I am back home and back to work. The farm was great for resting, but unless I win the Lottery, I will probably still be working for a while.
Wiener missed me terribly, but I'm not sure about Bob. He didn't seem to notice I was gone. Oh well.
I had a great time with my friend Barb. She was not feeling well for a few days and fortunately it rained during that time. We went to the pool, the beach, saw "Mama Mia" and shopped. In other words, we did what we wanted to do, which wasn't much. We did find lots of neat restaurants though and three "close friends" came over on Saturday for lunch.
I had a great time and did very little except rest, which is what my doctor ordered. Being back to work has been interesting too. I am also getting a new partner at work. I will miss Nick. He is very interesting and very talented. We'll see.
I am excited about tomorrow. Bob gave me 4 tickets to Discovery Cover at Sea World. Three friends are joining me and I expect to have a great time. It is all day with the dolphins and sting rays. I may even try to bring one home; stuffed of course.

THE FARM
The attendants at "The Farm" have just allowed me some time on the computer. Probably a big mistake on their part, but I thought I would update some info.
The food is not bad - gruel for breakfast; fried gruel for lunch; and mystery meat, white something and gruel w/cinnamon for dinner. Logically I should lose some weight, but you know me, nothing much helps me to lose weight.
Visiting here makes me think that my life is too busy and I really need to readjust my priorities. What that will be, I'm not sure, but I am considering many options.
I have made friends with one of the inmates and she talks to herself too, so we get along fine. The sky is clear and we have pool time 20 minutes every day.
My clothing is a light green pants and top. We have new "suits" to wear everyday and I don't have to do my own laundry, cook or wash dishes. Not bad, huh?
Some sort of "Critters" were outside my bedroom last night around 3:00 am. I'm not sure what they were, but they made all sorts of noises for about an hour. It would be interesting to know, I think.
We have snakes and lizards here. It's quite wooded and a long way from any shopping area, I think. If I have a chance, I would at least like to take pictures of the buildings so that I could include them in my blog. I'm not sure where my cell phone is, or I could take pictures with that.
I have a lot of books with me and am reading and resting when we are not going on our hikes or exercising.
Must go. Bubba is giving me serious looks and I think my time is up. Until next time...

New Adventure
God willing, on Saturday, which happens to be my .. birthday, I will be going to a condo on the beach for 10 days. I have had several drs "advise" me to quit my job because of all the stress. I don't "feel" stressed, except what I put on myself, but this is the alternative to quitting.
Several happy things are happening this week besides the trip - My wonderful friend Barb is coming down on Sunday to spend some time with me at the condo. We both get rejuvanated at the beach and we kind of do our own things when we vacation. We read, swim, walk, shop, eat, at any time we want. Oh yes, and sleep. We used to get together every summer at a beach, but we haven't for a while. I have missed that and I know she has too.
Another happy thing is my sister-in-law and her son, daughter-in-law and their children are visiting for the next 6-8 days. The sad things is I won't be able to spend the time with them. We went to eat last night and we are going on Friday night, but that is about it. I really appreciate my sister-in-law. She was a tremendous help when my husband died. She will never know how much she means to me. She even took his shirts and made a quilt out of them for me. She is a professional quilter and gets hundreds-thousands of dollars for her work. The one she made me was truly a labor of love for me and for her brother.
I will probably "blog" while I am gone but I'm not sure what type of computer set-up is at the condo, but I may not be able to publish it until I return. I will take pictures and make notes. I am very anxious to leave.
