I'm getting ready to go to the market, and I thought I would start the blog first. I'll begin with a couple of photos - the first one is a recent sunset and I thought the colors were exquisite. The second is my cup of coffee this morning. I use cream in it, then top with whipped cream (0 carbs, 0 sugar), cinnamon and nutmeg. I can't tell you how delicious it is!

I'm back from the quick trip to the Market. It didn't take me long to spend $20, but I have more than enough vegetables to last me a week, plus my grandkids will be glad to know I bought a big bag of tree-ripened California navel oranges. Can't wait to try one myself.
It's another cool, beautiful morning here, with sunlight so bright it's sometimes difficult to see even with sunglasses. I think we will get close to 85 today, and then I will be happy to have temps in the 60's and 70's for at least 2 weeks. I think the extremely hot weather is over with for this year, but you never know. I wish we could get some of the rain that is flooding Texas.
I'd like to start a jigsaw puzzle, but once I start it I'll have to leave it up til I'm finished (1000 pieces). It's no longer easy to do by myself because I'm limited to the time of day the light is just right.
I hope everyone has a good weekend, and if you enjoy Hallowe'en then have a good time. I never did get into it - when I was a kid I don't remember it being a big deal. I guess everyone was too poor to buy elaborate costumes and give out candy. I do recall some women baking cookies and other sweets, and they were safe to eat back then.
- Hunkered Down!
I woke up early in the morning to the sound of rain, and it was blowing hard and coming down fast. I guess it rained for about an hour, and then again later in the morning we had another bout of rain but without the wind. In between the rain I went...
- Ready To Roll
I'm just about ready to go when Mike packs up my car in an organized way. I'll try to leave 1st thing in the morning, but I want to brew some coffee to take along in a thermos, and by then everyone will be getting up. I still hope...
- Blood Pressure - Again
I finally heard from my doctor regarding the blood pressure readings I sent him a couple of weeks ago. By now I don't want to touch any bp medicine with a 10 ft. pole! He says to keep monitoring and we may need to start a low dose of bp...

Saturday morning
