My Hibiscus is loving the weather. It has been a steady stream of blooms all summer. When the sun gets around the building I enjoy some time out on my balcony. It is peaceful and I have a fabulous east facing view.

Al should be back in full swing of his therapies today, which will be great. Yesterday I took him off the compound and pushed him to our friend’s home about a block and a half away. It was a surprisingly easy push. We enjoyed a visit and beverage out under a tree in their back yard. Al conversed appropriately, only once dropping the F-bomb when he had difficulty word finding. He seemed to totally enjoy the outing. I find it mildly amusing what his healing brain will access when it needs to.

This morning my body is feeling the effects of riding to and fro and all the weekend pushing. Last evening my sister in law and I enjoyed a lovely meal at Sakura a Japanese restaurant which is entertaining. We then took in Magic Mike which was not quite what I thought it would be. We did get to see some male skin and a few "hot" moves but over all it was not the best movie on the planet. But it elicited a few giggles from two middle aged women. So all in all it wasn't a total bust.
