I am alive and well

three of my dear friends have read my blog on facebook. they are now nagging me to write more. (one guy, a hunk, but sadly unavailable) said he was tired of hearing about my teeth.
it has been raining here for three days. roads are flooded, fields are under water and my ten-mile creek is climbing it's banks.
i am building an ark in the parking lot behind my house/apartment. i am selling bedrooms for $50,000.00. this price includes bathroom facilities, walks on the deck and talks with noah and family. food is questionable as the rain came before we had a chance to buy up smart one and lean cuisine tv dinners. 
now to my apartment -
the living room is finished except for the area rugs. unfortunately, rick (painter and dear friend) and i do not have the know-how to look at the floor and say it needs this or that. another dear friend, bill, will be here next week and he can say what i need and we will go and buy! then, fran, upstairs neighbor, will take pictures and you all can see the lovely
re-do. 
that's it for now. it may be awhile until i write again but be patient.

glasses and teeth

i went to the dentist and had my teeth cleaned. my dentist was also joan's dentist. i talked about her death and shed some tears. it is hard for me to go back to joan's last months. i still feel such sorrow and loss.
the dentist said my teeth were in excellent condition. since he said that and my doc said i could easily live to be 100 (unless i  get hit by a bus!)  hopefully, i will have all my teeth when they take my pic for the local paper. headline will read, "crazy old broad makes it to 100! Note she has all her teeth".
today i am going to make a big kettle of spinach tortellini  soup without the tortellini. it has chicken garlic sauage, chick peas, garlic, onions, tomatoes, spinach and i will use spatzle instead of torts. i make lots of soup, freeze it in one-serving containers,  pop them into freezer and have easy lunches. keeps me from eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
it's a lovely, sunny day, but cold. had to scrape frost from the window this a.m. better than sister susi in massachusetts - they've had 27" of snow already! YUCK!

good morning all. today the temperature is 40 degrees.  it is overcast and a bit gloomy. i need to do something fun to cheer me up.
i have no idea what i am doing on this thing! want to be creative like fran and her blog but no 
words are there. 
my living room is still incomplete and i'm getting tired of the mess. hope the landing closet doors come soon. must wait until next wednesday for rick to start painting the floors.
enuf. this is just babble. have a delightful day.
