Karen got here at 9:00 AM and we go into my chariot and rode to Huntspatch. We went to the pain clinic to get dad's prescriptions and then to Magabits to get a card that tells dad how to set up his radio, and then to Hobby Lobby. I bought a Christmas stamp, some colored paper, 4 glitter gel pens, some ribbon and a template to make cards and envelopes. The templates will go back for I don't need them. After that we went to the Gardens. The electricity was off so we couldn't pay to get in but we got a map and went in anyway. We paid on the way out. We must have walked 4 miles! The weather was warm and breezy and we saw lots of blooming plants and trees. We walked and walked and walked and walked. We sat down on the benches and ate our sandwiches, talked and rested and then got up and walked again! I did get lots of pictures and we saw a Dogwood tree that was 100 years old. It was blooming and very tall and beautiful!
While I was gone, dad fixed a perch for Gert that is close to the floor of his container. He had rather perch on something than sit flatfooted. I thought I was doing good by trying to get him out, but he tries of fly or something, maybe he's just loosing his balance, but Dr. Jan said to keep him quiet so his leg can heal. Six weeks of this and Gert and I both will be batty!
I getting where I don't want to make cards anymore. I don't think I want to quit but I don't feel very creative. I'm getting down on myself.

About Me
- Granny's Blog
- I'm a graduate of the University of Alabama,class of '66. I majored in music, piano and organ. I taught private piano lessons in Tuscaloosa for a year and then got a teaching job in Key West, FL. There I met my husband, Frank and four months later we were married. Have lived in Athens, AL since 1976. My children grew up in Athens. My husband is bedridden now so I add the title of care taker to the title of homemaker. I never wanted to work outside the home. I enjoyed gardening until I got breast cancer in 2002. I'm not able to do much garden work now, and I miss it. I enjoy going to the Wellness Ctr. to exercise. I enjoy making greeting cards and usually make a card or two each day. I love getting together with my daughters, Trudy and Mary Kate and my grandchildren. My son, Frank, lives in Knoxville,TN, so I don't see him often. He has 4 children. I enjoy being a grandmother.

You just need to get your juices going in another direction ....kinda like when TJ learned all those scrapbook ideas from Rachel. It will come back again!
Make plans tonight to go the pool tomorrow!! You will be glad you did!
Love you!
and this is MK not TJ....I was logged into her account trying to fix her blog problem...no luck!
Well...I was signed in as the walker family and then decided to try the "open ID" option down there and it made me sign in as myself. I was afraid to do that for fear it would erase my comment! glad it didn't:)
love you again!
