Photographs & Memories....

Sometimes blogging becomes a job...or more life interferes and it seems a job...and I think about just taking a break. A long break. But then I will end up looking up something on my blog, or know it is there if I take the time to look. Or, we will click on the label Lorelei Rose, and I realize it is worth so much. We can go back through some of her photos and the little videos and just have a blast listening and seeing how she has changed.

Same with photographs. I will be looking for a particular photograph...and in looking for it, I stir up so many other memories. There are the pictures of the kids...not so many of those are on my computer...but I have, or rather had albums filled with their photos...Sarah took some of them home with her. And that is okay. At least they are cherished.

I always want to photograph things to leave a record of our time. Of how things are now. For future generations. And always I regret not having photographs of how things used to be...so guess I will continue to blog.

Roger had patches put on this week....they were put on on Monday, and he could not get his back wet for 5 days. The doctor took them off Wednesday, and we went back Friday for a final reading. If you could call it that. He had no reaction to anything. So, right now it is just something he is going to have to live with. The breaking out has not gotten real bad in a while...he will just have patches break out here and there, but not the whole body thing. So that is one thing that has been going on this week.

I made little batches of juice twice this week...today I had 3 quarts and 1 pint. The other day I had 2 quarts and 1 pint. Not much, but at least it is some. Last week I got 3 quarts. Every little bit helps.

We were going to get Lorelei this weekend, but will get her later in the week if all goes well.

Missed us again....

This is not from today. BUT, it got all overcast late this evening...we started watching the radar and thought at first we were going to get rain. WRONG! It slipped south of us....we did not get a drop.

Our bell peppers are not doing any good at all...we are using some of them even though they are not grown. Even though we water them every day, they are trying to shrivel on the plants.

Still hot

Still hot. Still no rain. It was not, I repeat not 100 or above today, but it was 95ºF. I did not water the garden till later in the day. With not having to mow, we have just been leaving our hose stretched out. I tell you, when we first turn the water on after the hose has been laying in the sun, we have to just let the water run out on the ground. It is too hot to hold our hand in, so am sure it would not be good to put on the plants.

We are watching a few of the Olympics...just bits here and there. I am not sure if I have a favorite part...if I do it is either the parallel bars or the uneven parallel bars. And would have loved to try pole vaulting as a kid. The floor exercises absolutely amaze me....they defy the laws of gravity. At least in my opinion.
