Life Just Keeps Changing...

If anyone is still out there...

My last post was in February. I was trying to recover from two strokes which happened during an angioplasty. Because that didn't work, I ended up having open heart bypass surgery the first week of March. It's been a long, slow recovery complicated by the arrival of Covid-19 and all the restrictions. I've had to have virtual doctor's appointments. There were two trips to the ER, which is even more scary these days. My husband had to sit out in the car for hours, as only patients were allowed into the hospital, which was hard on both of us. It's been a rough few months.

In the middle of all of this, my husband was trying to complete his retirement paperwork and was able to retire in June. We're definitely not living the retirement we dreamed of, still being confined mostly to home. There is a mask requirement for our county though many are ignoring it so far. Luckily, I'm the kind of person who loves being home. I've watched some great TV series and movies, finished several books listening to many of them on Audible, and worked some more on my family tree. My husband has completed several home and garden projects, and he is just enjoying not having to deliver mail in this hot weather. It's been nice having him home!

I'm still believing for a cure even though things look pretty bleak right now. I hope and pray all of you are healthy and safe. Until next time...

Changes in the Weather...

The robins are back, a hopeful sign that spring is not too far off. There are changes in the weather and changes in my world. I've been absent from here for a while, dealing with some health issues. It looks like those issues are bringing more change to my life. A possible surgery. More on that another time.

I started my little eBay business with my sis, but that is on hold for the moment. I'd really hoped to showcase some our featured treasures here on my blog. Sometimes life hands us a different road map to follow. I'm hoping in a few weeks time to return to my original path.

My other hobbies have been set aside for while, the writing, researching my ancestors, crafting. I just haven't had the focus or the energy. I'm believing that is also going to change once I get my health issues resolved. Updates to follow. Until then, wishing you blessings and joy!

Happy Autumn Days...

I am loving autumn! The colors, the colder weather, some rain and some sunshine. Perfect! 

Not much to share. I missed a memorial service I'd planned on going to. Sadly my memory is not what it once was. Then BSU lost. The Yankees lost. We're not even talking about the Cubs these days. I'll be rooting for the Washington Nationals in the World Series.

Yesterday, I read Clues for Real Life, The Classic Wit & Wisdom of Nancy Drew. It was a gift from my friend, Carol, a while back. I'd read most of it, then it got set aside like many of my books do when my eyes get funky. While going through several stacks of books this week, I rediscovered it. It's geared for young Nancy Drew readers, but is a fun read for those of us who grew up reading Nancy Drew mysteries! It tells how the books began and who wrote them under the name of Carolyn Keene. The book is filled with quizzes, quotes, and the beautiful book cover art. It was a lovely little trip back in time.

The business venture I mentioned a while back fell through. Now I'm working on a joint eBay/Etsy business idea with my sister. I don't know if I have the brains to figure out all the rules, taxes, etc., or the energy to make it happen. We'll see I guess. This afternoon I'll be sorting through possible inventory while listening to a recorded book, Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein. I'm almost halfway through and it'a a great book so far!

That's the latest in my world. I hope all is well with my fellow bloggers!
