(BANANA TREE IN BACK OF MY BUILDING)

Aside from ending on a slightly sour note--see my post on Saturday’s call from my vascular surgeon!--August was a good month. I started off with my getting rid of the cast for my knee, retiring the wheelchair and being dismissed from the orthopedic surgeon’s care 

I saw  6 movies, ate out in restaurants, had Allen’s car for 10 days, got some good deals at our Gateway Farmer’s Market, started to make arrangements and getting prices for my 20th Leap Year birthday on Monday, February 29, 2016---get use to hearing about!!--and we dodged the bullet regarding hurricane Erika which is always a good sign.

Below is a slideshow of some of my August days starting with the movies I saw: Ant-Man was a delightful surprise, The Diary of a Teenage Girl probably going to be number 1 on my list of worst films for 2015, The Gift a good old fashioned thriller with a great twist at the end, Ricki & The Flash along with We Are Friends disappointing while Phoenix was forgettable.

Any month I get to eat at The Cheesecake Factory, Sweet Tomatoes and Le Bonne Crepe is a good month while the Peter Pan Diner, Arby’s and IHOP are all reliable places.

As always just walking around Gateway brings many delightful site from animals to boats to flowers plus the seeds I bought from The Dollar Tree (like in # 23) are blooming all over my apartment.

And how can a month end without a selfie????

ENJOY THE AUGUST 2015 SLIDESHOW
