Wisteria flowers

I’ve been noticing a lot of flowers on vines the past couple of weeks, and just looked them up on google – they are wisteria flowers.  Very pretty!  I can’t remember ever seeing wisterias bloom in real life.  Being relatively new to the area, I’m not familiar with all of the flowers that bloom here.  I can tell you that I never saw wisterias in bloom like this in Maine!

My hubby is going to join the Masons

One of my brothers is a member of the Masons, and I have been encouraging my hubby to join the Masons too.  Since we are new to the area I think that joining an organization like that is a good way to meet new people, make new friends, and start a social life.  So my hubby has been talking to my brother about joining the Masons, at my encouragement.  I hope he does it!

My mother-in-law is deteriorating

My mother in law is eighty years old, and her health is slowly deteriorating.  She has arthritis and COPD.  She has to be on oxygen 24/7 and has to hook herself up to a special machine at night that keeps her from dying in her sleep (I think it is for sleep apnea.)  Anyway, it is difficult to see her health failing as she ages.  It is getting harder for her to get around; when we go out she has to use a wheelchair because she cannot walk very far.

Bought a new Irobot Roomba yesterday

Yesterday I went to Linens N Things and bought a new Roomba vacuum cleaner.  When I got home I was too tired to open it up; I plan to do that today!  I am looking forward to having a Roomba to vacuum my floors for me!  I’ve been tired of doing it myself for quite a while now!  I’ve had a Roomba before, and I liked it a lot.  This new one is supposed to be a better one than the one I had before, so I’m anxious to see how it does.
