drainy day

I call it a drainy day cause it has been dreary and rainy all day.  A vast difference from the last week when we had record breaking temps in the 80's.

Looks like they have changed things here in bloggerland and I am not sure that I like it but only time will tell,

we took our dog to the vets the other day for his shots.  When we got him out of the car, we noticed blood on the blanket.  Turns out he cut his paw somehow.  We still do not know how.  We ended up having to have minor surgery on his paw and having five stitches put in.  He has it all wrapped and is enjoying being spoiled.  They have him on antibiotics and pain pills.  Good thing I was saving for a rainy day.  Vets are expensive but he is worth it.

Today we decided to go for a ride.  We drove out to some old farms we used to go pick berries on years ago and saw several places where old farmhouses once stood and Irisises and other flowers that I do not know the name of were growing.  We have decided to go out and get some of the plants tomorrow.  I love the old flowers.  

Then we stopped for an ice cream cone.  Yes it was cold and rainy but the ice cream tasted good.

Lovely day

The day has to be one of the happiest I have had in a long time.  My youngest came with the little one and took her sister and I out to where her boyfriend and his family had the pontoon boat on the river. Before going there I gave the little one some books I got via a book club I belong to called Early reading and they were all Dr. Suess or similiar books.

The day at the river was just what I needed. It was so relaxing and lovely there.  All in all it was a wonderful day of family fun and good times.  We don't have enough of them.

I hate asthma, absolutely Hate it.  I was diagnosed with it several years ago and used arbuterol for treatment.  I have not been bothered with it for some time but this summer has wreaked havoc on my lungs.  I hate waking up and not being able to get my breath. It is a real scary feeling.  I got two hours sleep last night and the night before was about the same.

I think I might have told you all about my foster sister.  She had cancer of the bowel and they thought it was under control.  Now she is being tested for bone cancer. I have to call her later today to find out what the tests showed.

In the mean time, I am having eyelid surgery at the end of the month.  My eyelid dropped way down. One of the reason I do not like having my picture taken the last year or so.  They are going to raise it so I can see better.   And my foot might have to be operated on...yah, getting old is a blast. *s*

We got a peck of tomatoes from our garden.  I was able to get a nice big pot of spaghetti sauce yesterday.  I will can it today.  I love the canned sauce much better then the stuff you get in the store.
