Starting To Feel Like Myself.....

It was a truly nice day today.  I am starting to regain some of my stamina and endurance.  Standing up for any length of time has gotten easier.  I did more today while standing than I have done in a while.  Of course, my back hasn't bothered me as much either.  I'm still suffering somewhat from the damage done years ago in an auto accident (not my fault).  But it doesn't matter...you get older and the damage becomes more painful.  Oh well!

The weather wasn't bad although the nights are getting colder.  The peach trees are starting to drop their leaves but the pear trees are still holding on.  I enjoy the cooler nights because I can curl up under a nice warm quilt.  It will be a while before I have to take down the comforters, thank goodness.

I have to admit that I haven't made my pot pie yet although I did start the preparation.  The chicken is cooked and so are almost all the veggies except the carrots.  Those will finish cooking in the pie itself.  The broth is ready for thickening so there will be plenty of sauce.  

The Beast decided he had a taste for tacos so he made the meat up.  I decided to have a taco salad instead with plenty of tortilla chips to scoop it all up.  It was really great and hit the spot.  He found some really good salsa with big cuts of tomato in it.  Yum!

Dennis and Diane dropped by to visit and have some coffee.  I think Dennis is starting to really like both our coffee maker and the coffee.  It's Kauai coffee that my friend, Carol, has sent to us every month.  She's really a sweetie.  I miss her a lot when we don't get a chance to talk online like we normally do.  But, being in a wheelchair like she is, she ends up with some really severe problems at times.  Plus, she works with her son at his flower shop.  I gather she's talented at putting together bouquets and making flower arrangements.  Wish I had that talent.  

Poor Dennis and Diane have had some major problems with building their house.  But, thankfully, they are finally almost ready to move in.  The remaining problems are minor and there is just the granite tile to install around the fireplace wall left.  They are going out to select furniture for the house starting tomorrow.  I know they will be happy to have more room than they have in the RV.  Even with the pullouts, the lack of storage and living space has to be telling after all these years of living in it.  I'm so glad for them.  I am going to go over and see the kitchen tomorrow since I haven't seen it since all the cabinets and counter tops were installed.

I took a nap after dinner and it's the only reason I am up this late.  I'm finally starting to have a more normal sleep pattern.....I hope.  LOL!  Love you all.  Hope you are enjoying life and the weather wherever you are.  ***Hugs***
