Thanks for the update on your medical checkups and hope your shoulder is not causing too much discomfort, although painful I am sure. Glad there were no physical injuries from the car bumping; things can be easily repaired, but people not so much. It was lovely to see the bluebirds at work on their new family and could sure use some warming temps here in NH where it's a balmy 8 degrees as I post this comment.<br /><br />Thanks, Pam, for the birthday well wishes which were much appreciated!Beatrice P.

I'd much rather stay home and watch the birds on the pond than be out there on any road or parking lot! LOL. God's creation is so much more fun to watch. I hope you have a joyful and peaceful Saturday! I saw the picture of the strawberries on FB, and I am looking for good fresh ones around here. Nothing better than good fresh strawberries from Florida!! Especially in February! Have a blessed day my friend from Florida.Pamela M.

I hear it is not pleasant at all. I am thankful I am not to that point yet, and I pray I never get there. If left untreated, this issue I have could lead to that, so that is why I am trying to get the help I can now. And yes, I do appreciate having a camera that has a good zoom lens. It is an old Kodak camera, but it still works well and I am thankful for it. The only thing is it is slow and I can't keep snapping pictures one after the other very quickly like with a cell phone, so I miss some things. But it is an "open window" into the world around us, and I am very thankful for it. I hope you have a pleasant and beautiful weekend.Pamela M.

That's the most important part. Thank you for the prayers for Rose and her family. That is what is needed most right now. And yes, I am so thankful that God is with me in these medical trials. I am thankful they are minor compared to what they could be and I count my blessings every day. Thank you for being a dear friend! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and that you are staying warm and cozy where you are. It got chilly here again...so I guess old man winter isn't finished yet...Pamela M.

Glad everything is okay in that department. I said a prayer for Rose and her family; it's so hard living far away when a parent is ill and in need of comfort. I do hope she will be able to visit with her dad soon.<br />Hang in there with all the medical stuff. It does seem a given for us as we age, but it so helps to remember that God knows all that we're going through and cares for us. Praying He will see you through all these trials and changes in your life, dear friend.<br />Blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-42149934287977637252023-02-02T17:49:31.669-05:002023-02-02T17:49:31.669-05:00I hope you find some relief for your shoulder.

I hope the physical threapy works good for you. I love PT. Sure it can hurt but its a good hurt. And you have to do it and follow what they say. The 2 PT's I have gone to after knee surgery and my shoulder were the best and I healed quickly. <br /><br />Ouch on the minor parking lot accident - better it be friends than someone who you don't know and only want to bilk you out of cash. <br /><br />I need to get a good camera - I love photography and only use my iPhone. There are so many things I am unable to capture because of that limitation. <br /><br />Take care and God Bless.

Regarding backing up, etc., I try to avoid situations like what happened the other day, but I truly was being careless and did not take extra time to double check. My brain was not in gear when my car was...and I have learned a valuable lesson. Re: Dollar General so close...I just hope people don't start leaving the grocery carts all along the road here and find those yellow plastic bags blowing in the wind everywhere...people can be very "trashy" sometimes, so I pray that doesn't happen here. I like the idea of a golf cart, but I don't really see one in my future, at least not yet. But it would be nice. Have a blessed and wonderful weekend.Pamela M.

I love to see them like that...they must be the migrating ones from up north. These who are here stay around all year long and do not appear to migrate. Oh, I did read where they are on the endangered list and we are not supposed to feed them. So I no longer scatter any seeds for them. They still get some from the overflow of the birdfeeder, but I am trying to abide by the law regarding that, even though I enjoy seeing them come up here to dine.

And yes, it would be nice to have a translator for medical jargon. I think I know enough to understand that I need to let my shoulder heal and it will take time.

My sweet daddy used to say to me, "Oh Pammy, don't get old!", and I would reply, "But Daddy, what's my alternative?" and he'd say, "Oh, I see what you mean." He was so sweet. He lived to be almost 93 and had Parkinson's Disease, but bore it patiently and never complained. I need to take a lesson from him. Thank you for enjoying the nature/wildlife photos. They keep me smiling for sure. Have a blessed rest of your week.Pamela M. Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04060656432106792419noreply@blogger.com
