Have been pretty ill the past week. Started feeling more like myself yesterday. Have a protein and iron deficiency and feel pretty week. Also had another flare up with the UTI. Doctor renewed the medicine and I think I have about whipped it.

Haven't done much except rest for about seven days, but am trying to get my strength back now. Doctor said drink Insure - but that tastes like milk to me and I can't keep it down.

Yesterday, I started designing a new turquoise and silver necklace and it is pretty fascinating. I love the two together. Hope I can sell some soon, as I have a lot of jewelry just sitting around. Have a couple of thousand dollars worth. Should go to a church sale or something.

My neighbor finished the fence between us and I will miss visiting with him. He is a cute younger man that knows just how to stroke "old ladies". Ha!! He is building a pool and making his back yard look like a Mexican beach. I told him I needed a peep-hole so I could keep up with his progress.

My whole family was out of town last week - two were in New Mexico, a couple are in Aruba, and some in Dallas. Thank goodness, no problems arose. Even the two friends I would have called were in Pittsburgh.

Won't be soon until I will have a new great grandson. He should make his appearance soon. He will be half Samoan, so I can't imagine what he will look like yet - just hope his face isn't tattooed. Ha!!

All you friends have a good Memorial Day week-end.
