This is Mary Jo posting from the Library

Hi, everyone!

Yes, Suzanne's not the only one smart enough to use the computer at the library!! However, I don't have the luxury of a leisurely composition because this thing comes with a timer and my time is ticking down...so here we go, excuse grammatical and spelling errors, please.

Yesterday, I officially crossed over into the next decade, and I was really distressed about it for about a week beforehand. Now that it's a fact, I feel much better. I was treated to a pre-party last week before several of my friends left town on vacation and yesterday one of my friends took me to lunch, so that all helped ease the transition. However, I noticed most of my cards were "nice" rather than sarcastic, so I guess 60 must not be a very "funny" age to be! Sue offered to host a family get-together for the occasion, but with our car (yes, Suzanne is right, they are all "ailing" (and elderly))on the fritz and Paul perpetually irrigating in the heat and the humidity, I decided I didn't want to take off by myself. And I hesitate to leave him when he works so hard out there.

Speaking of Paul, he is doing fine. His "every three-month" checkups are showing no problems, and he feels good, so we're hopeful. He told me last week, he really doesn't think about his health much, and I don't either. We do remember to be grateful, however. And, as I said, he goes in for routine blood work and check-ups.

Mercy, it's hot and HUMID today. I need to mow this evening. The garden's overdoing itself. I've frozen cauliflower, broccoli, made saurkraut (it's an experiment), frozen corn and beans, and soon there will be tomatoes to preserve. We do eat it all, and most of the processes I enjoy.

Gotta wind this up; however, at the risk of becoming the "old lady who always talks about health", I have a question. Do any of you have experience with migraines that affect your vision?
I saw shooting stars and had some dizziness after mowing the other night. Paul took me to the ER, fearing I was having a stroke. A thorough exam revealed I probably had this form of a migraine (I've never had the traditional type of migraine headache). So I don't know if I'll have more of these or if it was a one-time occurrance. Sue tells me she experiences these.....Any comments?

Final note, my mom says the Bulls in Lincoln who had the triplets are Frederick Bull's son, Carson, and wife. They now have 5 girls and one boy (one of the triplets) Since their kids are 6, 4, 2, and triplets I don't suppose this is a result of fertility treatments!!!
