Would you believe

 Would you believe that this is one single zinnia plant?  I give you my word it is.  Early on something knocked it on it's side...we thought it would die, but it just continued to thrive.  It has been loaded with blooms all fall.    I know this is not a great picture, but you get the idea.

I went to Walmart today...I cannot go a single week without going.  But I am thankful to have one to go to.  In fact, there are two.  One is a lot closer than the one I go to, but it has the city feel to it...everyone in a rush and things torn asunder.  I had much rather drive 8 miles to one where everyone talks to everyone else, and jokes around.

Or say a couple weeks ago, I needed something on the top shelf...I am just a couple or three inches over 5 ft. tall...I don't think I could even touch the top shelf and nothing convenient to climb on.  Besides the fact I don't trust myself doing acrobatics like standing on the bottom shelf as I have done in the past.  So a gentleman probably 15 yrs younget than me was passing...so I said excuse me...would you reach and get this for me?  He was happy to oblige.  (I had looked around for a walmart employee and none were to be found.)

Then, today I was again  reaching on a shelf that I could just barely reach and stuggling to get what I wanted...someone just came and got it for me...I did not even see her coming...but I was thankful for her help.

Other than that and taking care of Copper and Roger...I had did cooking and dishes...the usual things. Took garbage out and carried necessary items to our room.  I still need to take a big box out to the garage but it will probably be tomorrow before I get it out.  And I need to go upstairs and feed kitty.  She is on my legs as I type this and I feel pinned down.
