Today was better, maybe I am starting to get a handle on things. Not that I don’t expect more teary days but I also expect to get them fewer in a row. I’ll keep everyone up to date on my aunts progress, I hope I’m still writing about my ornery Aunt Pearl kicking cancers butt clear into next year. To tell the truth though, things aren’t looking good. Beside the 4 masses that are in her stomach the oncologist found a spot on her lung and two on her kidney. But she’s a fighter and she’ll fight to live so she can see her family.
Bear and I went to the post and did our grocery shopping. I think our grocery bill is to high for two people but Bear says it’s probably pretty normal. Is about 75 to 100. a week high, low or normal? I wish they printed coupons for things that I buy. I won’t use a coupon unless it’s for something that I planned on buying anyway, I figure you aren’t saving any money at all if it’s not a normal purchase. I know that we used to get generic ice cream when we lived in the states but over here the commissary only carries Breyers, Ben and Jerry and Edie’s. They do that a lot, carry higher priced brand names. Maybe that’s where some of it’s going. Not enough generic items, like paper towels and cleaning supplies and low priced snacks.
We had another gorgeous weather day so it was a treat to be outside even if it was just running errands. After we went to Dexheim for groceries we drove both cars to Maintz and had the old beater car de-registered and junked. YAY! I’m so glad that car is gone. Now we can cancel the insurance on it ….there’s some ice cream money right there. On the way home from dumping the car we stopped at the blumen field and cut some gladiolis. I’m going to take my camera back down tomorrow and take pictures of the field, it was SO beautiful. It will be the first place I ride my new bike….yes, they finally got an old lady bike in just for me. I think I finally got the right person to understand that I, not only don’t need a 21 speed racing bike I don’t even need a 3 speed. The only speed this bike is going to go is whatever my two legs can handle. Which will be on flat ground kind of meandering and in no hurry. I’m rather excited to be getting it because now I can get down to the river much quicker and of course the blumen field as well as the local bakery for fresh rolls.
Tune in tomorrow for pics of the new bike and the gladioli. I know, I’m sure you can hardly wait.

I, for one, can hardly wait! I would like to request a picture of you on the bike, though.
I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better, and I’m keeping you and Aunt Pearl in my prayers. 
When it comes right down to it, I do love long hair. But mine wasn’t getting longer, and it was just always getting pulled back because it wasn’t heavy enough to be straight or short enough to be fixed. I really like it the way it is now. I think you will too when you see it.
it’s not REALLY short, just shorter.
