Camelia Bushes In Bloom
Seven weeks ago, as of today, I underwent full knee replacement of my left knee. I now have two “bionic” knees, or so I like to think they will be once I’ve finished rehab. I have to thank Dr. Chad Millet for performing such a masterful job and his staff for their support. Physical therapy is not one bit fun, but necessary. I tow the line and follow directions. Ice and elevation are my two greatest friends. Now….to figure out how to sleep at night and I’ll have won the battle!
I haven’t gotten around to much blogging during my recovery. The photo above is of the ceiling in my bedroom here in our new home. This “double coved’ ceiling has been my view for days on end. I am now getting up and around on a more regular basis, but I have watched the paint color on this ceiling change hue as hours passed. Sometimes it’s taupe and others a serene shade of green that is completely unexpected. It all depends on the lighting. Sorry this photo is a bit “off kilter”, but I guess it fits my disposition of late! I’m a work in constant progress and I’m on the rise!

I’m not a television watcher. In fact, we don’t even have regular television since Apple TV offers all that we need for entertainment. But I have discovered how to watch YouTube on the big screen and am enjoying shows like “Fixer Upper” from HGTV. Being a Texas girl, born and raised, I think of taking a trip to Waco just to see what the empire Chip and Joanna Gaines are building is all about. I don’t know if you’ve watched the show but this couple is adorable and uber talented. I love watching something that shows accomplishment and happy endings….”Fixer Upper” always delivers. One of my favorite episodes transforms the home in the photo above…Season 1. AND, I’m loving the new Netflix series, “Sensitive Skin” with one of my all time favorite actresses, Kim Cattrell, of Sex in the City fame. This is not a role like “Samantha” that brought her so much attention, but her acting skills may be at their best in this new series.
My calendar is brimming over with new adventures in the New Year. Plans are in the works that will bring my best blog posts ever to your inbox every day…except Saturday. 2015 has been a mixed bag of trials and challenges which we have met and are working to turn into positive experiences as time passes. We are surrounded by an exciting world in New Orleans. Natives of this wonderfully historic city express an amazing joy for living on a daily basis. They parade at the drop of a hat and make celebration and every day occurrence. I cannot wait to experience my first Mardi Gras. Move over and let me in, MuffALotta’s! We’ll be dancing in the streets!
