Windy Day. Arizona Style

Yes the wind has been howling and blowing and moaning and moving everything around. Reminds me of a breezy day in Dakota with NO windbreaks. It let up a bit ago. We have a lot of Red Winged Blackbirds here chowing down at the feeders getting ready to fly north. I heard the Red Winged song a few days ago and if I closed my eyes I could have been at the edge of the cattails by the slough. Wes and I are going to Phoenix/Mesa/Chandler on friday. Saturday we will go to a Swap Meet for HAMs. HamFest. Nothing to do with pork, all to do with amateur radio. Wes has a lot of suff to sell. The plan is to come home with NOTHING. Meanwhile buying a house takes at LOT longer than buying a car. Another learning experience. We know can look very optimistically at getting the keys to 111 W. Calle Manantial Kent Green Valley AZ 85614. on the 17th of March. Sunday the 13th we go to Baseball games in Chandler. The Valley City Vikings, coached by Casey C. Olney will be playing in
Arizona for a week. I am really looking forward to some fun in the sun. I want to get settled in the Green Valley house soon so we can travel north in May. We are selling the motorcoach so we will be traveling without that spacious ride. All is well.

New all over again.

MY Tooth cavern is healing very quickly and I am grateful. My friend is dealingwith/suffering with MURSA infection. It has settled in her spine. Very difficult situation. Our medics do not have a solution. very resistant virus.

Wes and I are SDP (sorting,discarding,packing). This includes giving away when we know of someone who will enjoy or use the item.. I this day and age recycele shops and flea markets are doing "land office" business. Wes is selling his motorcoach too so this involves another small household of kitchen tools, dishes and supplies.
It makes it easier when we have a lot of room to work with. This building is 4 by 80 feet. So we have areas in the garage for the boxes for each category. Wes also makes a trip to the dump ground every couple of days

Today we got a box of fresh garden produce from the organic garden just down the road. Carrots, cabbage, leaf lettuce, squash in the box this week. We get a box each Thursday. We do not have a choice of what is in the box, depends on the garden

Tommorow is my weekly Vitamin B shot and then we will take a load of stuff to the
WHITE ELEPHANT the local thrift store. We may have a game of dominoes on the agenda too..

More dental work

Last Thursday I went to the dentist that I have adopted. Dental work is costly. I get very quiet and introspective and perplexed when I come to the point that I must find a dentist to FIX a problem with my chompers. The past 4 years have been very very costly for me in the dental department. It is a long story. Someday I will write it all out for my own benefit, so I'll know where the money I have been saving for a trip to Australia disappeared to. Today a good Doc pulled a molar out of my lower jawbone. I found out dentists swear. "come on out you little devil" was what he said. So it came out and now I am staying quiet and healing and taking ibuprofen, vicodin and antibiotics. What a combination.
Wes feels sorry for me so I got to watch The Good Wife without recording it tonight. Whoopee, simple pleasures. Strawberry smoothies, yogurt and bananas delivered to the recliner by my sweet caretaker, Wes.
