Well Dee and Mike left around 9'ish yesterday morning so it's a little quiet around here. We had a grand time entertaining them after nearly 30 years since they were last being here in Florida. Many changes since they were here with their girls who were middle school ages. They of course come regularly to the cabin a couple times a summer and we visit them at least once a year for the past decades in Woodstock. We did some beach time, lots of hiking or walking and just plain sitting around talking old times and modern issues which face us as we grow older and more hopefully wiser. Bonnie their Jack Russell terrier is 13 years young and is very smart and oh my what a moocher when ever she hears any talk or evident of food being eaten or prepared.
After they left we of course vacuumed, changed sheets and did a once over in the house and three loads of laundry. I hung two outside to dry on the clothesline. The temps were perfect for this event. I hand watered the gardens while Nancy had a dermatology appointment and then we had a lite lunch when she got home. I headed out to the library for a couple new reads and then sat outside in the shade of the oak and read for a couple hours before starting to put together my tax info. I'll finish that up in a day or so. We decided since the air had cooled down a little to get in a couple mile walk through the hood. Our calves and legs were sore due to the walking in the loose sand at the beach and the bottom of our feet were a mite tender as well. We did the hike and I broke a sweat for the first time since becoming ill.
I did fine with no shortness of breath and the O2 levels stayed up above 95%. I'm going to ride my bike today to work on losing some of this added fat around the spare tire and we decided to cut portions when eating and to cut back on some desserts or sugars. We both have added some girth around the belly, LATER
