Love your stories Sharon, still a long way to go
Regards,
Arif.

It's such an honor knowing that you are going back and reading them, Arif.
Thank you.

What else to do Sharon these days? These was only that much that I could say Oh! How cute . So, I have choked off. It is better this way. Just butchered one passiflora vine and am plain tuckered out. These was a day and age when I could paint one complete shipside of a ocean going vessel. Now I doubt I can paint a dinghy. Going very fast. After my 50th birthday things started going as if boosted by rockets. Cannot explain that to any one below fifty, can I?
Regards,
Arif.

You used it all up painting ocean liners and there's now little left. I think I climbed too many mountains and now can hardly take an upward step.
One passiflora vine at a time, Arif . . . just one step at a time.

. After writing to you I sat back and thought. I am supposed to take certain meds like vit D and vit E injections. With what my memory is I had forgotten them and also my hormone supplement. Well jabbed the E in but first I get the D level checked in the morning. I am on a silly collection of drugs nothing serious just silly things and they make a big difference in vitality. By April the heat will be up and my kidneys will start coughing then diuretics and Uric acid medicines, Nothing serious so I forget. By the time I will be remembering my uric acid meds my joints, don't mention it.
My problem is remembering otherwise I am ok .
Regards,
Arif.

Basil and gingko are good for memory.
Black pepper, too.

But I dearly hate needles. I'd rather eat leaves.

I spend most of my time in the sun and that problem makes no sense to me. Needles I don't mind. that part I handle myself.
Regards,
Arif.
