Going's On

Well, the gardener just arrived to do some planting, and the dog is going crazy. I don't get it, since he sees the gardener once a month, and has known him for 3 years. He just likes to protect the house and its precious inhabitants. For my blogger friends in the United Kingdom, who have gorgeous gardens that you care for yourselves, I must admit that everything I have ever planted has died. Howard loves to putter out there and except for monthly trimming of vines and tree,and a little planting by the gardener, he keeps it looking colorful and restful. I love it.
So, except for dinner tonight to celebrate grandson Eli's birthday, I look forward to a visit this weekend to The Apple Store to have them untangle the mess on my computer, iPhone and iPad that occurred as a result of faulty syncing. I probably should go back to my paper agenda!!!!!!

Hot July Day

So, it's the middle of July, and summer is finally here. We are in Lake Arrowhead where the temp is expected to reach the 90s. We came to visit our vacation home, which has been somewhat unused since I broke my leg. It is such a lovely environment and I am reminded each time we come here how much I love it. I had a dream that we decided to retire up here, sold this charming house, and bought a more spacious, air conditioned home near the lake. If there was some thing to do up here that interested me, it would be a good idea. Actually, it's a well operating "small town" where everyone knows each other. We've been here as weekenders for 17 years, and know quite a lot of folks. There are groups for most interests, two supermarkets, drug store, bank,library, four screen (small) movie theater, restaurants, etc. But I'm a city girl, and like to have many choices. Maybe we could live here and have a little condo by the beach In Los Angeles. Wow i'm really a wishful thinker.

Does This Belong In My Blog?

Today I was asked whether I planned to write about some of my life struggles in my blog.
I was stumped.  I don't want to discuss specific friends or family members, but how would I be authentic in my writing if I left all the meaty stuff out?  Another issue is whether it would be boring to others, while cathartic to me.  Who am I writing for, myself or others?
Both, I think.  I love getting comments to my posts, and I fear that my followers would "drop away."

THE VOTES ARE IN: What's private, stays private. Why did I even ponder this?
