Happy 4th of July..... It rained quite a bit yesterday but today is breezy with sunshine. It even rained with the Sun shining.

I started this and then it was time to go to the grocery store.....which was very crowded...

1. I have strawberries in the freezer.  Berries my friend Patty and I hand picked on a lovely June day. I thawed some to go into the homemade rhubarb mix for my yogurt and Bran Buds (regular lunch item).  

2. Library was closed- I must have mis-read the news on the Library site- Son says we'll stop in tomorrow if I need books.. We did drop off the books I had finished reading.  I find I am enjoying reading books from the shelves here at home.  

3. Books that are like old friends on the shelf at home... if the type is large enough for my 78 year old EYES.  Some type has so little ink that I cannot read the words.  I tried large print...too large. My brain couldn't track the words.  I was exhausted after one page.  I have stacks of books I can no longer read because of tiny print or faded ink.

4. Son found me a package of Baked Chicken Breasts at the store today that I shredded with a fork.  Added honey and mayo and will be enjoying it after it has gotten cold.  I also got some Romaine Hearts for a Salad......Yogurt with Fruit.... Chicken with Honey and..... Toasted Cheese with Pickles.  My Summer Menu.  The Frozen Yogurt Bars I like- not available....the guy stocking the ice cream bars told me.....when I asked.  Bummer.

5.  The Jeep being hauled away (we donated it) was like the "end" in some way..... perhaps because it was parked out front and we saw it everyday.....now we don't ...see it.  I had a difficult night.  And that was difficult to type. I recall horrifying drives in the Jeep when husband didn't know where he was going......and I had to calmly coach him into getting us turned around and heading the right way in the right lanes etc. And finally not driving at all.  Things I prefer to have forgotten. He was very stubborn.

6. I was going to get some string and try and put the American Flag out front on the porch...I think I used to use hooks but not a clue where they are.  Son brought the flag down from the Attic.

7.  My clothes are getting looser...I don't know how or why....things that never buttoned- do now. I am eating as much and as often as I always did.  Perhaps it's just Old Age. I still look the same.

8. There is a fly in here.... where do they come from??????

9. I am going to change out of this very stiff (go out in public) shirt and put on something soft (and old)..... and watch some Women's Soccer.  And have another decaf coffee.  Perhaps close my eyes and nap...wouldn't that be a gift......to treasure?
