Why is it that if you're not feeling so good to begin with, it always gets worse on a Friday. I spoke to the advice nurse this morning about my cough and congestion. She told me (among other things) to drink hot tea with lemon and honey. If I ever eat or drink anything with honey they should know I'm delirious! I absolutely can't stand honey, never could. It is way too sweet to begin with.
Joe emailed me to see if I was up for a walk on the trail and I figured, why not. I hoped I'd feel better out in the fresh air, and I did. His youngest daughter, Keira, went along with us but since she is definitely not a walker, she opted to ride in a stroller! We walked the same distance as before - about 3 miles round trip. We stopped for a longer period, and watched as two horse patrol ladies came close to where we were. Of course Joe and I had to go meet the horses, but Keira wasn't having any of that. There was a mare and a big, big male horse - didn't get in the right spot to determine if he was a stallion, but I doubt he was. He had such a beautiful nature, really a sweet boy.
This is the side trail we take back to the parking lot.
We used to live across the street from the houses along the fence line to the left.

I'm feeling much better after the walk and may try the gym later on. I certainly don't feel so great just sitting around at home by myself. I just won't give any hugs - that's a big order and it's difficult to see my kids & grandkids without hugs.
- My Time Hasn't Come (i Hope)
I had a minor scare yesterday evening - actually, I thought I might die, literally. I won't go into details, but as I sat there thinking, well, "I was ok with reaching 75 and even hoped I might do 80, but if it's my time then it's my...
- Ride 'em Cowgirl!
I was up and out pretty early for me on a Saturday; we had a half hour drive from Jeannie's house. With a 5 and an 8 yr old in the back seat, this is how it went most of the way: You're looking at me! I'm not looking at you, I'm...
- Just When You Think You're Fine
I've been feeling great lately, and gaining a little more energy each day. Last night I was relaxing in my recliner and decided to take my blood pressure - I really wanted to find out what my resting heart rate was. The bp rate was just...
- Stay Home For A Change
I decided that today I would stay home and get some work done that I've been putting off doing. Three loads of laundry was at the top of my list. I pulled a clean bath towel from the linen cupboard this morning and it was line-dried, stiff...
- Back On The Trail
I parked my car at a lot a few miles further along the trail and walked about 2-1/2 miles, which is 5 miles round trip. My legs are hurting, and I can't understand why they should since I walk a lot to begin with. The sun was...
