Wednesday Morning Dec 7th

 Well today is an infamous day as the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor to bring the USA into WWII. I've been to the spot where the Arizona battleship is entombed with thousands of sailors. Such hallow ground/water as you could still see oil bubbles from the ship coming to the surface back in the 60's.

I started Tuesday much different than normal as there was no pickle ball due to Nancy having some eye problems and we were concerned it maybe her retina; so she was able to get in to see the doctor with out an appointment but she had to be there right away. We were ready to go at 8 AM and she actually got out around 10:30 with good news. She has no tear in the retina, no glaucoma or macular degeneration which is fabulous. These issues are a condition associated with aging. I too had some of those same issues but with a certain eye vitamin, mine have corrected themselves. She now needs to take those same vitamins. The vegetable kale is another great item for eye health that produces lutein which is the main ingredient in the vitamins.

We came back and I hand watered the gardens and then took a several mile ride on my bike to get the exercise I daily need to stay fit and help control weight gain. We finished up the leftover Zuppa soup or I did and she had a sandwich. She was in the kitchen finishing up her cookie baking project for this year as we hand them out to all the neighbors, post man and garbage guys. She made 9 different cookies and while I only sampled one cookie from one batch the smell made me add pounds it was that delicious, oh well. I'm holding at 192 which is 10 pounds down from when we got back from the mountains and I'm wanting to hit some where in the 180's if possible. She made a new pasta dish for supper which is not helpful but oh so delicious.

During supper Betsy came by for her share of the cookies and to have some pasta as she has made this a couple times. After then cleanup I tuned into the Lightning game and they lost to the Red Wings at home and then it was lights out for me, LATER
