This and that

We just got back from the nearby Whole Foods. Bought my grown daughter a lovely purple orchid, The kind that has the long curving stem and lots of smallish blooms. Tomorrow is her birthday so we will take it over to her then and wish her a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"

While at Whole Foods we got a quiche for supper. Turkey and cheese. Their quich are good and enough for two meals. That with a mixed salad we created while there sehould make a yummy meal.

Oh Yes. The apple/walnut crumble pie (very small slice of course) will complete the meal with iced tea.

I don't do Whole Foods often but it is a nice treat. Not cooking is always good.

Buddy and I are relaxing on the computer. Buddy sleeping on the twin bed nearby. Mr C is out golfing with son in law and 13 year old grandson. Grandson just got a new set of big guy clubs and he is hitting the ball like a pro. Right down the middle and 200 yards.

BTW grandson had to buy a new golf hat. He is so disgusted with Tiger Woods that he has tossed his TW golf cap way up in the attic.

Have a good weekend.

Relax to this

Party Time

Buddy went to his "first" birthday party today at the dog park in our townhouse community. Mr C took him as I am still recovering from my minor surgery. One of the gals here has a Cavalier spaniel who just turned 4. She has no children, and is about 38 years old and unmarried so this was a fun time for her.

They had doggie birthday cake and treats and about 6 dogs attended with their owners. A tiny terrier tried to beat up on Buddy. Buddy is a lover not a fighter so he hid under Mr C's bench.

A 5 year old little boy got bitten slightlyon the face by another small dog.

Buddy came home after about an hour dragging and whipped.

He had fun but he has decided this is his last birthday party. Too many rowdy dogs.

Buddy is definitely NOT a PARTY ANIMAL...:)

Recovery

My minor surgery went well and I am healing nicely. I get the stitches out on Wednesday. My dermatologist is a wonder. She is Asian, small, gentle, accomplished "seamstress" so I will look none the worse for wear with the 15 stitches I had in my nose and cheek.

I wanted a "new nose" but just got a revised one.

Cheers :)

Today

Here I sit in my guest room which is also my computer room. Buddy has joined me and he is sleeping soundly on one of the twin beds. Dreaming sweet dreams I am sure. He likes to follow me around the house. I enjoy his company too. He is now 7 months old and fast becoming sweeter and well behaved. He almost has the potty training down pat and this is a blessing. My husband and I often wonder that we did with out time and what we talked about before Buddy joined our lives.

Today, here in Atlanta is beautiful and sunny after a cold early morning. We got up very early since I had to visit the dermatoligist for minor surgery on my nose. Basel cell carcinoma in two places. The Mohs surgery took 4 hours as the doctor takes off some and then biopsies it(about 45 minutes) to make sure she got it all. Then she sews and bandages it

I have never had any basel cell before. I am very careful with sunscreen especially on my face and neck. As a teen ager I had x ray for acne so that and sun could have caused this.

Anyway it is fine now except for the healing process.

Moral of this post

Always wear sunscreen and get any weird looking bumps checked out.

Buddy, our Cavalier Spaniel, is a great comfort in times of distress. That is what these dogs were bred for.

I am fine and dandy now and will be better tomorrow when the bandage comes off.

Moral of this story:

Always wear sunscreen and get any strange looking bumps checked out.

FRIENDS

FRIENDS' ANNIVERSARY DINNERS

A group of 40 years old buddies discussed where they should meet for dinner.

Finally it was agreed upon that they should meet at the Ocean View
restaurant because the waitress's there had low cut blouses and were
very young.

10 years later at 50 years of age, the group once again discussed
where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they
should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the food there was
very good and the wine selection was good also.

10 years later at 60 years of age, the group once again discussed
where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they
should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they could eat there
in peace and quiet and the restaurant had a beautiful view of the
ocean.

10 years later, at 70 years of age, the group once again discussed
where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they
should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the restaurant was
wheel chair accessible and they even had an elevator.

10 years later, at 80 years of age, the group once again discussed
where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they
should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they had never been
there before.

Spam

I hate to do this because it means inconvenience for trusted users but this blog is being inundated with so much spam recently that I must enable the anti-spam thingy.

Cheers from me and Buddy.
