SUNDAY

 

Snap Chat from Stacy...looks like a fun day for the grandchildren...

Looks like someone was having fun doing donuts in front of our subdivision...

I'm having a hard time getting use to a gas stove...I mean your cooking with flames! I burn myself at least once a week. Three time last week. After cooking on a electric stove for over 45 years I'm not sure I will ever get use to gas.  It's been 8 months and I'm still struggling 😖

Gary has mostly cooked our meat outside on his grill...so I'm not a fan of the nasty cleanup frying  indoor cooking presents... all this to say I'm glad we now have a grill.

Tried these plant based noodles for Chris...they come packaged in water...

You dry them in a pan,,,

Then add whatever sauce you like...

Chris liked them
😁

i really did walk to school
in the snow
😚

My favorite month!

We decided we need a small grill for the town house...so the twin picked up and delivered the one we bought from Lowes.

 

Placed it on the back porch...

Gary cooking his first steak on it...

Rare...just the way he likes his beef...

One on our caregivers took this photo from the kitchen...

Wednesday

 Morning city view...

Work at the shop goes on...

Devin is replacing a blower motor...

Snap Chat from Stacy...Addie had a field trip today...

Then came home and ...

right-tea for G
left-hibiscus tea for me

Chris and I walked in a new neighborhood last night.  These homes are right behind his subdivison.  We are enjoying seeing how the other half lives!

 My morning ray of sunshine...

When living in a gated community there is always yard work going on.  The manicured lawns require constant work. This has sent Gary's allergies into overdrive!

The shop has been very busy...now that people are driving more...

We don't normally work on vehicles that look like this...but people love their cars for whatever reason.

Looks like we work on our own lawnmowers...

sometimes we need professional help

 

This is a walking trail near Chris' house...a creek is on the right.

One of his orchids in bloom...

Lunch...

Life in the city

 

66 degrees
maybe Fall is here?

No lake view these days. I've been living in town since early February. Gary joined me August 24th.  We miss the lake but are adjusting to town living (I think). I just wanted to shock everyone with a blog post!

Gary is also adjusting to his new hearing aids. He lost hearing in his right ear. This happened overnight. The doctor's have no explanation or reason for this. Evidently this is a more common problem than people realize.

charging station
nice not to have to deal with 
tiny batteries

the hearing aid is small
you really don't notice it

I do miss our king size bed...but this Queen has the legs and head feature that goes up and down...plus it's a sleep number mattress. 

now if only i can train Gary to stay on his side
😄

For enjoyment I'm back to reading novels...

this is a Reese Witherspoon
book club selection
I find I like most of
her recommendations

This is Gary's current read...

Even thought I have a short commute I'm enjoying audio books...

loved this one
of course
it had a British reader

I'm also loving my new laptop...it has a touch screen...part tablet...part computer...

my little corner

I made air fried chicken wings for Chris...

Chris and I walk daily...found this little spot near his house...almost feels like home!

I still get and love my snap chats from Stacy...
