Love My Sun Roof!

Yesterday and today I've enjoyed the sun roof in my car!  I remember whenever we'd look at cars I'd say to Mike that I wish I could get a sun roof but when we'd find out the cost of adding one after the fact - we'd look at the salesman and say, "we only wanted one", and get another car without a sun roof.  Well, the car I have now came with one and I love it.  Mike didn't "get" why I wanted a sun roof until one day when the weather had been crappy for a while and we had a gorgeous day I popped it - then he "got" it and loved having it.  I think he looked at me and said something like, "why didn't we get a sun roof before", to which I just looked at him.  Even on some winter days that the sun is out and while it's still cold, but it's warmer than it has been, I'll at least use the tilt option to feel some fresh air flow through the car and feel alive.......

I signed paperwork for my individual health and dental plan this morning.  My insurance lady works at 42nd and Grand and I had a little time to kill so I decided I'd drive through the neighborhood south of Grand and look at the houses.  Houses weren't the only thing that I saw at 10:00 a.m. - check out the photos.



There were five deer in all, and two just walked right across the street behind me.  I had to turn around and go back and get these pictures really quick before the deer headed into the backyard of this home.  I don't think the pictures are too bad from my cell phone with me leaning across the inside of the car taking them through the rolled down passenger window :)  As I drove off I realized I had that goofy grin on my face - the one I get when I see deer - and at 10:00 in the morning!

One of the errands I ran was to the place I got my bifocals.  The gal did some adjusting and I think they sit better on my face.  I honestly thought the left lense might have been a little high and I was seeing too much of the reading portion when I was looking through the regular part of the lense - I was right.  I'm still not sure about that middle distance part for computer work - the word trifocal was mentioned.  Not going there.

Popped down to the hospital to see how Lynn was doing and they are hoping to move her to the Rehabilitation floor today!  She's walking on her own, talking really well and her smile is completely back.  Yesterday when I saw her she only had half a smile.  To me, if you didn't know she had had a stroke Tuesday afternoon - and she wasn't in the hospital in a hospital gown - I don't think you'd know she'd barely had the tiniest of movement capability on her left side as of Tuesday night.  God is good.

My oldest - Traci - chewed me out by email today for my supper last night :)  Ok, ok I'll make sure I nuke a healthy choice-type meal tonight.

Tomorrow?  My niece Chrissy is coming up and we are going to scrapbook for part of the day.
