Baaaaaaack from a day trip over to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. Wifey’s birthday today so we made a day out to the beach, had some boardwalk fries, walked the beach. On the way back a stop for some farm-house fresh ice cream.

Stay warm Cathie!
I've been awake all night so gave up and got up at 05.45.
I think the quiet young men next door have moved out and I was worrying about who I could end up with next.
The family before them were druggies and a nightmare (their grown up sons used to pee out of an upstairs window which is near my bedroom window) So hope the next tenants are quiet and OK.

I'm still house hunting but not found anything yet, it just makes me realise that moving is the right thing to do. I couldn't handle being sandwiched between 2 lots of neighbours from hell again.
Maybe you’ll catch a break and the new neighbors will run the existing neighbors out!
How are you feeling Lyn?

Hopefully they'll be OK but could end up with anyone with councils looking for places to house ex cons and people off the streets. When I saw three young lads moving in about 6 years ago I thought I was in for a terrible time of it, but they have been really quiet and respectful so shouldn't stereotype kids as loud party animals. So I may be pleasantly surprised, being on my own I do worry though.
I'm doing OK thanks Heather. My knee seems to have settled down after the surgery and I'm looking a little less like a boxer now the swelling to my eye has gone down. Quite trivial compared to what your daughter's going through.
I look quite scruffy as I haven' t been able to wash my hair so that my face and neck stay dry so its thick with dry shampoo but I can live with that. If all has gone well it will only be for another week and my sister is going to help me wash it in a day or two.
Looks like your party was good fun and there are some great costumes.

Thank Goodness for dry shampoo .. lol
We keep quite a bit of it around here as well:)
It’s good to not see you back around more. In times like these, I think time is our friend.. everything is going to get better!

I sort of had to give up dry shampoo a couple years ago, due to the lizard in my hair... ? Indy convinced me he didn't need any product on his scales.

My son-in-law, Jim, bought a beauty of a bike from his dentist last Friday. Dentist had spent lots o bucks making the bike purdy, but it had been 'non op' or two years because he just didn't have any spare time, so he decided to sell. Jim got the bike for an excellent price. The picture doesn't do it justice:

Jim's new bike.JPG

Jim has a Victory m.c. and he's been riding it to work weekly. He works in the San Francisco Bay Area, about 200 miles from home, and he stays there during the week and comes home at the week end. When he mentioned he planned to ride the new bike to work Sunday night I had a bad feeling about it, but didn't say anything.

So on his way to work from the motel Monday a.m. a car pulled out in front of him. He slammed on the brakes, skidded, and had to lay the bike down. It came to rest on top of him and passers by had to lift it off.

He ended up with a broken humorous and a dented gas tank:

And the crazy guy went on in to work after the E.R. and even finished off working the whole week. He can't button up his trousers, but he can drive the plumbing truck and handle his tools! (but you should see him when he has a cold or flu)

He's fortunate, if that was the extent of his injuries.

I walked 1/20th of a mile yesterday . . . that's one time around the pasture. I'm going for two laps today. I see the knee doctor this Tues. and the wrist dr. this Wed.
Don't overdo it Yvonne, I thought my knee was ready for a walk less than quarter of a mile there and back, and it set me back. The doc said I tried to run before I could walk - no chance of that!!

There's no mistaking a Harley is there? Such a distinctive shape.
One of my old friends had one years ago.
Hope your S-i-L makes a speedy recovery

Yep I know what you mean. We're about to get a new neighbor also. So far they've been pretty good... but you never know.? I was really sorry to see your recent problems with your health. And I've been trying to find a post to say so. I always keep you in my prayers.?
