part of a normal day

-

A normal day, well normal and me are like hand and glove, OJ's that is, it just don't fit, but I will try.  

It begins with coffee and devotions and reading news on the computer for at least an hour, sometimes more, as I am not a very fast mover in the morning and I make a lot of coffee and the coffee is very very good here.  Also I like to read the news, especially sports news.  

This is the view from my kitchen window.  Parrots make a rather lot of noise in this tree, (the other side of the house, the jack hammer will start about 8 AM,  these Panamanian construction workers, though fond of noise, are not early risers.   Blessing abound.

My kitchen, spacious, you will note and Patt would be pleased to note that I had left only one drawer open.  Of course I use only one, but still, that is pretty good.  I did have both of the cabinets that I use closed.  I was setting up for the photo shoot this day.

Well not really, the photo shoot happened on a day that was not the day after a Saturday or Tuesday.  Those are days the maid comes.  I forgot how to wash dishes.  Amazing how fast that happened too.

now you all know since I have time, and have been studying Spanish, reading real books, not trash, working out, spending time with photography, I have also taken up gourmet cooking !  To much stuff here, fresh, easily available, and so on.  and whoa babe -  that also contributed to the pile here in the sink.

Breakfast is served.  Canadian oatmeal raisin cookies with peanut butter, wheatgerm in yogurt, cold water, (out of bananas).   I also have granola I put in the yogurt and a wheat cracker for the peanut butter for variety.  Sometimes this is dinner instead of breakfast -- that is days I eat eggs for breakfast.  Last night I had eggs and toast with cheese, and ham.  So I sort of alternate.

Lunch is out of the house - and I have a good lunch place.  Sometimes I eat dinner out too.  You all did not really think I cooked much did ya?    This retirement is good, but sometimes I appreciate a meal too.  Oh I have several kinds of juice too, but most days the water does the trick.  It is hot in the kitchen.  I do not cook a lot.  I have warmed up a delivered or brought home pizza too.  Now we are cooking and part of a normal day does not involve much cooking
