The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Tuesday Gratefuls Posted by Delta on 7/8/2025, 11:59 am What did you wake up grateful for today?

my gratitfuls.... Posted by Beverly on 7/8/2025, 1:09 pm, in reply to "Tuesday Gratefuls" The past few day the mornings have been cool. In the 60's ... then to 70's or low 80's. I LOVE cool mornings! I am grateful for my coffee cups, really. They each tell a bit of a story. I've been keeping up with my exercises. Murray was able to trim back the forsythia. He does pretty well.. but, has trouble bending down because it bothers his lungs. We were able to pick 2 sweet banana peppers from the plant this week. Murray cooks them with onions and eggs. YUM You wonderful ladies!!!! Glad Paula can check in.

So nice... Posted by Joan on 7/9/2025, 6:50 am, in reply to "my gratitfuls...." to have cool mornings! In the 60s sounds heavenly! I have a coffee cup collection, too, with each having a story behind it. Since some of my cups come from former students, they carry fond memories! Happy to read you are able to keep up with your exercises!

I love cool mornings to sit out and have Posted by Delta on 7/8/2025, 10:40 pm, in reply to "my gratitfuls...." coffee. We grow banana peppers to cook on the grill. We just love it. Sometimes we can it or freeze it also so that we can have it in winter. I am so glad that you have been able to keep up with your eercises. I hope that it really helps you.

My Tuesday Gratefuls Posted by Delta on 7/8/2025, 12:14 pm, in reply to "Tuesday Gratefuls" Waking up on not only on this side of the dirt today but waking up feeling like doing things. The heat abated somewhat before dark yesterday. We were able to go out and hang some string lights on the deck. It only felt like 96 out there. A big difference. This morning it was even cool enough to sit outside and listen to the birds with my coffee. Only 77F but felt like 91F. Still lots of humidity. Joan's good outcome with cataract surgery. I have only heard bad outcomes from some people close to me. My husband got sick at the lake and it got me to thinking what I would do if he got sick and had to be hospitalized. It is about 45 miles to the nearest hospital and no one is here to drive me there or anywhere else. The lake is only about 6 miles from the nearest town but that might as well be 40 if I am not driving. No taxis or Uber here. I need to get surgery and get back to driving. Paula can check in and keep us updated. I know it is bad for her and she can't see it but that is a big positive on all the meds that she is on and with the infection.

It's a daily blessing for me! Posted by Joan on 7/9/2025, 6:57 am, in reply to "My Tuesday Gratefuls" I'm talking about the cataract surgery! I hope it works as well for you. As I've said a thousands time before, I don't think I'll ever get over it. When I was younger, kids used to make fun of the "coke bottles" I wore because the lens were so thick. Even as an adult, other adults would comment about my glasses. Oh yes, cataract surgery was life changing for me well beyond the whole wearing glasses part!

Delta Posted by Cindyh on 7/9/2025, 1:20 am, in reply to "My Tuesday Gratefuls" That’s scary. Is he ok. I didn’t realize it was that remote. 45 minutes from a hospital. John and I talked last year about selling either the cabin or the house. Which one. Just talking and he said we can’t move to the cabin because it’s at the back of the lake community ( they don’t plow the snow and ice where we are , all the way there. About 3/4) then when you get to the road it’s about 12 miles at least to the drs offices and hospital, Walmart , grocery area. If we got to where we couldn’t drive these things are in one county and the cabin is in another so that makes transit a no go so we couldn’t do it. Isn’t it something unfortunately what all we have to think about as we age. I see what you mean. Is your husband OK

OOPS wrong place, I'll repost below. Posted by Beverly on 7/8/2025, 1:08 pm, in reply to "My gratifuls. wink"

Delta Posted by Beverly on 7/8/2025, 12:54 pm, in reply to "My Tuesday Gratefuls" My son has string outside lights too. We all like them so much. I am glad it 'cooled down' to feeling like 95. I love cool mornings in the summer when it really feels like 77. Is there any kind of ambulance service availble the lake?

Beverly Posted by Delta on 7/8/2025, 10:37 pm, in reply to "Delta" This year we have had so much rain and rain neaerby that I don't think the humidity has been under85% buy one day since it heated up. We went from 20 degrees below normal to suddenly 20 degrees above with high humidity that makes it feel like 15-20 degrees higher than it is with no in between. It just takes some getting used to. Yes, there is an ambulance service at the lake at least I have seen them on the other side of the lake so I assume that we have service, too. There are two different towns on the lake and neither of them have a hospital. They do have a doctor's clinic that is a branch of the hospital I was talking about being 45 miles away. My husband went to it when he was sick and got good service. Not feeling comfortable driving at the lake really scares me lately. Until the last two times there were any number of kids and driving grandkids there but when it was just the two of us and he got sick it was a wake up call.
