Hello this Sept.9th, 2023

 

 

 

 

 Happy, Happy, the weather has cooled off, more time in the garden!!... I really do not do well in heat, anything past 80 is too much for me. So on days like that I am indoors sewing, reading, house cleaning and enjoying my computer... such as it is. It is very old and sometime terribly slow, and I have to admit although I don't like to.. having had Covid and suffered what is now called Brain Fog, which was awful at the time, it now eighty percent improved... and I have to say being a long hauler as we are labeled, I learned so much about my weakness's I am a better person because of it. It reinforced the knowledge that life's up and downs are learning tools to see our weaknesses and pray for strength and understanding.

Here it is August of 2023....

 It has been such a long... time since I have written in this blog of mine, a lot has happen, good and bad.. but I am still here, thanks to the almighty. I have moved to Albany Oregon to be neer my boys...I have two sons and they are a great help to me. I moved from Florence Oregon and the beaches and ocean which I miss very much, especially the National Forests... I miss living so close to nature. I am 84 years old now and one of the Covid Long Haulers... came down with it March of 2019...and at my age I probably will never be free of it. I sometimes feel sorry for myself, however I shouldn't... it is just old age moving in I think sooner then it would have if I hadn't become ill.. so we do the best we can.. right?

Albany is a nice town, city, I think over 50,000 inhabitants, lots of traffic at times and since I became ill I quite driving and sold my car... you know that is a bigger step then I thought it would be, having to rely on others to get to the doctors, dentists etc., or call a cab is hard... losing you independence is really hard. again I didn't think much about it at the time... so I am learning as I go... if anyone reads this and is in the same boat write me, always open for new ideas.

Here is a photo of my little home, I like it a lot...

It is an historic home built 1920, has a full basement really nice. Well I best get to watering my gardens and getting some other things done... hope you visit me again soon.
