2013 September

I could say we have been busy...but let's just call it what it is, bored and lazy. Bored by days of hours with nothing but t.v, hot weather, and arthritis. Some action over here, going to church at MCC COACHELLA VALLEY. builds our faith and spirits. Trying a bit of gourd work, zentangles, and activities at the park here. Working on MY HERITAGE FAMILY TREE and another free one. Sorting out pictures. Hating Picasa/Google combo. It is terrible to work with. Well, we will keep on, keeping on. I am 71 now and Marty's 75 on her way to 100 . Xoxo

We are still settling into our western home.  This angel caught my eye.  Must be our special angel that God is guiding us by.

A sign of Spring

It soon will be Spring, and thank God for that. Our new yard is offering up daffodils and some purple flowers; We have removed our shaggy front lawn this past week and replaced it with white stone and cacti. We still have a patch of grass in the backyard, for Lacey to enjoy. Right now she drags her paws when I try to walk her a block and a half to the clubhouse lawn. Lots of doggies here.

Did I tell you all that two weeks ago Marty fell and broke her Right foot? Sees the ortho doctor on Wed the 7th, for another foot xray. Praying she doesn't need it pinned.

I can finally say I have stopped coughing after 5 months. Some one told me to get some ecchynesia for my immune system. Now after 3 months I don't know if it was the pills or what? Main thing is it's going away, praise God!

More later and hope you are all fine. Carol

Lacey's snuggles

 

 

The winter nights are cold this year in the desert. In the 40's and 50's. In one pic Lacey is curled up on an air mattress after Superbowl trying to stay warm. The next one she is covered in quilts and blankets on our bed in the morning. Her scratched cornea from grooming got an all clear today from the vet. She is bright eyed and bushy tailed again. She is making friends here in CA. but when I remind her of her Florida friends by name she runs to the window and barks, like they are outside waiting for her. She told me to say WOOF! to Tara, Baby, Lilly, Kayak, and Gidget! Also hi to their parents! Keep safe and warm!

Our Backyard!

 
 
 
 
 
Good Morning Sunshine!
Today is beautiful and so is our backyard after the gardener came and trimmed everything from months of over growth.
We can actually see the individual plants and the sunshining into the yard. It is great to have a patio that is private and nice to sit on. See the lemon tree and ruby red grapefruit tree? Later this week the gardener is coming back to work out in front. Hope your week is great! God bless!

Mountains all around our driveway view

 

 

 

 

The only trouble here in our new home is taking our eyes away from the beautiful San Jacinto Mtn views to get anything done. They look close up, but are quite a few miles away. Since we are on a cul-de-sac we have an open view.
We already are planning our front yard, and back yard. Lacey loves having so much grass handy, and is meeting many new dogs. The club house is a 5 min walk from our house. Marty's at Bingo again tonight. I'm watching House Hunter's on HGTV, what else?
