Nigel had an appointment with the surgeon last week. He was really impressed with the progress Nigel has made in walking. He did kinda mention the left hip will be replaced (again), but we wouldn’t be discussing that for a long, long time. All in all, it was a good appointment. He mentioned the physical …
Is anyone else in shock that we’re doing 10 on the 10th for August already? I was thinking about all the things I needed to accomplish, and it occurred to me I needed to get this out to y’all! We haven’t done Would You Rathers for a while so let’s have a go with them, …
Gosh, it was strange to go back and read last month’s 10 on the 10th! I was so hopeful Nigel’s (and mine) long journey to walk was about to come to fruition. Unfortunately, as most of you know, the revision didn’t take place due to an infection in the joint. I’m hopeful we’ll know more …
Welcome to the April preview of 10 on the 10th! Doesn’t it seem like we just celebrated Valentine’s Day, and now Easter is over? I guess that’s just the nature of things, right? Last year, we talked about diamonds, and as much as I’d love to do that again, we won’t. I think it’s time …
I really liked what I did last year, but who wants a repeat, right? Last year, we wrote about things we “can” or “may” do in the month of May. This go round, we’re back to everyone’s favorite! Would you rathers! I tried really hard to come up with my own, but I had to …
10 on the 10th… May was one of those months that flew pretty quickly. Nigel had a couple of tests, and we’re now waiting for his appointment with the surgeon. He has been using a walker everywhere and is supposed to stay off of his feet as much as possible. That’s almost impossible with him. …
June is off to a beautiful start. We have had the most gorgeous weather though storms are forecast for the next day or so. I also love thunderstorms so all is well. My plants are doing well, though one of my salvias has mites. It’s funny because last year, I had the same problem with …
Ah, February! Here you are. Have I missed you? Hmmm, I don’t think so. It always seems like this shortest month of all drags on forever. And, this year, we get an extra day…yippee? Even though Nigel and I don’t really do much for Valentine’s Day, I caved for this month’s 10 on the 10th. …
Ok, let’s get the weather report out of the way. Friday and Saturday, we had highs in the high 50s (~14C). It’s almost like when you’re emerging from winter. In fact, I spotted some of my hyacinths peeping out of the mulch! I think it’s supposed to cool off this week, but I’m not holding …
Did you ever wonder why October wouldn’t be the eighth month? I mean octo- means eight, right? Just like our friend, September, October once had a different spot in the calendar. The Roman calendar didn’t include January and February. Once they were added, October became the tenth month, but no one bothered to change the …
