I won't become a year older until 5:45 pm today. My dad used to call me every Nov. 14th and tell me "In ** minutes you will be ** years old". I really didn't care to be reminded back then, but I'd sure love to hear his voice today. Well, maybe not just yet - I'll join him and my mom soon enough!
Jeannie/Donald and Steve/Meg will be going with me to a local brewery later today. I didn't even realize we had one just a little over a mile from where I live.
I was astonished to find that all "American" breweries are now owned by foreign brewers. I think at one time Cincinnati had well over 100 breweries in that city alone, and I'm sure Milwaukee was the same. And to think we don't have one of them any more! That's when I decided to quit drinking Millers and PBR, and start drinking only local brews. I've always believed in buying everything local when possible, and I know Sacramento as well as other cities have micro-breweries that turn out a good product.
So today we are going to the micro-brewery near my house and visit their tasting room, where I'm hoping to find a brew I love. I don't drink much of anything now, so I can afford to pay more for something that is local.
The visit to the gym last night was a bit disappointing as they had the biggest part of the area closed off. They are replacing the flooring and the only areas available were the cardio section (which I don't care much for), and a section of free weights. It was good to be back, even though the facilities were somewhat limited.
I got on the scale at the gym and nearly fell off when I saw the reading - 130.2# . I haven't weighed 130 since the year 2000! I might be overdoing it on the snacks and sweets and should probably look more closely at eating the right foods. If 130 sneaked up on me like this, then 140 can be here before I know it. Although I feel pretty good about 130, I'd prefer to not go over 140 at the max and should probably stop right where I am while most of my clothes still fit!
Today is going to be a good day!
- Exercising
I'm feeling pretty good today, and still experiencing the after-effects of working out at the gym last night. I'm still taking it relatively easy so as not to aggravate my ribs, but what I do sure has me feeling great. There is a machine...
- Still Here In 2016
I haven't much felt like writing a blog for the past few days, but I did have a great time, especially since Dec. 30 up until last night (Jan 3rd). It's back to the old grind today. On the 30th, Jeannie & Donald helped me drink the growler...
- Back In Ca For A Few Weeks
I arrived in Sacramento yesterday afternoon, and the plane was actually early. Jeannie was there to meet me, and took me by her house - so good to see her, Donald, and the kids. I noted the good cooking aromas coming from the kitchen, so when...
- I Love Market Day!
I can get to the farmers' market, look over and buy the produce I want, and be back home and have things put away in about an hour or less! Of course that is when I go by myself, but I'd rather shop with Jeannie and the girls and take a...
- A Nap Works Wonders!
After I ate lunch today I succumbed to the comforts of the couch and a warm blanket. The sun has been shining most of the day and it makes such a difference. Another day and I'll be ready for more rain! I wanted something sweet when I...
