It's Friday and that feels great. I spent an hour practicing piano at church this morning. Our regular pianist is on vacation and I will be playing at church on Sunday morning. I was quite rusty but it's coming back to me.

I have found 4 more of my grandchildren on facebook and am really enjoying keeping in touch with them. It's a great way to let them know I love and miss them. They live on Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, Canada. Hope to get back there again some day.

It's around 2:30 p.m. Had an eye infection this past week. Will not be returning to the eye doctor I saw in Phoenix. They did everything but deal with the problem, including tests that probably weren't necessary. Now I know why Medicare & secondary insurances have high premiums. Will find a local ophthalmologist instead.

Hot - around 111 degrees today. Very dry. Need rain, whatever that is.

It's around 105 degrees and just bright sunshine. I love it. Last night, after I put out bird seed, a lone road runner showed up - a small one. He looked kind of lost. The doves and small desert wrens didn't run him off. The bigger doves can be aggressive. The quail came much later. They are a pain at times.

Middle of August already. Time flies. Probably won't get to Mexico for another 6 weeks or so. Next trip is to Yuma.

Saturday Evening. Still enjoying quilting. I have water aerobics tonight and the water will feel great. Wish I could swim, but maybe I will learn eventually. Enjoyed a trip to Parker this morning - Wal-Mart run. We ate breakfast at Coffee Ern's. Great food. Looking forward to Sunday tomorrow, but also sorry that we will be missing the Knox Brothers Concert in McMinnville, OR.

It's Wednesday and quiet. It's a library day and also a post office run. The 4th part of the canopy has been started. We have set the thermostat for 85 degrees inside the motorhome. Otherwise the power bill climbs to $300 +. It's comfortable. Wouldn't want to do spring cleaning at this temperature.

It's been an interesting day. Mike went to Lake Havasu City and I stayed home and did laundry and kept up with the cat. She was restless today for some reason. Mike drove the motorhome out from under the canopy to make sure he could. It just squeezes by. We won't have to do anything to the canopy to leave for a trip.
