How lucky to have this kind of weather, 60+ degree day in November. I used it to get out, and after picking up a few things at the local grocery, and take some pictures at the river that runs behind my home.

The local gendarme must have thought I was a teenager, sitting in my car in the park, as he followed me from downtown to the park and didn't leave until he saw me exit my vehicle. j

It was relaxing to be out of the apt., away from the usual sounds and sights, and just watch the birds swooping down under the bridge and then back again to the trees.

It was a typical autumn sight, the reds and browns of the leaves, however since we've had such a warm fall the grass is still green! A very rainy month just before the cool down gave us the green grass and it's an odd sight, out of place with the other colors this time of year.

My medication for the thryoid problem is finally working, thank God! About 5 # have melted off and I have little hunger, food still tastes good, and is appealing, I just don't care to eat.

The residents here either love my new haircut and perm or they don't recognize me! Quite a few were shocked to find out it was me behind the curls! Straight hair and me just don't look good, however that was how they knew me, straight long hair.
It's so nice, not having that long hair blowing up my nostrils, LOL, and slashing my eyeballs everytime the window is open in the car!

Tuesday evening I'm going to join in the fun with the others here and play Bingo since the Lions' club is going to be calling. Been here now since Feb. and haven't managed to attend one of those yet. The regular Bingo nights are much quieter and the payout is less, yet those are the ones I go to, the few times I have.

That silly cat of mine is such an affection hawg! LOL, I love it! She loves to get up on my lap, tuck her head under my chin, ( make that plural) stretch out her left front leg across my shoulder and nuzzle me and then rub noses!
I really would love to get one of those puppies that's been advertised in the local paper, they're only $100.00, a small breed, and yet know I don't have it in me to housebreak a puppy, and all the work involved with a puppy.

I guess it's ok, this cat is enough for me, she's adopted me already and it would be cruel to switch now.....

I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

I'm not pleased that my son is supposed to be connecting with his dad this week, I imagine that's why my son couldn't make it up here to visit today. I want him to have his own life, I'm just concerned that his father with try to somehow get his new car away from him. His father is such a user and abuser, he knows how to manipulate people, has hurt us all so much and so many times...yet our son loves him......as do most children no matter what their age....

All I can hope and pray for is that my son will make the most of the visit and not let his dad railroad him into anything that will change our son's living arrangement or his newly aquired car....it'd be so like his dad to convince him to move away, take control of his funding, and get his car. He did it before.

Say a prayer if you would, he needs that.
And so another day is close to ending....have I made the most of it? What else could I have done?

A bit of color to brighten this dreary, grey clouded sky.
Things are going well, the car needs repair, the cat got sick on the carpet, and the pharmacy forgot to bring my heart meds to me yesterday.
However it's still a glorious day, right?! Right :)

I"ve been busy cleaning, moving furniture, ( even tho that is forbiddened) and making it more user friendly. I've also cleaned out my closet, gave away a lot of clothes, ( some almost new) and am getting ready to hunker down, once again, for winter.
This winter won't see me moving though. So that's a good thing, and should help with the healing process.

I've discovered "Utube" and have put videos up there, for sure they are the work of a novice! Just like many others there! I hope to be able to put music to some I have of my cat playing, the right piece of music set to a cat entrenched in a play moment is more fun to watch.

Is it spring yet? Oh well, that's like "are we there yet?" remember those??
I think that last one is universal and timeless.

Oh Goldie, everywhere I look I see pictures and advertisements with Olde English Bullies.....who woulda thunk it? me enamoured of an English Bulldog..

Well, what else is news? nothing really. Oh, one friend is making me a blue/lavender/magenta afghan. It's almost done, actually it probably is now. Have to go check on it. Some of the ladies in the prayer group were helping my friend put it together and they're so sweet. I talked to the one that was upset cause my son and I were playing pool, that's what the pool table is there for. She knew that when she moved in, so she's going to have to acknowledge that or else be miserable. She's also the one that started the gossip about me. She didn't know that J. was my son. She thought I had a boyfriend and started a rumor....I confronted her on that too.
Nuf said.

I've had visions of vegetables dancing in my head all fall. I'm so looking forward to the next growing season! I think this spring I'll add lettuce to the mix, it's gotten sooooooooooo expensive here. Of course it's atumn so I suppose between that and the ecoli outbreaks, prices go up.
I'm going to plant radishes, green beans, carrots, and tomatoes again, however am going to skip the beets. They didn't turn out so great. Maybe they didn't have long enough in the ground, or else the drought ruined them.

I think onions would be good too. I hope I can get a slightly larger plot of land this coming spring. Those two ladies that shared one let them vegies rot on the ground since it was so hot. They didn't want to out in the heat and water them....time will tell.

Well I need to get back to my re-arranging. I love it when it starts to come together! BTW, I have white scroll work sconces on the bedroom wall with white candles, lace curtains with swags and a scalloped type vance, with a white fur rug. Am thinking of changing out the bedspread. It has a creamy beige background that is too dark, even with the flowers on it. Not sure what would look best with the other things. I'll figure it out I guess.

All flotsam and Jetsom today....and that's ok too.
