Hi Everyone!
Hope you are all having a fabulous week-end. I have been lazing around all day, but have to go take a bath now. Going to Orlando to check out a van I may want to buy. It's quite old, but has lots of handicapper equipment in it, and my old van is pretty well dead. I have nothing I can drive independantly right now, and would like to be able to get back on the road. Also money is tight - that's why I'm looking at this old of a vehicle.

Well if nothing else, it will be a nice drive to Orlando.

Get out there and DO SOMETHING FUN Y'ALL!!! Then come back and tell us what you did.

It's Memorial Day week-end ... what are y'all doing to commemorate it?

Smooches,
Keri

Hi Everyone, Happy Saturday to you all.

I decided to nix the van. It was pretty much in good shape, but 21 years old. Good thing I decided against it, because something has come up that will likely take a good chunk of the money I would have used on the van. For now I will just continue as I have been doing. I have a van I can drive once I get in. I just have to have someone else put my scooter on the lift. Cuts the spontaneity out of my movements somewhat, but I've been surviving. Also I live in a little town where I can pretty much do everything on my scooter. The bank and post office are close at hand, away. I actually love running around town on my scooter - I never got to ride a bike when I was a kid, so it fills in that gap. It works out pretty well, I just miss being totally independant. Maybe the universe is teaching me a lesson that it is OK for those who love me to help me. I have always had a hard time taking help from anyone, though I constantly help and offer help to others. Patience grasshopper, patience!

Y'all get out there and cut your grass - it's looking a trifle long. Then grab a cool refreshing drink of your choice and do something fun. I plan to get my hair cut, and then go swimming. It's 88 degrees out right now!

Smooches,

Do I wish we had 88 degree weather hear,it has gone for low to mid 80's to the mid to high 90's nearly over night..yeaterday it was 101 with the heet index..Hot..hot ..hot.
U r lucky to have a palce to swim,the only places I can go is the "Y" and only in the evenings....noooooo not me in a pool of crazy kids.WIsh I could join ahealth club with a pool with out breaking the bank.
Cutting the yard is a snap hear with the John Deer mini tractor I have with bush hogg atatchment...just buzz cut that grass.
I get how u feel about acepting help from ppl,I try to do as much as I can on my own even though at times I could use a hand now and then.

The heat has definetly settled in here. It's been in the high ninetys for about five days now. Not unusual for Florida, but a little earlier than usual.


I am lucky to have a pool. I have a great house in a shitty neighborhood. Well, it's an industrial neighborhood, so the "view" is not great. Great house, though, which is why I stay. Also because it is a racially mixed neighborhood and my racially mixed kids are the norm here. A few years ago I rented this house and bought a house in a beautiful neighborhood in the next town. It was obvious from day one that we were not welcome there. I got a complaint call about my sons at least once a week. They were hanging out by the gazebo at the main drive. They were sitting on a bench down by the lake. They were playing video games in the clubhouse. They actually changed the clubhouse rules to keep them out. They raised the age kids could be alone in there from 14 to 16 and then to 18 when one of the boys turned 16. People were constantly telling me how wonderful my daughter is (she's blond with blue eyes), but the boys were not wanted. After about 18 months, when my tenants moved out. we moved back "to the old neighborhood." Now I have a racialy mixed grandchild, so I guess we'll be staying here as long as any of the kids are at home. It is after all. a great house.

So what have you peeps been up to? Are any of you off work for the summer? Any travel plans in the offing? Any relatives on the way?

Speak to me,
Smooches,
