I'm back....

I've been so busy since I returned from the Ginny Doll get together in Ohio. The weather was wonderful, the sky so blue, and we had so much fun. It was a nice break for me. There's so much stress in my life worrying about Dad and trying to keep up with things around the house. Some days I have no energy at all and the days are wasted. Escaping into Ginny's fantasy world was a welcomed change.

This year the theme was a park in the 1950's in Medford, MA. We set our dolls up in various themes. I put pictures up in my picturetrail album. It's www.picturetrail.com/bettymartin if you want to take a look. Here's a picture of the drive in. We all got to watch a 3-D movie!



It's done nothing but rain all summer. Once in a while we have a little sunshine, but at least with cloudy skies it keeps the heat down. In all the years we've lived in the Houston area I cannot remember a summer where we didn't have to water by now. Normally we start watering in April or May, but this year the sprinkler has pretty much gone unused.

I bought a new contact lens case at Target and used it for the first time. Yesterday morning when I opened the case I discovered that the lid had taken off a piece of my one lens. It's ruined! I had been to the eye doctor on July 3rd and they ordered new lenses, but they're not in yet!!! I've got very bad vision and actually see better with contacts. I don't even like to drive with glasses, so now I'm up the creek without an ore...so to speak. I do have one old pair that I kept for an emergency, but they're very uncomfortable and can only be worn for a short time. I'm going to be sticking close to home until the new ones come in.
