Bad Penny Edited to add a few things

 I'm like a bad penny!  Here I am again.  

The Grandson was here again today as well as yesterday and he and his Mom  brought me something he made himself to celebrate my re-birthday!  I will always have it.  

He's a boy and awfully young but he sure meant it with all his heart! His Mom said he used a jar of paste for every piece of paper!  :-) 

LOOK!  Look what got assembled right here in my own living room!!!  My crystal and brass floor lamp..cost a few cents when I bought it 20 some years ago, and a week or so ago, it lost its insides.  So had to buy a new one.  Got in on Prime Day.  The first thing I ever assembled was my newest vacuum.  Even though I hated every second, it got done pretty quickly.  This lamp as well.  It's purty!  If you biggafy the next picture  below this first one of it, you can see the decoration at the top...just below the bulb area.   Oh!  And everyone has a dinosaur sheet over their big chair..right?  Right! 

I dislike assembling anything and I hope the two things I mentioned  will be it.  I went to our new Cat Cafe here where I live and visited with the cats.  In the lobby there were things one could purchase.  A word leapt up off the shelf and said BUY ME! It was a dish of crocheted crowns!  The word that leapt up was "Crowns".  If you live with a kitty, you know they are royalty so you MUST get the crown.  It was crocheted in a close- to- golden- tone yarn.  All the points of the crown were there, but flat so you havta tease up the points the best you can.  But it does not matter.  They are Royalty and it is a crown.  I sent one to Katie's mancat furriend and one to Auntie Ellen to her Rosie.  Kat's is large and Rosie's is small.  Kat got his but Rosie hasn't meowed anything yet.  Oops, my lines here  are out of sync.  BYE! 

Oh My Goodness. Today is THE Day.

 Today is what I have called my Re-Birthday.  Ten years ago I had some extreme heart surgery. I am so glad I lived through it.  I wouldn't have gotten to see my Grandson otherwise.  Thanks to the awesome but complicated surgery and the almost 10 day stay in the hospital...I got to come home, and take the entire year I was told it would take, to recover.  But I did.  So happy Re-Birthday to me!!

It isn't essay typing with a cat right smack in the middle of the screening the keyboard off to the left.  I may have to give up.  I just wanted to wish my self a happy Re -Birthday and express gratitude that I am still here.  

Tomorrow I have to hope I can get Katie into her carrier and get her off to get her ears cleaned and those claws trimmed.  Never easy.

That above is one of my Gardenias with a friend on it.  

Doing PT this past month.  They are helping wonderfully well.  I over did it exercising.  I never learn.

By the way, before I forget___ who likes NCIS...the one with Mark Harmon in the lead?  I love that show.  

This cat will NOT move.  I give up.
