Gonna live!

So I went to my doctor yesterday and she tells me I'm healthy as a horse for my age. Take a bone density test and the answer is average, for your age. Problems with blood pressure and cholesterol are due to your age. What's up with that?

I've been doing some genealogy again. I had let it slide for a while but am feeling the need to get the facts I have in order. I'm trying to get a book done for my Dad but somehow there are not enough hours in the day anymore. If you want a copy let me know I'll print out an extra.

Being retired I should not need a calendar but find it is more important than ever. I used to have a mind like a steel trap, but now it is a bit rusted and leaky. I find that if I don't write things down I'm a day late and a dollar short when they are due. That must be due to my age, too!! So as of today my calendar is up to date, all important information such as doctor and dentist appointments are listed, and my grandchildren's birthdays too.

My sister-in-law and I have a date later this month to clean Grandma's house of years of clutter. It must be on my mind because as I've been cleaning my house, I've picked up several things in closets and hidden places and put them in a box. The Shriner's have an annual yard sale in June and we have a good neighbor that belongs to them. I've told him to stop by one day on his way there and I've got several things for them. Twofold purpose....gets them out of my house and helps out the children..it works for me.

Update on Joe Beegle. He is doing great. He thinks he has been let out of prison sine he got that collar off and he is as frisky as a pup. So it looks like they ended up doing a good job even if it took them a while to get it straight. He'll have a new vet when he has to go for shots or whatever, we're done with that place. Cousin Sue's dog had the same operation on his foot and it cost her $150 at the vet in town. It cost us $500 just for the foot, never mind the ear. The price of living on the beach is ridiculous - so I'll drive over the bridge next time.
