It has been a busy week

And not nearly as productive as I had hoped. Wednesday we went to see the plastic surgeon in Ames and I thought I would be getting rid of my unicorn horn but we find that he only does procedures on Fridays so next Friday (May 4th) will be the day I get rid of my bump.

On Thursday we again enjoyed trivia. Though I am getting a feel for the frustration our team endured all winter. The questions are sometimes extremely obscure whereby not only is the answer not in your head the question itself makes no sense at all. We had a couple of questions like that whereby no matter how often the question was repeated we had no idea what answer they were trying to get from us. Despite this grumbling, we once again came in 3rd!

Friday was my appointment with my surgeon from last fall's procedure. We left for Texas last fall before she really wanted me to so this was an important exam. All is well. She still wants me to get yearly exams and I can schedule them any time of year that works for me. No more April appointments!!

I have been getting settled in in increments and I am beginning to get frustrated with myself for not getting a move on. I need to finish at least one thing to boost my self-esteem.
So that being said I think I will go for a walk!

Latest Photo Ops

I finally managed to find the right time to download the pictures I have taken in the past few days. I am pleased with some of them.

The robin photos were taken from where I am sitting as I write this. I have also walked the bike trail (2 miles round trip) a couple of days and I walked across town( 1 mile one way) to the hairdresser on Monday. Some of the pics were taken on the trail. The trail is still in early Spring mode but will be getting prettier with every day now. I haven't been on the bike yet. I tend to take more photos when walking but riding is more fun!








A NATURALLY BIKE-FRIENDLY TOWN

My longtime friend Mickey sent me this wonderful article about our humble hometown. Sometimes those who have stayed in town their entire lives have a bit of a stretch to see Jefferson in the same way as those of us who have wandered and then returned. It is a special treat to see our town through others eyes.

Inch by Inch

Inch by inch we are getting resettled into our summer home. Seems to take longer every year. The good news is the weather is absolutely gorgeous! More later when I become a lady of leisure!
