I'm on Facebook a lot and forget about blogging. I had started this with having in mind sort of a journal. It was around 100 degrees today and is now around 80 degrees at 8:43 p.m. It's amazing.

Not sure what tomorrow will bring. We did get to Blythe, California this morning for fruit. I have pseudo-gout, brought on by having to take Atenolol instead of my better blood pressure medication. I saw a FNP in Quartzsite and she wrote me a prescription for Nadolol and things should improve. My big toe is very sore at this point, and I did too much walking in K-Mart.

Snowbirds are slowly returning and that's great. I love seeing them come back. I'm still feeding 5 or 6 cottontail bunnies (one of them - Desi - of course I named them - eats from a cup and seems fairly tame). It's fun to do.

October 1st 2009 - Wow! Where did September go???? Our fall weather has arrived. 50's at night and 90's in the daytime. Wonderful climate. I love it. Our "snowbirds" are coming back and there will finally be traffic on our streets again. I'm looking forward to seeing friends coming back. We have really missed the Christian friends. Our church has been fairly active through the summer and that's been great. Small congregation but enjoyable. We will go from around 25 people in the congregation to around 200 or more. I love it.

Will plan a couple of trips for later. Probably Thanksgiving and Christmas. Next summer, may try a trip to eastern U.S. and Canada. Depends on finances and God's plans for us.
