Wow where did the summer go .... Had a great time with the grandchildren sleeping over almost every Tuesday night and spending the whole day Wednesday with me..... So I needed Thursday to rest..... I just love swimming, well maybe you would call it treading water and floating around the pool...But I do my water exercises most of the time . ... went to my sisters pool as often as I could this summer ... Always great fun there. My husband just cannot understand how somebody can go in a pool every day...... believe me if that pool was in my backyard. I would never get out.. Makes the arthritis feel so much better...
Here is a picture of my sister's pool.... We had so much fun this summer!
Horse, but I still want to put a border around it,. I think it needs that finishing touch..
Judy from the  cinnamon stick  gave  me  a great idea for the color of the border ,she suggested I use the tree trunk color  and that really works for me ...  But of course I only bought enough wool  for the tree so now I must go shopping up to Grant Street  to see if they still have  that color wool ....
 I just cannot believe it is September already that means  I will become officially  a senior citizen . I think 62 is  official .. I have two sisters that share the same birth month 
This is my sister Susan.  Her birthday is September 28th,  I think she will be 66 .
And this is my sister Diane ,her birthday is September 12th  , I think she will be 58 ..  This is the sister that was living with us while going through her divorce. She is now happily  divorced and living in her new home...    And enjoying her newfound freedom.   After 36 years of marriage... I am just thankful for her counselor and her doctor  advising her that he would never change  and she should move on with her life.....
Diane and I did some shopping for her new home at the Cinnamon  Stick, and we found some real  nice treasures , things that she just could not live without,   and of course I could not go home
empty-handed
 some great agate I bought at the cinnamon stick !
   I hope everybody survived  hurricane  Irene ... we were out of electric on Saturday night around 10:30  and not getting get it back till Wednesday morning at 6:30....  my husband finally broke down and let us get generator .....   We are in an area where we do lose the electric quite often, so this is something that I wanted for a long time....., we are usually the last ones to get electric back ...
The creek behind our house was  overflowing  and we really only saw  that ever happened one other time....
It really was not that bad, it was still about 50 feet or more from the house.. I know some people really really had it bad .. and all my prayers good wishes go out to them ... I know   God has everything under control  and I for one  believe that ...
 Well on Wednesday I have to take a little trip to the hospital  for an in and out procedure . I really do not like hospitals but glad they are there when we need them.
Wishing everybody a Healthy  Happy Labor Day!!!
