I got in to see my doctor, which I greatly prefer to seeing some one who does not know my history.

Hubby's cousin who lives in Michigan lives on a lake. He puts out three hummingbird feeders and they buzz around there all day. It looks like hundreds of them.

I am not feeling at my best today. I think I will go back to bed.
A friend posted elsewhere that he is not sure if taking naps is ruining his sleep, or if poor sleep is causing him to take multiple naps. That is a paraphrase, but...

My great niece is hopping mad at a nurse at her doctor's office.
Last weekend she cut a finger badly, using a cutting device called a mandolin. If you are not familiar with that term it is a device that has wire "strings" to fine...

My summer fitness plan is always to mow at least a half hour daily. Weather has not really permitted it so far. I mowed part of the front just now and am on a break.
