The photo has nothing to do with the discussion. It's an old trough we found on the station when we were looking for wildflowers.
I haven’t posted for a few days as there hasn’t been anything interesting to talk about. There still isn’t really but we did make ‘salami roses’ yesterday to offer to some friends who came to visit Vince. The wife of the couple is Italian and always puts on a great spread for us when we visit so we thought we’d try making salami roses. There are YouTube videos to watch and they’re surprisingly easy to make. I forgot to take a photo of them but they did look fancy. 
Vince continues to do well although some days, strange as it may seem, it’s hard to find time for as much exercising and walking as he should do. We’ve had to go to the hearing aid place. Then we went to our GP (general practitioner/doctor) who said Vince was doing ‘better than most’ at this stage of his recovery from lung surgery. So that was reassuring to hear.
Today, it’s the dentist for me but just a scale and clean so it’s all good.

So thankful to hear he’s doing “better than most.” I’ll keep you both in my prayers! 
Salami roses, huh? More salami than rose, I assume.

I also love salami.

Sounds like a fun activity, making salami roses. Yes, sometimes it feels as if there is not time to be healthy at all.

Either that (not time) or being healthy takes up a heap of time! I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run.

I have never learned to make salami roses, If I served guests I made an antipasto, I am glad Vince is progressing and I hope he recovers completely soon,

@JudyEv I am in Washington state. There are very distinct parts to this state. Further west of me are rain forests and the Pacific ocean. I used to live East in Washington state. That means east of the Cascade mountains. My last home was over there. That part of my state has colder, snower winters. AND is very dry in the summer. Sage brush and nasty weeds that leave needle like burrs on the ground. NO underbrush- I am in the Southwest part of WA state now. Much wetter than the East side Underbrush, too. Lots of conifers and Vine Maple trees. I grew up in the northwest part of WA state- colder but green. I hope this does not confuse you.
