Official Senior

Receiving my first Social Security check today! We're having a big bonfire tonight to celebrate, all the neighbors and friends will  BBCS (bring bottle, chair, snack).

Kind of cool to have the occasional perk of getting old. My leaky bladder requires incontinence pads, my hip is unreliable and needs a cane at times, deaf in one ear, blind in one eye, blood pressure in the stratosphere, but they pay me now.

Haven't blogged because nothing's new or different. Weather's perfect. Social opportunities to avoid abound. Making art from trash. Going to Tucson every couple of weeks. Ron doesn't drive any more, he's being worked up for dizzy/falling episodes, so I'm the chauffeur.

Some photos

I grew this Amaryllis from a kit I got for Christmas.

Our Valentine's Day Wedding Anniversary. I wore those shoes pictured at the top...


My Sofia with Jack's puppy Lily
Fridays we eat here, Pancho's.

This is Pancho.

Garden totems, glass and china glued together, then add little clay figures I make.

Dragonfly, from turtle bones. Has a real Pelican beak.

I believe I'm emerging from whatever that was, depression? Wanting to go to the beach more, ride the ATV, shop the Segundas. I'm drinking less, but still watch more TV than my grandkids. Oh well, it's better anyway.
