Well I spent Friday catching up on yard work, bill paying for GG and then I did manage a 30 minute workout at the Rec. on the elliptical machine which I desperately needed as I've put on nearly 7 pounds since the Miami trip. It's from eating late at night anywhere from 8 to midnight, oh well. The sleep here has found me moving into the spare room sometime after midnight as Nancy's snoring has gone out of bounds. The ear plugs just don't dampen the sound anymore and I'm checking on some ear phones with a built in sound that is constant. We spoke with our "mountain mom" Helen and her brother Joe is in bad shape in Tennessee with his daughter. His legs have given out on him as well as some of his systems. It doesn't look as if he will be able to live alone again in his beautiful Carolina home.
There has been plenty of rain both in the mountains and finally here in Florida. The grass is the best its ever looked in the back yard and the front yard is greening up as well. The huge oak tree keeps the front yard from ever greening up like the back yard but it has shaped up to look decent. Amy and the kiddos all came for lunch. Ava has grown so and so has Sam. Eliza Faye is speaking with such a vocabulary at three and now she wants to take ballet. All three of the Ross kiddos are so beautiful and we do miss seeing the Triplett kiddos. They are on vacation with their mom and step dad and his three boys. We were hoping to be at the cabin some in July so they could visit but that isn't looking too promising at this time.
Nancy spoke with her mom on the phone yesterday and she is getting somewhat stronger each day but still has a ways to go before any leave from the hospital. We will head back on Monday for who knows how long so as to give Diane and Arianne a break from their daily visits. We have made up our minds we are not spending the whole night anymore as its taking it toll on our well being and psychic. I've been in lots of stress situations over the years but this stress of living and driving in the Miami area is heavy especially with being around Nancy's sister Betsy who is so negative and critical about everything. She is a downer and makes no bones about holding grudges and her opinions are ruthless about other family members. This had made this ordeal which is stressful enough but her attitude destroys any civility, oh well.
Well I'm going to get in some pickle ball at the Rec. this morning for the first time in nearly a month and I'm so looking forward to a good sweat and workout. I did get in a good sweat after supper by mowing and edging the yards as well as whacking the gardens down. I harvested the last of the sweet onions both red and white and got several. I'm still getting some herbs and hot peppers and the carrots need harvesting as well but thats about it for the gardens. It's not looking good for a summer garden at the cabin this year if and when we ever get there. What a change in our lives and plans, oh well, LATER
