Morning Thoughts

I haven't been doing much lately because of my bad knee. I am going to a clinic in Chapala next week to have my X rays checked out by a doctor. It is about half the cost of seeing a doctor who caters to the expats. I am leaning towards dropping the IMSS and signing up for Seguro Popular. I hope to get a ride out to the new SP hospital in Jocotopec soon. If I do, I will put some photos on of it on the blog and tell you my impressions of the place. 

I went to see Elsie again yesterday and took her a chocolate cupcake this time. She was very appreciative. Said she would save it for after her lunch. She is staying at La Paloma and it looks nice. The lunch smelled very good. They even have a beautiful swimming pool which I am sure no one uses. I have seen two other guests there and they are all well over eighty years old.

I took a couple of photos of Chico and the kitty this morning. So here they are, along with Elsie.



Olive still has a cold. She walks around as if she is drugged. If she isn't well by next week I will take her to the vet.



Chico is watching her. They get along fine in the house. Outside, it is a different story. Chico chases her. Check out his favorite toy, next to him. I find it in the strangest places in the house.



Elsie looks so pleased to have another cupcake.



Hope I look that good at 103.... Hope I live that long. Or maybe not.....

    Hi Pat: Mom was 102 last September. You are so kind to visit and take her "treats".

    A year here, a year there, after a wonderful century plus of experiencing so much, Elsie looks FAB! One can only hope to be that good looking! Still a regular reader but sporadic commenter, and throughly enjoying your posts! Keep up the great work!

    So sweet you went to visit Elsie! She certainly looks great and it looks like she is knitting. It is amazing she can still knit.

      Hi Cathy, She is amazing. She knits and her mind is clear. I wonder what her secret is. P

    How is Olive? Is she acting herself again? I once had a cat who was acting in a fog, and it turned out she had diabetes. Finally got a house reserved for March and April.
