Getting Older, the aches and pains...

I guess I have been in hiding away from the blog this week. I think I am getting old and going down hill really fast! I pulled something in my back and it is giving me all kinds of trouble.

And I woke up with a gnarly cold sore... it is too ugly to post a picture, I took some, but it even grossed me out!

So I am really feeling like hibernating!

But I am fighting it off...

We did get to see Jim's sister and her husband for a quick minute as they were driving home from Arizona back to Washington.

We were so grateful they stopped for quick hugs on their way home... it was really good to see them. Sis about fell over when she saw how the teenager was towering over her now! It was fun!

The night before... my man and his friend got together for a jam session. It is nice he has someone he can play with... he has been looking for a while, the need to jam runs deep in his blood I suppose, because I could take this picture in the garage with the drum set and guitars and go back into my photo albums and find about 300 more to match it. Of course we all looked younger back then and didn't have aching backs or ugly faces. Ah the good ol' days!

This is me and the drummers wife... she is a good sport too!

They are both Oregon "Ducks", but we love them anyway (he he he).

"Quack, Quack, Quack"

And the teenager is still avoiding the camera, and has caught on to all my tricky moves... like this one, sitting the camera on the table and when he lets his guard down I tip it up and "snap a shot"... he is young and moves pretty quickly. He actually got his hand up from eating pizza at Costco quick enough to block this one! I figured he would be pretty distracted with PIZZA! not! His new nickname should be quick draw! And he never even missed a word... who knew he would be such a big chatter either... yak yak yak!

So even in hiding, I am still plugging along... but most importantly, staying out of trouble!
