Today I have a new link on my sidebar. Some of you will have seen it on Barbara's journal and some will have seen it on Guido's. However, for those of you who have not visited either, I wish to point it out. It is a word game. For every word you get right, grains of rice are donated to feed the hungry. You can also go to the homepage, read where the rice goes, statistics etc. A very worthy cause and I am going to use it regularly. Just click on the pale green graphic and it will take you there.
Well, at last we have some sunshine. Hazy but definitely sunshine and some blue in the sky. This morning when I went to the doctors it was very overcast and very chilly. He is very pleased with my progress but has prescribed different medication to be taken for a week to ensure my problem is cleared up completely. So, fingers crossed that this second lot of meds works wonders as I do not want a referral to the hospital.
We did go for a drive around afterwards and I took a couple of snaps. Only a couple of properties. If they come out o.k. I might put them on here. I decided against landscapes in general because it was so grey and the trees so bare and bleak looking.
Since then I have been catching up on all the mail and playing the rice game. So I need to get off here and do something with the house, like dusting and tidying. Actually I feel quite tired. I always do when I have had a medical appointment, it is the tension that does it. I really feel like curling up for a nice nap but somehow I do not think any fairies will pop by and do the cleaning for me.
I am glad you liked the picture of Jack I posted yesterday. He is very handsome, just like our late Pip was. But then I consider all my animals handsome.
Cannot believe it it nearly the weekend again. Got a sausage casserole in the slow cooker and the smell is making me so hungry!

I`ve just been playing the game Jeannette, its lots of fun and very worthy.
Love Sandra xxxx
Sorry Jeanette I did miss the rice giving on your side bar. I will certainly do that. Like I ALWAYS each time I log in go to the hunger site and donate a cup of food, that is the first thing I do each time I log in, from there I also click on for a free mamoram, a book, etc. It is so easy and only takes a minute. Glad that all went well at Drs. the saysage casserole sounds yummy..that is Mary's favouite..sausages... Love Sybil xx
Hi Jeannette, Got already addicted to the rice game, thanks!
Jack's photo is fantastic! What a marvellous and proud dog!
Have a nice day.
Ciao

Dear Jeannette,
I shall go and giv the rice game a try soon. I'm sure I shall become addicted to it, but it's for a worthy cause. Yes, that was a splendid photograph of Jack in your previou post. He is such a beautiful animal like all your other pets. I too, cannot believe it's nearly the weekend, and I still have not updated my journal! Enjoy your sausage casserole, which is my favourite meal.

Could possibly get hooked on playing that game! linda xx
Hi Hope the new meds work for you .....Love Jeanx
I'm glad you are doing well and will continue to keep you in my prayers. Slow cooking is one of my favorite things to do, but the smell does keep me hungry til it gets done for sure. That may be one of the few good things I like about winter time...good food that I don't fix in the summer. 'On Ya' - ma
2640 toward feeding the hungry..love the game..I was surprised I recalled as much as I did.
My word, this Free Rice game is addictive isn't it? I've Favourited it.
Angie, xx
What a beautiful picture Jeanette! Lovely, just like your sweet self - and you'll get better each day, I know you will. Keeping you in my thoughts...CATHY
Afternoon Jeannette,
What a great idea...I played the game and was astounded just how many definitions I DID know.
I have even started to do some cross-word as I have been told it helps with the mind.
As much as I love words, and usuing correct pronunctations, I find myself struggling with the simplest answer.
Hope that you are continuing to feel better.
Blessings, once more from COLD Alberta....although I stuck to my walk again.

Hi Jeannette,
I'm so glad your appointment went well. I always get tired when I have a Dr appointment as well. I think it's because it takes up a whole morning. I have to dress...get there....wait to see the Doc...go to the pharmacy....and get home. It's usually a 3 hour event! The stress can be high if you are sick.
I think you should allow yourself the nap if you want it.
Hugs..Pam
Hello dear Jeannette,
I have to say that I have been meaning to come by and leave you a comment. I have to say that I still love coming to your journal just like I did the very first time. I wanted you to know that I played the Word Game and I actually learned some new words there that I didn't know before. I find that I will play this game several more times since its a worthy cause. I am glad you shared it on your journal. I didn't know about this until you pointed it out. Its always nice to hear from you. Do take care Jeannette and hug the family for me.
Your friend, Monae
Love the grecian graphic!!! I hope you don't mind that I copied the rice game tag from your sidebar for mine!!
Thanks,
Joann
I really like the rice/word game. I have added it to my blog, as it is an excellent fit. I also had to learn how to add the link, so you're helping me grow in more than one way. Thanks.
Hope your dr. visit went as well as my semi-annual check Monday.

Was there a problen in Jland yesterday? I couldn't get through to anyone's blog, not even my own! So here I am now and I do so agree about the bleak landscape, I keep popping out to the garden to see if the spring bulbs are pushing their way through yet, and I'm glad to say they are :-D Roll on Spring!
all the best

Thanks for spreading the word about the Free Rice game! And I am so glad you had a good report from the doctor. - Barbara
I love the Rice Game. It's so much fun. Plus it builds your vocabular, but most importantly gives rice to those who need food. Thanks for telling others about it.

I played the rice grains game and got 2000 grains - I wonder who counts them ;-)
It is a good game for exercising the brain, I was more pleased by getting the ones right that made me think and work out the meaning of words that I'd never heard of before but somehow got the right answer by some sort of weird logic!
all the best
Freda
I enjoyed the rice game, scored 3400. Hope you are well

What a great idea........... just donated 2,500 grains...... seems a pittance really, but good fun and for a worthwhile cause . have added it to my favourites . Cannot think of a better use of a few minutes time than helping others who need it .
Hugs Jayne
