Working on the wash.

I keep active doing the laundry. Here I am bringing in the wash. I'm all the go all day. I never thought I would be so active at 90 years old!

Flower Arrangement

This is one of the flower arrangements on my dining room table. I make about 3 to 4 arrangements a week. It cheers up the house.

Snow on the Mountain Bush

I think this bush is called Snow on the Mountain. The more water I give it the more colorful it gets. It was only 8 inches tall when I put it in. Now it's a big bush. 

My Living Room

Here's my living room. Again, it is much brighter than this picture gives the impression. That's Carmen laying on this sofa. The sofa is a white leather, and Carmen has a blanket and a pillow to lay on. The dark mat in front of the sofa it to give her traction so that she doesn't slip. At 12 years old, she needs a little help.

Those three pictures on the wall are the pettipoints that I did when we were living on Schoolhouse Road near the shore. I brought them to Hawaii with me. After spending months doing them, I couldn't bear to part with them.

My Dining Room

This is my dining room. It is very bright, not like this picture.

Blue Bush

This was only 12 inches tall when I put it in, and now it is about 5 feet tall. It has dozens of blooms on it all the time, almost continuously. I think I have the most colorful yard in the neighborhood.

It's hard to plant bushes here because of the lava. It is almost right on the surface. So it is very hard to dig a hole. Instead of using a shovel, I have to use a hand pick. Good exercise!!!!

My Hibiscus

This flower is big, it's about 7 inches across! It is one of the prettiest hibiscus, I think. It blooms almost all year around. In fact, it has never stopped blooming for me. It is right opposite my front door, about ten feet away from the house.
