- September 16, 2024 - Back from Ocala, FL. Very stressful week.
- September 7, 2024 - Played pickleball today. A very fun way to get exercise. I really need it, my cardiovascular fitness is below par. Even weekly sessions of swimming and almost daily fixed recumbent exercise are not good enough. It is my plan to play pickleball as frequently as possible during the cool fall season. BTW, my 'lifestyle change' diet is working. No sweets! I have lost twelve pounds in a little over a month. Wahoo!
- August 31, 2024 - Our sweet Dolcie passed away yesterday. She adopted us in 2008. She was a beautiful terrier, mahogany, with white boots and a white tip on her tail. She loved everyone and everyone loved her. The vets and techs all said she smiled at them during her visits. We all thought she was a miniture greyhound when she showed up one weekend in the fall of 2008. She could run so fast she would get lost. My football player son Billy was home for his first weekend and she just came up to join our outdoor party. She stayed and became part of the family. (We tried to find the owner with no luck. She was even chipped but it was not registered.) It still hurts today and probably forever. I am already remembering all of the beautiful gestures she did for everyone she met.
- July 8, 2024 - We have mostly recovered from Hurricane Beryl. The tree debris is still piled in our front yard along with many of our neighbors. Where's FEMA?
