Katie, we are getting part of the same storm. It has hit the valley but nothing near us. California is going to get it big time tonight but that is a good thing if it doesn't flood. Glad you are catching up on your sleep and all will fall into place for you soon.

Getting my driver's license renewal was bugging me mentally for weeks. It was such a relief to have it behind me. When that alarm went off at 6am I moaned and groaned but I immediately got up because I did not want to put it off one more day.

Happy birthday Debbie. Miss seeing you posting.

Vern is on his first day of physical therapy at rehab. Yesterday was all evaluation and prep. I am going at 3pm when he should be done and will have dinner with him. I am excited to find out how he did. Rehab Doctor pulled me aside yesterday and told me to stop answering questions for him and stop waiting on him hand and foot. Make him take care of himself. So right after that the rehab doctor and nurse came in and Vern could not answer the majority of their questions and kept looking for me to do so.

Then the test came when he could not reach his lotion and told me he could not reach it. I told him he just needed to move his wheelchair around a little and he could get it. Then with pouting he said, , "Well I don't need it anyway". And I just kept reading the paper. And out of the corner of my eye I could see him moving his wheelchair and finally was able to retrieve it. The doctor called this "tough love".

Susan, so glad things are coming together for you and Bob. And I bet your landlady would let you help a little with the landscape.

Betty I went to the store the other day with my purse but all of my credit cards were on the table. I carry them in my purse with a rubber band around them. When I went to pay, no credit cards. Thank goodness I had a secret stash of cash in my purse. But I too was driving without my license.

Betty that is a pretty glass block. Now what do you do with it? Well Betty I am 72 and will be 73 in a few weeks. Except for my recent back problems, still going strong.

I walked across the street to talk to a neighbor that was outside and he commented on my font landscape. I turned around and was amazed how it was holding it's blooms up high loving the cooler weather. So I came inside, got my camera and went back and took a photo from across the street. They can actually see my landscape better than I can.

I have been chasing a yellow bird with my camera for a few hours but cannot get him to land long enough to get a photo. I did get a good look at him through the binoculars. We get really excited in Las Vegas with yellow birds because the majority of our birds are brown.

Marilyn, hope you are having a chance to sit back an relax.

Karen, so glad you are getting back on your feet.

Well I need to get ready to go see Vern. Big blooms are hardy hibiscus. They will grow in areas that freeze. First two photos are from middle of the street in front of the house. Yes, Betty, unusual landscape for the middle of the desert. Composted black soil and a lot of mulch. Need a lot of mulch when you have little water.
