Looks like she's leaving. I've had roofers here for almost 2 weeks, and when she's not in the back of the closet hiding under a pillow, she's either trying to escape, or supervising from a windowsill.

Betsy Davenport Richard, she is so smart she learned how to open the door to the rest of the house. It has a lever handle, not a round knob, and she stretched up so she could puther front paws on top of it and pull it down. I finally saw her do it on a video camera I aimed for the door. I had to thwart her with a childproofing gadget.

2 weeks post TAVR, I finally felt like cooking something. This is a Thai-inspired curry and tofu soup. Good for a few days so I don't have to cook again tomorrow.
Suzette Schear Betsy that's wonderful cooking and wanting to eat.
Larry Peterson Nothing better than a tofu curry! Looks great, Betsy!

Richard Munson It does look good actually but to celebrate my eye surgery today i grilled a huge burger and some fries in the oven. To make it heart healthy i added a slab of Bermuda onion for my veggie. I cheated a little for dessert with my favorite coffee ice cream. My mouth is watering just typing this with no glasses.

Betsy Davenport And on clear days, I can see Mt. St. Helen's out there. On really really clear days, also Mt. Baker and Mt. Hood. I think. I can never remember.

Kathy Pate I'm in love with your cat....he's gorgeous & precious!! I'm looking at our shitzu, Ruby Sue. I dread leaving her for 2 nights. Yes, I spoil her rotten & love every minute of it. My daughter says, she needs that time away to teach her humblesness...LOL. She's kidding of course. Well, she is a bit of a diva; but, adorable at the same time. Countdown to my TAVR tomorrow is less than 14 hrs. Thank You Lord!!🙏🏻❤️

So this is the filthy cat I'm not allowed to sleep with the night before my TAVR. She's not going to take it lightly, and I'll hear about it from her for days afterward.

Marie Myers I remember sleeping in the guest bedroom because my little dog couldn’t sleep with me. So my filthy dog and filthy husband kept each other company the night before my surgery..I actually had a better night sleep without those two!! Your cat is beautiful!

Kathy Pate You'd probably have been better sleeping with your precious cat....I know...we have stress when they're stressed when they don't understand why Mama won't let me on the bed. Same thing here with our dog!! I'm more concerned about her than me.😎❤️. My daughter says it will teach her some humbleness! We both laughed!

In other news, the day I was feeling so lousy, I went with my daughter for a walk - a birding walk - at a wetlands area close by. It was evening, and the day had cooled, the terrain was flat, and we saw lots of birds. It felt good to be somewhere other than home, and so many birds!

Sue Maize I love birds too Betsy—I’ve put out 3 new feeders this summer and find their presence so special, even healing. Being in nature is very life-giving. 💕
Rose Madura Birds are very interesting to watch. Glad you are feeling better emotionally. 👍

Ana Brusso I have a bird that comes every day and wets his body in our pool but doesn’t go in the pool, he knows better. In the front yard every afternoon we get a whole bunch of small birds that eats who knows what and then go away. I love to watch them. Birds are very special.

Betsy Davenport The mower died in late May. The raggedy look of things is attributable to that. The brown color of the grass is due to the now routine lack of rain.

Betsy Davenport To me this is funny because I never anymore get dressed up. I keep a pair of new dark brown (that's my version of black) jeans to break out when I have to be presentable for a medical appointment, or - hmm, what else? Someone's house for dinner I guess. In 2022 I put on a dress once, and then this in 2023. I'm not planning on a long hospital stay, but I am nonetheless considering getting a new pair of pajamas for the occasion of my valve job.

Betsy Davenport I was 35. I kept running until I became pg at 40. After that it was walking and backpacking and not a lot of that. I've already issued a challenge to my sister: in a year we'll play pickleball together. She's always been sub-athletic but is fiendish about p-ball. I figure with a new heart valve, I can bear her, LOL.

Sue Maize Good for you! Yes, pickleballers are a pretty dedicated sort! I’ve yet to try it but it’s huge here (I guess everywhere these days). I’m looking forward to some good hikes again with my new and improved ❤️.
