Living

with Jim and Gayle

August, 2025

August was a terrible month.

My best friend of 40 plus years, Joan, has been diagnosed with advanced Stage 4 uterine cancer.

Bo had two seizures in 3 days.

I have not felt well for a couple of months.  Not feeling well really got bad this month.  I am undergoing a battery of tests to try to determine what is wrong.

My garden is somewhat neglected because of how I feel.  However, it is producing quite a selection of vegetables.  The bright orange marigold plants make me smile.


Jim and I canned 3 pints of cowboy candy (sweetened jalapeno peppers) and 3 pints of cherry tomatoes.  We sliced the green peppers into strips and froze them.



Jim got the stitches out from his thumb surgery.  He is happy with the result.



The battery on our camper trailer exploded.  It sprayed the front of the trailer with red acid which won't wash off.
