Yesterday was my grandson's birthday party, although he turned 7 last week. It was a gorgeous day, in the high 70's and sunshine. There were lots of kids and fortunately the weather was perfect for them to play outside. There was so much food and lots left over, even after people took bowls and plates of it home. I'm looking forward to leftovers this week - I love them.
Sandy's grandmother made me a round loaf of Portuguese bread and I sliced some for my breakfast this morning. It is slightly sweet, and with butter slathered all over it, just perfect!
Now, after being around so many people for a few days I have the day completely to myself. Just the thing for an introvert - I love being with company and conversation, but treasure getting my energy back with some "alone time".
I notice that the thermometer will rise to about 100 in Sacramento today, and I will really enjoy our high of mid-70's! The weather here has been perfect to me. I thought I had brought a sweater or light jacket, but only an old fleece pullover is all I can find among my clothes. It's hard to pack for a month and get it into one suitcase to be checked. So much easier to drive!

Last night I was reading the book on eliminating grains (carbs) from the diet, and it mentions that withdrawal from carbs and sugars can sometimes be experienced. That is why I have been relatively listless, find it hard to concentrate on anything...
- "down" Time
I've been feeling "down" since my visit with the eye surgeon yesterday. They took many pictures of both eyes, including several of the retinas, and it doesn't look good. He suggested that when I am ready, I can see a retina specialist,...

I've mentioned in numerous previous posts that although I was lucky to be born in the great state of Kentucky, I was mostly raised across the Ohio River in Cincinnati. When I lived there the majority of the population was of German and Irish...

A big part of the weekend has been devoted to kids' soccer, and I'm all soccered out. If I didn't have to watch another practice or game for the next few years I'd be quite happy about it. Two kids equal two practices on Friday...

Go to the RV show, that is. I just got an email from Donald telling me that the show will be at Cal Expo this weekend and admission and parking are free. It would be ok if I had someone to go with, but I'm not the least bit interested in owning...
