The Week She Is Gone!

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

We got up early and got ready to go for a walk right after paying bills!  I got so mad at the damned computer that I turned off the power and didn’t touch it until late in the evening.  Those GD passwords are enough to make a guy crazy.

We talked to Colleen this morning and poor Calhan was admitted to the hospital with an absyssed tooth.

We walked 1.29 miles this morning, and I ran the GPS to track us.    We did OK for two old geezers, considering there were hills involved.

Coming down the hill, we saw the cactus blooms and decided to clip off a couple and cook them up next time. Cactus flowers, particularly those of edible cactus varieties like prickly pear, have a subtle, slightly sweet flavor often compared to a melon or watermelon. The taste can also be mild, bland, or with a bit of a berry-like taste. The flavor can vary depending on the species and how it’s prepared.

They are almost too pretty to eat!!

After our walk, we worked in the garden for a couple of hours.  There, I met Mr. Lizzard, who was sunbathing on the top of the fence.  We had a charming conversation.

What do you call a lizard that sings?  A reptile dysfunction! 

Just sitting!

This afternoon, we cooked a three-pound corned beef, and Mary made a wonderful salad from the garden!  We watched TV until Robin popped by; she stayed the night with us, and we always enjoyed it!

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
