I move at a turtle’s pace but I’m making progress. There are days when I get to accomplish a lot, in my eyes. Then, there are days when I relax and do nothing but spend time with Belle. Now, that dogs are allowed on the beaches again, we try to go there every day the weather cooperates. Our other favorite thing to do in the late afternoon/early evening is to sit on the egg chair on the front porch rocking back and forth. So relaxing!

As I mentioned last week, Georgie visited on Sunday. It was great to see him. We talked for a long time and the day flew by. Beth came for the day. Tim made dinner on the grill. It got very windy so we ate in the screened in room.

I installed some solar motion detectors on the fence in my backyard. They do a good job adding just enough light back there. Eventually, I’ll have an electrician install better ones on the house.

Wednesday, I had breakfast with the realtor who sold my house on Bridge St. Friday, I had breakfast with a lady I met who bought a condo 2 doors down from me. It’s amazing how you develop relationships. You never know!

I’ve been on the antibiotic for a week with no improvement. My finger is still swollen as much as it was and just as painful. I emailed my primary care doctor for his opinion. If I don’t hear from him by Monday, I’ll return to urgent care. I still think there is some kind of splinter in there. I can see a black spot.

The replacement light I ordered for over the kitchen sink arrived. You can imagine my disappointment when I removed it from the box and it was broken, too. When I reached inside the globe to check the glass, I cut 2 fingers on my glass shards. I called the company and they are giving me a refund. Too bad! I really liked the light but I’m not taking anymore chances. It’s happening because of the way they pack it. They need to wrap the hardware in bubble wrap or peanuts not just a thin plastic bag. They have to have other people complaining unless nobody looks inside the globe. Strange! Now, I have to start all over again. I don’t think I will do anything about it until I get back from Florida.

I have scheduled 2 closet designers to come next week to give me some ideas and estimates on the best way to utilize my closet space. I need to take advantage of every inch available.

Happy waffle Day! Love, (Auntie) Beverly
