AUGUST FOGS

August 25, 2015

By Olivene Godfrey

We old timers in North Georgia believe that the number of August fogs we have means that we'll have an equal number of snowfalls this upcoming winter.  Folks here are already preparing for fall and winter.  I'm not ever happy to see summer end.

My arthritis in the back of my knees hurt year round.  Barry recently bought me a neck wrap and knee wraps that bring deep penetrating pain relief with their moist heat.  They are naturally hydrating and a minute in the microwave eases the pain.

As I've told y'all before, I have become addicted to Starbucks coffee and look forward to Friday, Saturday and Sunday when I savor and drink a large cup.  I drink my coffee in a pretty cup my niece, Charlene Norton gave me for Christmas one year.  The cup has a matching sugar bowl and ceramic spoon.

This morning (Monday) Tam drove me to my dentist office for a check up and cleaning.  Since I still have my teeth, I have been seeing the dentist twice a year.  In recent years it has become an ordeal for me.  The hygienist is very nice and told me today I can start coming once a year instead of every six months.  Later, the dentist checked my teeth.  She and the hygienist commented on how well I keep my teeth.

Barry bought me a new, 39 inch flat screen television this past weekend.  I'm enjoying watching it when I'm here alone.  We gave Tam the one I'd been using in my room.  She was very thankful.

See you next time.  Comments welcome.  (As told to Tam.)
