HEALTH IS WEALTH

-

 Hello dear bloggers. It’s me again. I hope you are well and enjoying at least something that can put a Spring in your step! Here in Eastern Pennsylvania we are blooming with colors. I took a few photos the other day to prove it.



I have even dug myself out of the house to be out and about. Mostly appointments, my health is not the best, heart issues, but I’m far from being incapacitated and life goes on. We all have something to deal with, don’t we. I’m working on my weight issues because I will need knee surgery sooner rather than later. I had knee replacement on the other knee about 5 years ago. Anyway, that’s where I am at.


Oh the beauty of Spring! I drove through our neighborhood the other day and the flowering trees, especially the Japanese Cherrys! Love, love, love. 


Today we are getting together here at the house to acknowledge my oldest grandson’s 19th birthday!  What a privilege to have these grandchildren! This grandchild is super special because he was diagnosed on the autistic scale very early on in his life. His mother (my daughter) has been the best mother he could have and together they have worked through his issues one step at a time without medication. She homeschooled him and he excelled in many of his subjects as well as a technological wizard as far as I am concerned. I go to him with all my techy issues. He is tall, handsome and very lovable. I will try to get a good picture of him today. 



So, we are up early for us today in order to get the house presentable for the birthday/Easter celebration. We have so much cluttering going on here! I am the worst because I have yarn, patterns and books, paperwork from getting the house in Maine on the market, and the list goes on. I find it rather comforting to have my favorite stuff at hand so I don’t have to do steps with my bad knee but it will have to be put away in its own places again. 



Our magnolia trees are beautiful right now. I can’t get over the beauty of what’s outside our windows and it changes daily!❤️


Well, I must get my act together. This house 🏡 isn’t going to clean itself. Can you believe we have 4 levels -that’s a lot of steps!


Take care and have a blessed Easter 💕.

    Happy Blessed Easter: I have many and I mean many friends who homeschool, I think it is an amazing tool to teach at home.

    Love your flowers. We have daffodils, too, and lots of forsythia. Good luck with your (other) knee.

    Belated Easter greetings to you, Susan, and hope that your family gathering and birthday celebration for your grandson were happy times. The blooms you share are lovely and sadly we have not many here in Nashua, NH. And, I know how difficult losing weight can be as my husband and I are both working on that "project" now but thankfully are not facing any surgery.

SUMMER IS BEAUTIFUL

  S ince I last wrote a lot has been happening on my patch. More color, warmer temperatures, house news, and a grandson graduating from high school.  We haven’t seen summer high humidity yet and I am very thankful for that. I get very depressed when it’s beautiful outside but too awful to go out. Heart issues. I am thankful that we have actually had a lovely Spring and early summer.  The house news is that the house in Maine has been sold. In fact, it sold the same day it was listed! The house listing included 12 acres of land and an ocean view but the access we had to the shore was not allowed to be included. If my parents had sold it, it would have passed on to the new owners. I feel bad for the new owners because there’s a no trespassing sign put up by the owners of property that once belonged to my grandmother. A glitch in the acquisition laws. My parents had right of way as did I but when it left the family the right of way clause was withdrawn. So, I had to come down in price. De

HAPPY AUTUMN!

Hello dear friends! For the past several days there’s been a change in temperature and I couldn’t be happier. The windows and doors are open and the air con is off. Yay I say! So, how have you all been? If you are a sun worshiper then you are probably not as happy about the change over from Summer to Autumn or Fall, however you might say it. Being a Mainiac (as in Maine) this time of year brings on a strong desire to visit the beach to surf watch. Especially when a hurricane is approaching. My oh my! I do wish I were in the York, Oqunquit, and Wells, Maine area!  The reality is that I am at home in land locked Pennsylvania. The mountains are about to come alive with beautiful colors. Foliage peeping runs a close second to surf watching.  * There’s a lot on our plate right now. Roger is still doing his part time summer job plus we have a project about to start of having a whole house generator installed. You might not think that is a big deal but it is for us. We don’t have a gas line t
