Before loading the washing machine this morning I did a final check on pockets, and found a $10 bill. The feeling was like winning 10 bucks on a lottery ticket!
Jeannie & I walked at Mather Field yesterday evening, and later on in the evening I took my blood pressure. I was surprised at how good the reading was - 117/68. It sometimes is in the 130-134/75-80 range and I think it must be true that walking helps keep blood pressure low.

- Get A Move On!
That's what I keep telling myself. I plan to leave in about 10-12 days from now, and will just get there the easiest way possible, hopefully not over I-80. I had vowed I would never again drive through Bakersfield or Barstow, but I may...

First of all, I'd like to wish everyone a happy holiday, however and whatever you celebrate. Thanks to you folks for all the comments to my post about rising blood pressure. I would like to make a comment on the drug store blood pressure machines....

I haven't had much to write about the past few days. I finished the only Christmas shopping I will be doing, and that is for my grandchildren. My Christmas present to my children is that as a retired old lady, I can live by myself and not be dependent...
