Slow Blogger

I can't believe it has been so long since I've visited here to talk with you. I guess there have been so many things happening in my life that I just have been talking in my head instead of talking to you.

Let's see where I left off in this crazy life. There have been major changes in the living arrangements here. My daughter(Renee), her 14 year old son(Josh) and one year old daughter (Bella) have moved out (sort of) and moved in with her boyfriend (they plan to marry). The moving is a slow process that takes time as she finds ways to mesh both households into one. Renee and Jeremy are working very hard to get her website redesigned and up. It is amazing to me how much work it takes to make a site look great and work. Sure looks easy from the front end!

My son, Tommy has been caring for his 3 month old daughter (Haylee), so the mother can get some housing things arranged. Two days ago she found out that her 3 year old has chicken pox! So for now the baby is staying clear of the household. I love having her here, but I get very little done since I just carry her around. She is at the cuddly stage that just doesn't last long enough. Bella ia just over a year old and sooo independent that cuddling is often not on her agenda.

I'm currently reading the book that Gary (my husband) and I sort-of co-wrote. I added recipes and one section, so now I'm correcting, reviewing and adding stuff. I sent a proposal out to an agency but have heard nothing. So it's time to send out some more. It is a fun book.

As for my book I have mixed feelings; maybe I'll self publish and just use as part of programs or maybe I'll send it out to a specialty publisher due to the way I'd like it presented. I just don't know there are so many books on this topic out there now. The last couple I've reviewed have been good.

The weather in Texas is typical Hot and Dry today, tomorrow, yesterday and any other day you chose. That means I must take time out to do some watering of the poor flowers and garden. Keeping clean water for the birds is also part of my chores. The hummingbirds are delighted with fresh nectar and even the squirrels raid the bird feeders just after I fill them. But it is so beautiful here by the pond it's hard to leave for any reason.

My radio show was fun tonight. It was about sexuality and aging. Matt was there as the main host and he had a Masters student as the guest. This was the student's area of study (she was all of 24!). She will have much more insight in another 30 years. Of course, by then there will be a pill to make everyone sexually functional and beautiful. In truth the student did a great job and it was a lot of fun. Her boss even sent her a text message that she was doing a great job. How nice is that!

I'm considering doing a podcast on the health topics I work on. But again there are so many out there by big names like Mayo, John Hopkins etc. Guess I'll continue to investigate the possibilities.

The Armadillo Hunts continue nightly. We are losing! So far one opossum and one raccoon have been caught. One very speedy armadillo was seen but escaped. Nightly we get more holes and dug up garden areas. Life in the country is great fun!

Almost time for the news - we have to watch the weather!
Hot, Hotter, Hottest,
Dry, Dryer, Dryest,
for the next seven days - welcome to Texas Summers!
