How Ya Doing?

  Hello. It's been quite ah life's ride. I am looking to move south. I just about got frost bite. I had to scrape my windows and it was well below zero. My brother is not doing well with his cancer and my good friend is in hospital with her cancer. I broke off my man friend and dang I am doing what I can to stay on the sunnyside of life.

     So ennaway I took myself shopping this morning after early am coffee at McD's. I bought me a top with turquoise in it.  A turquoise ring and earrings. Ok the jewelry is silver but faux stones.
I now feel so much better! LOL! It is really hard to find a sober non smoker man in this area. Oh well.
  I am not renewing the senior center or it's activities. Now you see I am serious of moving.
  My friend Pam likes to go 2nd hand store shopping and she doesn't drive. Sooooo road trip and shopping soon!!
  My pup is gaining weight just like I am lol. It is too cold to go for walks!!
Best go make a dinner as company is coming. Spaghetti and meatballs!!!!!!

     Stay on the sunnyside my friend. Don't take life so serious and hug everyone!

Rainy storms after a beautiful morning.

     Thank you for your comments and viewing my video of Jazz Crawl. I was my worst critic for sure. It has been awhile since I made and edited a video. Nothing in liquid refreshments was served before I got on trolley. I  am sure the folks on the trolley had a brewski or two ;-) I had just finished a few hours of volunteering and tired actually, and it was hot and very humid then the storms hit again and again. If you thought I was drunk by my voice, I do not drink! My muscle disease has slowed my speech and is really evident when I am tired. Awhile back I had said I feared to talk on video because of that. So now you know and heard. The people of this town are friendly and I was told I am a people person. I am? LOL!!  I would love to do a Jay Leno walk and ask people questions h haa.
     I packed my itty bitty car again and moved it to my friends home. We headed out after we unloaded my car and went to the warf by the lake (lake Michigan). We did our morning walk on the boardwalk. It winds around the inlet of the lake into Sheboygan river. The seagulls and ducks and bubbles in water of big fish! I recognized the 'swirls' in the water to know it was big fish in there watching me. After our walk we walked to SCHWARZ'S fish market. 
  We bought a breaded cod sandwich..$4.00 Broccoli salad 1.74, pretzel-pineapple salad 1.74
We drove to the lakeshore by tables by the shore and we sat down to eat and listen to the crashing waves and suddenly one...two..three sea gulls came into view watching us and saying 'mine? mine?
That's a Nemo thingie. Ha haa. We sat and ate till we were too full and it was time to pick up our friend Pat and take her to work. She fell out of her attic in garage and shattered her heel. Ya, makes you cringe with pain hearing that. Now tonight was tornado watch south of us and one warning. We are still getting rain...yah!
     By the way I had no leftovers to take home. So the Schwarz was with me. Oh funny me.
  I'll be packing more tomorrow but by end of week Donna and I are going to the fair in Manitowoc county. There it is one price to get in and that covers all rides etc. Next week is our fair here after that our river cruise.
  Thank you friends for still hangin in there with me. I am so sorry I don't get to visit your blogs as much as I want to. When I settle down in my new home I will be able to read more blogs and yours!
   ow to put together my racing video.

My itty bitty car found a wedge parking spot at the races LOL!!

More at 11 whatever....

 

I am Excited

Downton Abbey...At my age one must ration one's excitement

Yes because if we learned anything from past experience I may change my mind.

From past experience something may arise. Don't celebrate till the last i is dotted.

     The rent went higher because at our age we do forget things and a couple we both forgot.

It comes out the same as the apartment in town. BUT here I will be with a good friend and allowed to have my scrollsaw in basement! We will be going to allot of things and vacations together? YES VACATIONS! Besides we eerily have so many things in common. We each have oatmeal for breakfast with fruit. We both LOVE broasted chicken. We both love stock car races. We both love our bratwurst black. The list will eventually go longer no doubt. I think we drank the same well water growing up HAA! All those things in common even the humor! So it's all good. She has a health issue as I do and we will help each other stay on track with diet etc. 12 blocks to Mc Ducks for coffee and does her crossword puzzle. She walks the one mile or 12 blocks every morning at 5am and says I will be too. Huh? What time? I don't think my clock has that number. Yep she says it won't be long before I leave that cane in the corner to gather dust. So I will get her to lose the weight her doctor says. I will duct tape the fridge at night LOL!!!  She asked me where I always wanted to go on vacation. I still can't answer that. I DO know I want to ride the rails! I mean a train ride anywhere! Also a car ferry ride to Michigan! Both of which hubby wanted to do with me but never did.

  I will leave my shed and lots of tools in basement. I will leave table set and tv and stand too. I'll take my bed and dresser, clothes, hover round and aids and my chair and scrollsaw and toolbox. (big toolbox)

That's all I am taking oh and my dishes and shampooer. She has this little dawg that needs hair cuts. No problem I can do that and save her money. I will have to get used to this little dawg with his toungue hangin down outside his mouth all the time. He is allergic to grass poor thing.

   So now back to basement to condense and select what I will need to take. I wish the move was over. One day attah time. I know.

Stay on the sunnyside!

 

Finding Waldo or things

  I still haven't found the cord for my camera to plug into laptop. It's in my heaped full bedroom somewhere. Or is it? There is a short list of what I can't find. Looking at my bedroom it looks like one of those cluttered pictures of where's Waldo.
 My exciting weekend? I exhausted myself defied the doctors and I hurt terribly. How's that innah nutshell? You see my son managed to pencil me in two hours Saturday and two hours Sunday morning to drive and help me get more stuff from mobilhome. His procrastination had left me no choice but to go where I was told not to and see for myself. I refused to go inside mobil so I must trust him on most everything is out. Two loads I stuffed the van FULL. Yes the shop in the garage. After we got home with van he got out and left and didn't see him till the next mornings. Yes, I had to empty van and haul the stuff into basement. The creepy short stepped from outside basement. It was hot and I took many many breaks. The mobilhome is sold and paid for and I won't get my money untill the stuff is out from park owner. I have no choice but to do it.
Nobody to help me. I feel so pathetic my ( now disowned)family just doesn't care. Today I am resting with two bottles of aspercream. There's one more load to get including the van bench seat. I will have to do it myself as my son is too busy and can't pencil me in this week. There's not much, mostly clean up. The big saws are there for donation to be picked up. Did I mention my son will be moving upstairs? the renter upstairs gave notice. My son says then I can make this apt my own and he won't feel like a teen living at home again. It is hard for both of us. I just don't understand his time issues and priorities. I am more independent now and stronger thank goodness. It's a process I spose and it has been difficult without a network of friends and family which not having that caused me to go over the edge. That and leaving me alone so long. I believe I'm over the hump and better days ahead. I can't wait to use MY dishes lol!!

Have a nice week and have some fun on me. I may not have time.
