\'re DS and GDS are back in your lives. Just puts a big smile on my face. Love the picture you posted on Facebook of yourself and you\'re relatives. You looked wonderful. Love your bike and your flowers.

Debbie, the difference in the floors was unbelievable and I am sure you are so happy with the new floors. How are you feeling. Miss seeing your smiling face on here, I do lurk just about every day that was not in the mood to post. Because I was sure you didn\'t want hear me bitch.

Karen your trip sounded wonderful and I can guarantee your granddaughter will treasure that tree skirt for the rest of her life and probably handed down to one of her daughters.

Barbara I am with you on the heat, it just never gives up. Here we have a dry heat the when it gets to be 115 I don\'t care how dry it is it is still hot ask Linda in Texas she knows about heat and that poor girl has the humidity.

Linda I need to send you some of my plants because they are still growing and blooming their heads up. I do use a lot of mulch but like my hearty hibiscus they bloom even if it\'s only for four or five hours, in the bloom wilts. The other day when it was rainy and overcast the hearty hibiscus blooms lasted all day. They have a new flower out now called summer snapdragon by
Proven winners and they have bloomed all summer in the open sun with no shade.

Just wanted you all to know I was still alive and I should be on here more now that we think my sciatic has calmed down. God bless pain pills. I will start weaning down tomorrow to to see if the pain is gone. Wish me luck.

Hugs to you all, sorry I missed someone, Sharon
