Swimming, Spaghetti and Silhouettes...

Good morning, friends!  Hope you are all doing well and are having a wonderful Spring/Summer, so far.  Larry and I are getting over this...whatever you want to call it...sinus, upper respiratory thing.  Larry is having a tougher time of it than I did.  He was still fatigued, and his cough is lingering so, I opened up my trusty JASE bag and started him on an antibiotic.  Two days now and he's feeling better.  Thank God for JASE.  And yes, I could have made him an appointment but he was adamant about staying home!  "No doctors visit...I'm fine!", stubborn horses...butt!   I love him but my LVN license trumps his Master Plumber's license! lol
So... we haven't done much this past week.  Laura (read last post), will be having surgery today on her lower leg then Thursday, to remove the cancer from her forearm and lower leg area.  Melanoma is scary... It's complicated so, we'll just be waiting for the biopsy reports.



This was lunch a few days ago...we love roasted chicken with onions and bell peppers.



Before Larry became ill, he built me this potting station.  I'm trying to think of ways to cover it.  I'm looking at gazebos on Amazon.  Not quite sure what to use.  Any ideas?
I refuse to ask Larry to build something else...he's not well and he's done enough.  The yard is a work in progress...a day at a time.  It'll get there.




He also started cutting out silhouettes that represent all out beloved pets, over the years, then attaching them to our fence!  He would have never done this years ago...but he's 75 now and is realizing that life IS short and we need to make the best of it!  Starting with, "whatever makes you smile!"
The one above is our Buddy...



And this is our pug, Libby.

 He's now working on four more... all gone......Corky, a yorkie, two poodles, Rusty & Danko...and my lovely black cat, Kiki.  
We miss them all, something awful...



Now onto our sweet greatgran, Sloane!  A happy topic! lol
I'd bought her a swimming pool back in early March, just waiting for warm days to hit.  Well, yesterday (I get to keep her on Mondays until she goes to her new daycare sometime in the future?  Who knows...but right now, while she's with us, we are loving every minute!  She loved the pool!  Splashing and playing with her water toys...(they'd all floated to the right side of this photo). 




Her lunch was spaghetti...and she ate almost half of it! lol 
Loved it!



As you can tell!! 



She was ready for her nap after lunch...wore out! lol



I'd made roast, rice and gravy one day...Larry loves it.




Our granddaughter and hubby Everett with baby Sloane...love them so much!



Sloane and Gampa (feeling better after two days on antibiotics) discussing future adventures.  We are just waiting for Mom Samantha to pick her up... :o(



This was two days ago...feeling rough.  I'd just given him the antibiotic.



SO true...




And this is true as well!!  Have you seen some of the girls out there with those loooong lashes???   SO many look ridiculous...sadly.  But I can't say anything...I'd rather be beaten than hurt another's feelings.
They will learn on their own.




Who else has done this?? Lolol
Oh, come on, fess up!

That's about all for me...Maybe next week will be more newsworthy and not involve pills or sickness!  
Have a wonderful and peaceful week and remember to be kind!  You never know what's happening in another's life...
Until next time...
