Today Sheila and I celebrate 40 years since the day we first met, sneaking glances at each other (though I think I was the more blatant 😊 ) at the start of a two week 8-5 training for new jobs we had with the state ❤️
We’re celebrating by driving south of Austin to the doctor (cause it’s faster than going to the office 3x closer to home in Austin itself, lol!). A little vertigo check up is all.
So that’s a part, a good part really, of celebrating 40 years with a dr appt – we’ve each other to help take care of ourselves. I’ve been driving her around for over a week, like she drove me around for weeks following my 2 surgeries.
And she still makes us the most delicious healthy fun meals!
Yes, love has many many flavors 💕

This is an edited edition of our conversation on our drive here (dr’s office). Reminiscent of our drive delivering my art work to Jerry’s Artarama last year, lol! 😂
Her: We’ll never make it in time.
Me: Google says this is faster than the freeway.
Her: I hate the freeway.
Me: (thinking: that’s why we’re going this way) Me too.
Her: I wait five more minutes then call we’re running late.
Me: (thinking: our appt’s in 9 minutes, call now) Good idea.
Her: We should’ve left earlier.
Me: (thinking: she’s right) Yeah. It’ll be ok.
Her: I’ll call, oh, I don’t have their number!
Me: Look them up on Safari on your phone, then click their # to call.
Her: I never done that on the phone.
Me: Same.
Her: (looking at iPhone icons) I don’t know which one’s Safari!
Me: (coming to a another stop) Lemme see (hands me phone). Wow, you’ve got like twenty tabs open.
Her: I just need to call them.
Me: Right. (close several tabs, see one blank for Google, hand her phone) Tap on the address part and put in the dr and city.
Her: It won’t let me type.
Me: Try typing.
Her: Why’s it working? I didn’t have a blank screen!
Me: (truthfully) I never know how something’s gonna work on these things, I just try it and see.
Her: It’s calling, shhh!

Thanks everyone! Be blessed! I’m beginning to think it’s a choice to be open to this – being blessed. Otherwise, a miracle’ll do 😊

It was beyond superb, Dolly! The Masterpiece production was 4 one hour segments and neither my wife nor I wanted it to end; I really need to do even if just a short review post for it; I was stunned by the quality and pacing & issues covered!

Whenever you write it up, I am looking forward to your take of it. Meanwhile, we are looking for the way of getting it on Roku.

I think, if Roku (not familiar usage-wise with it) has access to PBS & Masterpiece, you should be able to pick it up within their library; let me check Amazon – yeah, if you have Prime (and even if you don’t they offer some other options), try here – https://amzn.to/389fN7K 😊 Yeah, I was trying to decide what to work up next for a post, about my new fixative image spray, or another finished painting, or my recent goof up of a pix, lol! But really, Howard’s End haunts me right now, so maybe that 😊

We do have Amazon Prime, but I am not sure Roku is compatible with it. Thank you for the link, though!
I am techno-idiot, so all I know is that Roku is a tiny attachment ($14.99 – would you believe it?) that turns a TV screen into a moderately smart TV by connecting wirelessly to the router. It has a huge selection of channels, most of them paid, but some are free. Mostly, it allows us to pull up what we want to watch on YouTube, especially Russian films, concerts, and other programming. We do not watch (and do not have) regular TV.
Have a great day, Felipe!
