Blood work ( no results or else it was OK forgot to ask ) and visit with oncologist this morning. Ultrasound of thyroid last mouth is fine, probably repeat in a few months time. I've been having some aches and pains in my right hip so I am going to have another bone scan. Otherwise everything continues.

I usually turn on my watering system myself but I opted to have the company come this year as the system is 10 years old and the tech would fix any problems he found while here. Everything was fine but the guy who does my lawn arrived to do the lawn cleanup at the same time as the water guy! Fortunately he went to another job and came back - didnt want to have to dodge the sprinklers.

A lovely day here, supposed to be like this all week. Got some more yard work done, tomorrow my hired garden help ( a fellow hort. society member earning a bit of extra cash) comes and will do the front yard and what ever is left of the back- saves my back.

With some assistance from the artistic eye of a friend ( who is one of our foster moms) I have been rehanging all the pictures. Most have been where they were for almost 20 years so it is interesting to think of changes. Amongst pics unhung we found a little oil in a horrible frame that I have had since the middle '70's.It was painted in the '50's by the SIL of one of my great aunts and I kept it when my aunt died. The SIL used to paint flower pictures which were sold to companies that made note cards. Anyway removed the old frame and took it in to get new on it and it came home looking quite nice. It along with several other small ones will all go on one wall. This evening I am going to work on the grouping on the LR floor!
