| It's nice to be able to go out, but it's also nice not to have to. |

Occasionally, I make a breakfast so good I take a picture of it, and
send it to my family, so they'll know I'm not starving myself to
death.
I also make a green smoothie most mornings. I was stirring it with a
spoon, until I discovered that my glassware is a little too flimsy
for that.
So now I stir it with a whisk.
This time of year is delightful in central Arizona, and my balcony is
a lovely place to just enjoy the day, looking out over the pool.
Lilly has her dog mattress (she prefers to lie on things that are
soft and fuzzy—well, who doesn't?); Ella prefers to lie
on the rug, unless she thinks I might pet her for awhile.
Once in awhile, I get a visit from family and friends. Here's my
grandson, Dominic, relaxing while visiting with his big brother,
Zach.
The daughter, son, and grandson fixed this place up for me while I
was still on the way from Maui. But I've just moved things around a
bit. My computer is connected to the TV, so this way I can do
computer stuff as well as watch shows or listen to music.
Here's Lilly on her most favorite mattress: Mine. (She also sleeps
with me at night. Ella sleeps with me until I fall asleep; then she
quietly moves to her favorite spot, blocking the bedroom door.
Oh, and here's the remaining member of my household. It's actually
just a safety grab handle and my back scrubber, but it looks so much
like a person I've named him Wallace.
More than ever, there are a lot of people who are homeless; many, many more
live in substandard housing. I am incredibly grateful, and fortunate, to be
in a luxury apartment with a pool, air conditioning, good food, and two awesome
doggies to keep me company.
