It was a great day to go for a walk at Coal Miner's Park. It's about a mile and a half from the parking lot out to the first road.

Lily is doing a great job in her swim lessons. She has her face in the water. I think it is very important for kids to learn how to swim.
Day 177, Tuesday, June 25, 2024
This is the x-ray of my right elbow. The doctor said it is healing just fine and should be back to normal in a couple of weeks. It has been 4 weeks since I fell and fractured the radial head.
Day 176, Monday, June 24, 2024
Oh boy! Jim had a growth under his eye. The doctor decided he should have it removed and biopsied. It will take a few days to get the results.

I didn't know there was a National Giraffe Day, but I love them so I had to find a picture of a momma and her baby!

Coco just loves to sit under the table. I have a tablecloth on the end table so he can hide for some quiet time in the afternoons.
Day 171, Wednesday, Jun 19, 2024
I can't wait to see what these buds are on this flower bush. I could probably google lens it and find out, but I like to be surprised on my way to the gym!
Day 170, Tuesday, June 18, 2024
Our great niece and nephew are getting so big! I love it when Aly sends pictures of the two of them.

Day 166, Friday, June14, 2024
Andy sent us pictures of the boys playing in the splash pad in the park near their apartment in New York! I think they really liked getting cooled off in the park.

Blitz is such a busy kitty. He just falls asleep anywhere. Here he is on the couch because he has been running around playing like a crazy boy!
Day 163, Tuesday, June 11, 2024
Yep! That's a bucket of money! We had a quarter auction at the Moose. This cash was donated to Totes for Ta-Ta's. We had a really great night!

Coco was so happy to see me when I got home after being gone for a few days. He wore himself out and had to take a nap in his puppy dog bed!
Day 160, Saturday, June 8, 2024
We went for a walk and found this bakery in the shopping plaza by the crop. There was a selfie room, so of course Lily and I had to play in the money! The the location of this crop is just perfect!
Day 159, Friday, June 7, 2024
You can see by the smiles on our faces we are having a great time. Even though I have my sling on, it was a great day!
Day 158, Thursday, June 6, 2024
I am packing my food for the crop that Lily and I are going to in Mt. Zion. We met Dawn who runs the crop at the Barn III in March. It was a spur of the moment decision.
Day 157, Wednesday, June 6, 2024
This morning I stopped on our walk into Parkside to use the macro lens to get an up close photo of the raindrops on the leaves of the plants.

This is what my left knee looks like 1 week after my fall on the street.
Day 155, Monday, June 3, 2024
Jim got a Loop Recorder Implant in his chest, today. This will stay under his skin for 3 years. It is a monitor to detect AFib, since he never felt it last year about this time. If he goes into AFib, this recorder will notify Dr. Budda and he will call us with instructions.
Day 154, Sunday, June 2, 2024
We went to the Riverfront Museum to see the shark exhibit. We really enjoyed all the information and the displays with the sharks!

Oh boy is this kitty so pretty! He is a beast, though. Blitz is scratching, biting and just being a little jerk!
Day 151, Thursday, May 30, 2024
Cindy and I went to the Pekin Show Choir concert at Pekin High School. Oh my goodness...They did a great job! We knew several of the members of the choir. Carol, Vicky, Erin and Ralph. We will be sure to go see them in the next year!
Day 150, Wednesday, May 29, 2024
We went to Portillio's for lunch today. I got a lettuce wrapped bacon cheeseburger and Jim got 2 hotdogs and fries! Yummy!
Day 149, Tuesday, May 28, 2024
Today was a really bad day! I tripped and fell in the street behind our car when I came out of Picker's Daughter. We went to the ER and was told my elbow was fractured. We went to the walk-in clinic at Midwest Ortho for a 2 hour wait. The doctor told me it would take at least 6 weeks to heal, but I didn't have to keep it wrapped or in a sling unless I was going out of the house.
Day 148, Monday, May 27, 2024
Amy gave us a dog stroller. We took Coco to Coal Miner's Park for a little walk today.

We had an amazing day at Timeless Treasure Market during our crop! Terri, Kim, Lily, Pam, Cindy and I laughed all day long! I enjoy their company so very much!
Day 144, Thursday, May 23, 2024
This corner of the building at Parkside is always in bloom with different flowers. I don't know who was the "planter" of these bulbs/bushes, but there is always something different blooming.
Day 143, Wednesday, May 22, 2024
I love to take pictures of murals around town. This one has been on my list for a little while. Every time we go downtown, there is something blocking the bottom of this mural. It covers the top to bottom of one of the buildings.
Day 142, Tuesday, May 21, 2024
I made these cards to use at the Totes for Ta-Ta's Quarter Auction at the Moose Lodge. We have a couple of baskets that are baseball related, so I thought this design would be cute.
Day 141, Monday, May 20, 2024
12 years ago, I picked up the cutest little 4 legged in the whole world! He is the best little guy and is so very smart. Sometimes to smart for his own good. We love him with all our heart!
Day 140, Sunday, May 19, 2024
Our great nephew, Kai is playing soccer this spring. He really enjoys it. I hope he can play all summer, too.
