Sharon , I'd definitely have the nursing home do the rehab. That's what they do around here, and at least you know she'd be more likely to do the required exercises, than if she went straight home, or to your place. Warn her if she doesn't do her exercises, she's less likely to recover fully, so she's gotta do 'em. I am not the least bit worried about her doing the exercises she takes the doctors orders almost too seriously. Last night I found that she has to take a class before her surgery and it looks like I will be going with her. I had offered to go the doctors with her but that promptly vetoed as I might ask a question and that is not allowed. She doesn't like anyone in her business, even though she has no problems being in everyone else's business. I guess as part of the class they want you to bring someone to be a coach etc. My guess it is has more to do with the fact that for the most part they are dealing with an elderly population and they want to make sure that things are properly heard and understood.

I worked in the yard all afternoon and it felt good. The garden is looking really good and I got quite a bit of work done in the berries and even started doing my fall pruning and training of the berry canes. It concerns me that the berries are already dying back, I think we may have an early fall and a hard winter. Even when Mom and I were up at the lake the chipmunks were busy collecting moss and stuff and taking mouth fulls of it down into their burrows. I did go to the farmstand today and picked up some nectarines and a 28lb box of pears to can once they are ripe, hopefully starting next weekend. Oh and a fresh peach milkshake may or may not have been part of the deal.

Hey Gang! Hablo Espanol'? Come on now, it's Nationl Faijita Day! We get a break from the ole burger today! And, for dessert? It'sNational Ice Cream Pie Day! "cool" item, but presents a slight problem for this dweller out in the sticks...you see the closest seller and maker of such pies lies 37 miles away from here. And.....having attempted getting one for my granddaughter's birthday a few weeks ago....I discovered I don't have a cooler big enough to fit the apparatus they come in...…...so.....how do you transport one of these things 37 miles in 95 plus degree heat and arrive home with an "intact" ice-cream pie? (oh, 4 miles of the journey involves a trip through a national monument where you get sent to Leavenworth for exceeding the 30-35mph speed limit)

Been a busy day so far, my serene Sunday peeps! Did a bike ride, then breakfast and then put the mower battery on the charger. I will need to mow the front lawn before the rain comes this afternoon. Did a Walgreen's run, and DH and I got shots -- he got his flu shot and FINALLY the second shingles vaccine for me (the vaccine has been out of stock here for ages!). I will do the flu shot next month, before we go out of town.

Hi Kids! We had a potluck brunch at church today. Plenty of yummy things like egg dishes, but I am seriously craving some fresh fruit about now...

I got out and mowed and edged the front yard -- does not look like rain, but here, you never know. And of course my left arm hurts from the shingles shot. Better that than shingles, though. fresh fruit and juice for busymom (and anyone else with a craving)

Morning all. I am off work today. Have a commitment at church today. Going into my very busy season at work so I will be staying late and or bringing work home and putting in a few hours every weekend. May have to cut down on my visits for awhile.

Good Morning Kids! It's another Monday, so lets get to it! Best wishes with work, ners! Stop in when you have the time. I love potatoes, wyouser, so I'd have trouble picking only one favorite. I'll always like baked potatoes, but you can offer me au gratins, hash browns, or many other types.

You eat all of your chocolate indoors. Good Morning Kids! Yesterday definitely acted like a Monday. The good news is, I finished redoing my resume, and it turned out well, even if it took too much time...

It is supposed to be a very rainy day today which I actually looking forward to, the lawn will be watered, the dust settled etc. I do hope to be mostly to work before it starts though since the roads will be slick at first with the dust and oil.

I mean, really, it is not currently February....can't be associated with Carnival? Today is National Senior Citizen Day.....and they haven't even given us a clue about this either!

I refuse to celebrate this day because according to so many we should be put down to save the planet so I won't let many know that I'm a senior citizen and try to keep a low profile

busymom hope the interview went well. Finally on the downhill side of the week. A very knowledgeable director is now helping us with the big project. While she incredibly knowledgeable she is an absolute force of nature, talks fast, moves quickly, and just wears you out being in the same room with her. Hopefully though we can push through and get this project off our places in the next month or so.

Hi Kids! The job "interview" yesterday ended up being a group interview. This adventure is beginning to remind me of the 80's, when looking for a job mean a LOT of competition. Never a moment's peace, as now my relative is not doing well, & I'm dealing with hospice issues, which I never had to do for Mom or Dad.

Made it to Friday. Another day in the low 80's. We have actually had a very nice summer with very few days into the 90's..
