Swimming

Today Mary and Bucky brought Tori and Ryan up to play in the pool. I think they had a good time. At first Ryan didn't want to get in the water, he wanted to stay on the ladder. But eventually, he got in and didn't want to leave when it came time for them to go to Mary's grandparent's apartment. I really enjoyed them coming up and look forward to them coming back.

Mary

My friend Mary is back in the hospital with her leg again. I certainly hope they find out what is causing the cellulitis and infection. For anybody who doesn't know Mary, she is a very sweet and loving person and doesn't need all the health problems she is encountering with this. Please join me in wishing her a speedy recovery and good health in the future. Mary, I love you and wish you only the best.

New Profession

I think I have found a new profession. Last week I had to mow with a push mower because the belt on the riding mower broke. I single handedly put a new belt on it. Of course, we won't go into how many bolts I took out and how many carter pins I removed and replaced, which really wasn't necessary. But you learn from your mistakes. I was mowing today and the blades wouldn't engage. I thought the belt had come off. It hadn't. So here I was on the ground looking underneath the mower. I found a metal thing that had another thing sticking out on it. Coming down from the top was another metal thing with a hole in it. Hmmmm...Interesting. I connected the two metal things by sticking the thing sticking out into the hole in the other metal thing. But how would I make it stay?? I found a carter pin in the garage. There was a hole but the pin wouldn't go all the way through. So I put it in as far as I could and wrapped it around using a pair of pliers. IT WORKED!!! Think I'll take up lawn mower repair. Think they'll like my terminology of parts?

My horoscope

I got this horoscope thing as a free gift for my birthday from my birthday calender. I don't usually put much belief in this stuff, but it hit the nail on the head. I think it fits me, what do you think?

Section 1: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others
You are a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and ready to see the other side of an issue. Even if you strongly disagree with someone, you will try to find points of similarity and agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. You often avoid taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. You have a strong desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and express a spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. You very much want to be liked and because of your need for approval and acceptance, you are easily influenced by others' opinions, especially when young. You so much want to please that often you will suppress your own intense or unpleasant feelings in order not to offend others. Sometimes your politeness is interpreted as phoniness or wishy-washiness. Find out more with your full-length reading...

Section 2: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
You are, in many ways, an eternal child. Your mind is bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful, and always eager for new experiences - and your attention span is often quite brief. You grasp ideas quickly and once your initial curiosity has been satisfied, you want to go on to something else. You crave frequent change, variety, meeting new situations and people.
