Challenges and Changes

It's wonderful to be back at the blog posting.  Life has been very busy since September 3 when I broke my arm.  I have been  fortunate to have a faithful, long-term caretaker in my friend, Frank.  The one remaining impossibility is getting both hands at the back of my head in order to put my hair up.  He's become expert at installing the band to hold it in place! ……. After seven weeks of going without (a nurse told me I'd have to), finally this morning it hit me there was another way to put on a bra - I snapped it in front, turned it around, slipped my hands and arms down into the straps and then pulled them up - all by myself!  I had never even thought of trying that before.  Always I've been flexible and reached behind to hook it together.  Amazing how long it took me to even think of trying that!  Now a goal is to get back to my former way!  Not this month, I don't think.  But, we'll see.  …….During these past weeks I've been dividing my weeks with days here and days at Frank's home near Brevard.  He is hoping to find a small house here to rent or perhaps buy when he sells his home in NC.  For now, we are working to get his house ready to sell.  Great fun watching him make decisions about what to discard and what to keep.  This beautiful blossom is within reach from his porch.  Butterfly bush?  I think so but I haven't checked.
