we were gifted with a large box of quart
jars and some dozens of smaller jars. some of
them antiques that i'd be hard pressed to part
with.

i'm still waiting for mother nature to get
past frost stage to plant more than the few
experimental seeds that i have plenty of. not
that mid-80s is anything to worry about frosting,
but this is just too early up here to plant and
expect not to have some more snows or frosts.

the flowers have been wonderful so far,
as usual, going way too quickly, crocuses
already mostly done. daffodils and hyacynths
out now with a few of the early tulips.

i don't know if you read the gardening
groups, so here is link to my webpage for
pics.

The heart guy took me off two of my meds and subbed another statin drug
for the one I will no longer take. One of the drugs was Tekturna which
turned out to be hazardous for those of us with Type II diabetes. I will
now be on atorvastatin (generic Lipitor) versus simvastatin. The
atorvastatin is friendly toward kidneys whereas the simvastatin wasn't.
Never hurts to ask your doctors for a drug review every year,
particularly as you get older.

Another beautiful day here but we're getting ready for "Art in the Park"
in Orange, TX, about 35 miles from here, hopefully we will sell a lot of
Miz Anne's paintings so we don't have to pack them. <G>

I think the dawg and I will take a nap.

-2 sounds like a great outcome.

We had a good time at Art in the Park, made a few art sales, met some
new people and ran into a number of folks I had known when I was a kid
growing up there. Two ladies in the next booth had gone to the same
junior high school I had and I actually remembered one of them. Plus a
few old friends from high school came by and visited. We were both very
tired by the time we got home so bedtime came early last night. In
addition Tilly Dawg, our faithful Rat Terrier was hysterically happy to
see us after all that time alone.

Today our daughter and her middle son are coming over from Houston area
to help with some things we senior citizens shouldn't be doing, like
crawling around in the attic and getting on the roof. We only have two
more rooms in this house to rehab and then we will put it on the market.
