Friday ...........August 14, 2009

Dave said I was on for the blog, so even though it's past my bedtime, I'll do my best.

I've been busy during these days apart from Dave doing girlfriend visiting. We're so seldom apart, that I figured I'd better take advantage of the time, and it keeps me from getting lonely.

Wednesday I took Granddaughter Jillian to Costco's gourmet restaurant for pizza where we met Jillian and sister-in-law Joni for a shopping spree. How's that for a creative afternoon?

Yesterday I went for a hot air balloon ride with son Jim and Jillian. The weather was great and we got to float over the family farm. They fed us a great breakfast with mimosas afterward. By lunch I was in St. Paul (high school town) having lunch with old high school friends. I spent all afternoon there meeting more friends and having a great time. Needless to say, I was exhausted by bedtime having had such a full day, but it was worth every minute. I told my friends if the cancer doesn't kill me, my bucket list will.

Tonight I had dinner with friends Nancy and Ginnie and daughter Janine. Tomorrow morning I pack up and head to Salem where I meet more friends and stay over with sister Karen.

I'm feeling great other than my concern with my cough. I'll definitely be talking to the doctor about it next visit.

Sorry I'm not as entertaining as Dave, but I did the best I could. I took pictures, but Dave forgot to give me the cord for downloading them onto the computer, so they'll come later.

Love and gratitude......Linda

You go, girl! And pffft on not being as entertaining as Dave! Pul-lease! :-D Glad that your days are filled now with things you want to do, not things you have to do so that you can get to the "want-to-do's", know what I mean?

Holding you in that golden healing light of love and health and peace and pefection and calm and energy.

Linda, as always, glad to hear from you. Sounds like you are having a ball. We are continuing to find joy in getting little chores done around here. Most of our excitement has been spent in car dealerships, looking for a replacement for John's Tahoe.
Keep enjoying the energy you give and receive from your adventures with friends and family.
