Jeanne came over this evening and we went walking on the bike trail starting from behind my house, and all the way to Fair Oaks which is the village of my former apartment. It was a nice walk and on part of it we saw wild turkeys as well as deer. Jeannie emailed me a picture of the cake Donald made for the soccer party.
The team's name is "Flash Dash", and Autumn wanted the letters saying "Super Awesome Job!" on the cake.
I will probably be stiff and sore tomorrow from the walk, but I know I need to do it more often. We plan to meet on Tuesday evening when Jeannie gets off work and will walk at Mather Field
Steve brought Liam over this morning and dug out the world's ugliest rosebush. Now I need to put something in its place, maybe in a large pot that will be easier to take care of. The big trouble is that I don't water anything but I guess I'll have to change that in the future when I'm in the area.
It has gotten cold enough that I've shut my windows and am still shivering, so I got the little electric heater going. Steve is going to pick up the materials at Home Depot for coating the roof and covering the swamp cooler, and then I will have him light the pilot light on the heater before I leave for NY. I figure I'll set it on 50 or 55, which should protect pipes in the event of a real cold spell.
Enough for this evening - I'm heading off to sit in front of the little heater.
- Hot Water Today, Maybe?
I wrote yesterday about the problem with my water heater. I couldn't figure out how to reset the pilot light, so I just made the best of it but I will have to re-run my dishwasher today. I went to the Park office first thing to complain about...
- Busy Day On Tuesday
Early this morning my son Steve brought Liam over to my house, and his mom Meg picked him up after work. We had a great time. Liam turned 4 in August and is interested in paleontology and Teen-aged Mutant Ninja Turtles. His interest in Paleontology...
- I'm Home
I'm back home tonight after spending a couple of nights at Steve & Meg's house. It has been truly wonderful to be taken care of by the family all this time since my hospitalization. They've also been stuffing food into me,...
- Back On Freedom's Soil!
I got a call at 6:00 am this morning from my son, who had arrived in Bangor, Maine. He wasn't there long before flying to Texas for about a week debriefing and then will be coming home to New York. I feel like a ton of weight has...
- 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...
