REFLECTIONS  

We had a very quick trip to Wisconsin for a baby shower to welcome Bohdy Alan into this world!  Our family is always excited for new life!  He will be my first great grandson, joining two great granddaughters! I am happy whenever any of my family can get together!  Back home, there is lots of spring cleaning to do inside and outside. It is getting difficult for me to do some of it. I am grateful I can still be engaged with life! 

But Wait!!  There's more!  Come back soon to find out what!!

This has been a good 4 GeoGram weeks in the life of Gram G.

March Muddle...

      March 25, I enjoyed a day of spring break!  Right here at home!  Spring has surprised us with a day of beautiful warm dry weather sandwiched between soppy spells.  

Tomorrow afternoon they return. 

(Soppy comes from early 19th century English, meaning soaked with water. Like my little front yard. Must have lived in the PNW)   

I lived the great outdoors for over 2 hours today!

My post cataract life is so bright I need shades!

Perfect opportunity to get ahead of weed harvest.

I had tea time in my pre-cleaned up hobbit garden. 

This is a writing prompt...

Tell me about last night's Hobbit/Gnome party...

Before today, March was a bit subdued.  Recovery from cataract surgery has not been bad, but long and tedious. I was hoping to present the new me with fresh glasses but they haven't arrived yet. 

Driving has been limited so I should have had time at home to get bunches of cleaning done...Not

REFLECTIONS   

I worried there wasn't enough news to create a new post for these past few weeks.  Looks like enough transpired.  In between, I try to walk or exercise everyday to keep muscle strength.  Days seem long when home alone and needing to be filled with constructive activities.  It's not that there isn't lots of potential, it's all in the "doing it".  My motivation levels plummet and self discipline needs disciplining.  Keeping contact with you all connects me with the greater world.  I enjoy that!  Thanks for hanging with me!! April has two fun events (trips?) coming up.  You all come back now, you hear. 

This has been a good 4 GeoGram weeks in the life of Gram G.
