I sure took two steps back last night. Jeannie came by and took me over to the gym closest to where I live, and we had a great workout. I didn't realize how big the place is and how much it has to offer, and probably would never have gone exploring on my own. I must have worked out with a vengeance because sometime in the middle of the night I was as sick as a dog! (Now where does that old expression come from? I tried to think of an alternative but can't come up with one. Apologies to all the dogs out there!) I'm ok now but I didn't get out of bed until close to 9 am.
Ara gets in just before 1 pm today. She left Philly early this morning and has a change of planes in SLC. I'm afraid to check the weather in either place, and just hope everything goes smoothly for her.
This is me with two of my granddaughters taken last Sunday. They always make me smile. (Click photo to enlarge.)
I love my new eyeglasses but need to go back to Walmart Optical and get them adjusted. They hurt my head after wearing them for a while. Even driving near a Walmart parking lot at this time of year is a no-no for me, and hurts my head just thinking about it!
Jeanne and I looked over an album of photos from November 1999 when we made a trip to Ireland. I had already been there and decided to move there soon, and this was just a fun trip for Jeannie, Ara, and me. The pictures brought back so many good memories for both of us, and I realized that 14 years from now people won't sit around looking at old photos on their iPhones. My own opinion is that we lose a lot when we rely on technology to keep our treasured memories. There is nothing like paging through a photo album in my opinion, or even going through a shoe box of pictures. I have always been sentimental, and I suppose now I'm turning into a sentimental old fool :-)
We are supposed to have a high of 67 degrees today! That's really getting up there but it won't last long and then go down about 10 degrees. This weather see-saws back and forth but that's okay - it's all good.
I think I should get dressed before Noon today, which doesn't give me all that much time!
- Falling - I Hate It!
I did it again - lost my balance and took a painful tumble. I was at the gym with Jeannie last night and on the treadmill. After about 5 minutes I decided to remove my fleece pullover, which I do every time I'm on the treadmill. ...
- I'm One For One!
I'm one for one with Costco. I just got my bill for membership which amounts to $110 for the coming year. I have the Executive Gold Star membership, which gives me an annual rebate of a certain percentage of my purchases for the year. ...
- The Heat Is Killing Me!
Even though it's a good 10 degrees cooler than earlier in the week, it is still in the mid to upper 90's, and I'm just sweltering! According to the weather reports, the overnight temps will consistently go down over the next few...
- I'm All Talked Out!
A gentleman walked up on my porch at about 12:30 this afternoon to give me some news about the Park as well as the HOA. We ended up talking for about 2 hrs. about RVing, camping, Nevada, places to go, and I can't even remember it...
- Waiting Out The Heat
It's still unbearably hot, but after the triple digits all this week we will get back into the 90's. I never thought I'd be relieved to be in 90 degree weather. Have I said how much I hate hot weather? I dropped...

One step forward, two back
