Progress Takes Time

I want my progress to be complete with just a few efforts. But it doesn't work that way. I've been niggling away at legal matters and surplus possessions for several months now and I'm nowhere near the end. But today, I can really see that I am making progress.

Today I got the travel trailer title transferred to a new owner. Some day this week, the trailer will be moved to his property. He and I worked through this morning to get my "stuff" out of the trailer and he did a trial hitch to his truck and moved the trailer about 5 feet.

It was gratifying to see that it would work. The trailer hasn't been on the road for probably more than 15 years. It's also gratifying to see that it is going to be spruced up and used again. That really is progress, and, it really did take time to get to this point.

I dont jump in, but I do walk in fast, and then dunk under to get wet all at once. It is much better.

Mary Lou, I really understand why you would not want to join the crowd at the beach at 3 in the afternoon to save a place to see fireworks at dusk. I'm sure they must be spectacular, but we can now remember spectacular and the allure of being home or close to home right after the fireworks is too strong. Good choice.

I forgo (ed) (went) whatever the fireworks this year too. THe big ones were last night, and you have to get to the beach about 3 in the afternoon to get a place anywhere close, and since I can not walk far, I said Nope! We went to my Nephew's wedding yesterday and I came home pooped. SO I went to bed early and watched the neighbors blow up the world through my bedroom window. I Am so glad the woods did not catch fire.

Lorraine, I can understand your dismay at that meal! I can't make myself eat liver, but I could eat beets, at least a very small portion. Our tastes do change. I have learned to eat, and usually like, carrots and sweet potatoes. When I was a kid I didn't like watermelon, but now I like it, so I know our tastes do change.

I used to hate beets as a kid. My mom always served them with liver and onions, which actually used to make me gag. I would sit at the table for hours because I wouldn't eat them and my parents were part of the "clean plate club." Now I like pickled beets. Sometimes our taste for certain things change.

I have a whole backyard of those...my renters let them all die, and now they are pretty in their own way, so I just left them.

Mary Lou, that's exciting news. It took such a long time, didn't it! As it grows taller, you can take a cutting from it and root it and the plant will start branching out. It will bleed a milky liquid and you need to let that dry a day or two before you put it into water to root. It should grow beautifully now.
Thanks for telling me.
