These months of confinement have been painful and frustrating, in
big part because I’m separated from Jim. I watch him visiting places I
would have seen with him, all the arts in Santa Fe and Taos. Now, the
West Texas territory of Buddy Holly, Waylon Jennings and other greats we
listen to all the time in the Motor Home.We have never before been apart this
long since we met.
This week I’ve been able to walk beyond my mailbox with minimal pain and get out in the fresh air and see some fall color.
Just looking at the leaves in the sun brings me joy.
This picture was not taken on my walk, but outside the eye doctors office. Maybe not as spectacular as the Eastern fall, but still a lovely color.
I don’t know the name of this fall bloomer, but it grows on a neighbors driveway.
I’m able to resume, (cautiously), my yoga that I’ve been addicted to for 12 years, another Hooray! And, best of all, I have a surgery date of Nov. 14th.
After much stressful delay, I’m finally beginning to see around the corner. I’ll be out of community, but the change was necessary. I must travel to St. Josephs in Stockton, over an hour distance from my home. But, After Thanksgiving, I’ll be able to concentrate on accident related issues. And, now that the election is over, I can quit ranting. Hah! says my son.
One compensation for being home so long, is catching up with old friends and trying new restaurants that opened since the last time I was home. My quilting friend, Kendra and I tried the new Magnolias restaurant in Murphys and were both impressed with the quality of the food. It is strictly lunch, but delish.
