Are you all better yet? Or just getting there?


Some are taken care of pretty well and others we are learning to live
with or work around.

Amen! Started becoming decrepit in my mid-fifties, will pass my
mid-seventies the 23rd of this month and am becoming more decrepit. G

My lovely wife's two sisters are here for two weeks. Luckily we get
along quiet well. The three of them are gone most of the day as the
sisters are from Maryland and haven't seen much of Majestic Texas. Off
to the Farmer's Market and several other places this morning. The dog
and I will begin napping soon, something we both enjoy immensely.

I am the head cook here at the Hacienda and the sisters-in-law are
learning to eat Texas grub and they are surprised at how good it is.
Eldest granddaughter is getting married Monday, they're trying to get me
into a suit again. Gave suits up in 2007 but I will put on long pants
and a nice shirt. My normal wear in spring and summer is cotton shorts
and a cotton tee shirt. Winter apparel is long cotton pants, and a long
sleeved tee. I see nothing wrong with that at a wedding but all the hens
and chicks in the flock are pushing me toward a suit. I'm not giving the
girl away, not part of the wedding party, what is wrong with shorts and
a tee in a church?

Garden is still producing, sweet peppers, okra, and eggplant mostly.
About time to start our winter crop, probably toward the end of
September. The lone, nearly two year old pepper plant is still producing
like crazy. We're going to try to keep it going another year.
