It's hard to believe that July is nearly over.
How does time go by so fast?
I think the older we get - the faster time goes.
Tabitha burrowed herself under a cover on our bed the other day.
I guess she was chilly since I had the AC on.
Monday was a good 'at home' day and I did some weed pulling, watering and dead heading my flowers.
Our life has slowed down to a fraction of what we used to do. We visited nursing homes and Reaoma, Lillian, June and others in the past several years, not to mention all the years we had Friday's with Mother.
After Louis Dean was diagnosed with vascular demention and Alzheimer's disease, I scaled our life back to where we spend most of our time together at home or at the ranch.
While we no longer go out to visit and entertain others with Louis Dean playing guitar and singing, we do invite our friends and family to join us here at home.
We have been friends with our neighbors across the street for years and have grown closer as time goes by. We have watched their children grow up and embrace their careers - the son is a pharmacist and the daughter a school counselor. The family is precious to us.
Their home country is Bangladesh and Tarannum brought lunch for us yesterday.
Chicken Biryani!
It was delicious and tasted every bit as good as it smelled!
Tuesday Treasures with Brenda was an excellent day!
I love this camo purse!
Brenda found this Chico dress but the sleeves hit her wrong - so in my basket it went!
Brenda also found this comfy top that I will wear often!
She also found this brand new with tags Chico dress!!
What can I say? Brenda has an eye for quality!
Everyone needs a basic black dress and this another Chico Brenda found in my size.
I love the spring wreath and have packed it away for next year. I will have forgotten it by then and be surprised to see it!
I am changing things out here and there and the two laundry signs replaced two 'I love Lucy' signs which I will give to granddaughter Chandy.
Last night I based in a second painting for my dear friend in Finland, Jutta!
This is the photograph she took.
I have based it in and will be working on it as well as the one I started the other day for Jutta.
I set my alarm for 7:00 this morning.
We had a 9:30 appointment with Louis Dean's primary care doctor.
I made our next appointment in six months for late afternoon.
When the nurse said she had an 8:15 opening, I said, "No, thank you!"
He received a good report!
Weight and vitals have all been consistent.
His A1C for diabetes is staying at 6.1 so he's good there .
His doctor graduated from Abilene Christian University and Louis Dean attended there when it was a high school. He wore a purple shirt in honor of that!
We shopped Aldi after our appointment and then ate a bite of lunch and took naps since we were up so early!
We picked up our second pond liner after we got up from our naps.
Louis Dean loves a good project and this is going to be great!
He wants to make a fish pond.
Maybe one pond for goldfish and the other one for koi.
Louis Dean does well when he has a project.
But some of his projects are a challenge for me.
As in redoing the flooring in his music room.
There are no words to accurately to describe his room.
But it is his happy place and he loves it!
There's never a dull day or even a dull moment with my life with Louis Dean!!

Wonderful news about the appointment! I can't wait to see the finished ponds, and the fish you choose to live there. None of our thrift stores EVER have anything form Chicos!!
Hi Linda. I love your honesty and upbeat attitude. So glad that LD got a good report from the doctor. You always find such great things when you go thrifting. I hope you have a good weekend. See you again soon!
Glad to hear that all went well at LD's appointment.
Brenda sure does have a good eye when it comes to spotting things while thrifting. You two always seem to find some great items.
I’ve been following you for years you are both in my prayers as life gets more challenging blessings to you both
Glad to read about a good dr. visit! I also love how you share your thrifting finds, what fun! I can't wait to see the pond project...God bless both of you! :)
You take such loving care of Louis Dean.
We have a fish pond but only do goldfish. We buy little feeder goldfish and they eventually grow to be as big as Koi fish. Our goldfish can live up to 10 years. We name them and they each have their own personalities. I think LD will truly enjoy watching them. They know my husband so well, they will eat from his hand.
Glad his appointment went well! I bet you are the best dressed lady in TEXAS!
Great health news...can't wait to see the finished pond.
Louis Dean is looking so good and it shows in his great report from the doctor. You do amazingly for him and have created such a cozy and satisfying place for you two. I know he keeps you on your toes and your guardian angels work over time. You are blessed.

so much love...in every word you write. i was trying to figure out the chicken dish from the picture, but i gave up!! you did very well at the thrift store...the clothes brenda found are really nice...and i can't help but think you two must be a hoot in there!! i like being home, especially right now, the days are so hot and even in the pool the heat and sun affect me. ld looks great, he always looks so happy and content, you as well. i glad he had a good checkup!!
Hi Linda. Just a thought. Those ponds likely are too small for koi. You can research it before investing. I'd love to see ALL of your finished ponds in your blog. We had a pond at one time that was approximately 8x8' and we had goldfish. Unfortunately, raccoons ate almost all of the fish so we decided to close the pond.
