Just a Shout-Out!

I thought I might do a quick update, and find that Blogger is just about as bad as I remember it being.  I just don't know why they changed it, but developers have to develop, so that's what I figure it is.

Rocky and I are fine - my wrist is getting a little better, but slowly, and I doubt it it will ever get back to normal again.

I am still pretty much isolating, and am very fortunate that my daughter, Jeannie, and my son, Steve, are doing the same.  Steve is going to take me to the opthamologist next week and it can't happen soon enough.  My eyesight is deteriorating very rapidly, and I think I may be close to being legally blind.  Of course, that doesn't mean I can no longer see anything, but I don't have good eyesight and worry about falling.  I will look into the implications of the "legally blind status".  I think I am already eligible for a white tipped cane, or something like that, although my beautiful and sturdy hiking staff is just fine with me right now.  I don't like to walk outside because of the cracks in the pavement - this is far worse here than anywhere I've ever lived.  I still walk Rocky in the mornings, though, and people who are out at that time are very considerate about crossing the street to maintain a good distance.  I do the same, and it's nice to be able to wave and shout "hello" to other folks.

I've been spending some time each day trying to cut down and remove some awful blackberry vines on my back fence.  The thorns on that plant are diabolical, so I am going slow and easy, and very very carefully!

I don't see a "Save" option on this version of blogger, so I think I will stop here before I lose everything I've typed so far.  That happens more often than not and it is discouraging to have to go back and start all over.

I hope you are all doing well and staying as protected as possible.  And I hope to be back soon.
