Well here it is the end of another Monday and here I am doing what I do best (playing on computer). I don't know what I would do without the internet. It seems to be my only link to the outside world. I have many friends on FB and have a lot of fun playing Farkle and other games with them. I have also discovered skype and find it a wonderful way to visit grandkids and stay in touch with friends and reletives. Papa and I watch a lot of telelvision because he is either in bed or in his wheelchair. One of our favorite channels is the Food channel and we know all the stars and programs and have learned a lot about cooking and food (even though we don't cook too much). We have many wonderful friends who come and visit so I must say that we look forward to all our friends when they come to see us. I'm trying to decide if I should invest in a used van with a wheelchair ramp so that Papa and I can go more places like we used to. I went to the Ability Center because they handle both new and used wheelchair vans and I found a 1999 model with real low milege but it still was 17,500 and they wanted at least 8,000 down because I have had a chapter 13 filed in recent years. Now that I am fully retired and living on a small pension and social socurity my salary per year is about 20,000 less than when I was working fultime, it is hard to get credit. We do have the MTS wheelchair bus available but they only stay in the metropoltan area so some of the places that we want to go are not always in their zone. Still we are very thankful to have the service available. I had a nice spa day with one of my friends (one of the few times that I got to get out for the afternoon. We both had an hour message and then we both had pedicures with reflexology on our feet. I love having my feet rubbed so I was in seventh heaven. After we were done at the spa we stopped into a tattoo parlar that was next store. I had another tattoo done around where I had a butterfly done two years ago. I now have two little flowers on a vine with little green leaves. I love tattoos but this is all for me now.

Checked in on our new MaMa today and she is doing well and will be going home with number three on Wed. Our oldest son and his wife just bought their first home in a very nice area and are finally settleing in. Haven't heard to much from them lately because they are so busy setting up housekeeping. Well I could probably ramble on all day but I don't want to bore everyone to death. Will keep updating when I have more news.
