27 weeks! How long until someone
will tell me to quit counting?
After my Close Encounter with the Deer Kind yesterday, I forgot to say that I’d been to my mother’s grave and she looked pretty as ever. I’ll have to post a picture of her stone one of these days.
I did my exercises this morning [...]

I had my thrill for the day on the way home from Wal*Mart this evening. I was almost here and running at a pretty good clip when I saw a deer moving into my lane. Thank God for my nimble little Honda Civic. I swerved and missed the deer by inches. That’s the first time [...]

It’s late! I’m going to make this short.
I didn’t get up until about 6:30 this morning. That didn’t leave any time for exercising. I did do LSE’s off and on today. I think it was either three sets or four. Anyway, that and power walking made up my exercise.
Breakfast was OJ, a white sapote, and [...]

I don’t have everything reinstalled but I’m sort of back in business.
Today is the first anniversary of my mother’s death. When I got up this morning, I thought how different today is. I wouldn’t wish her back unless she could be like she was when she enjoyed life. That’s not possible, so…
I exercised everything but [...]

I left my computer reloading Windows this morning. If I don’t update this evening, everyone will know why.

It’s futile but I keep thinking, “Tonight will be the night that I get to bed at a reasonable hour.” And then I don’t.
I did all my exercises this morning except for my eyes.
Breakfast was OJ, a mango, and a banana/blueberry/spinach smoothie. The smoothie was surprisingly good. I wasn’t sure about it when I threw [...]

My granddaughter set the alarm so she would get up this morning. When I was 10, I was up with the chickens.
Since most of the gifts had already been opened, it didn’t take long to finish the job. I got a devotional book from my sister, a neck pillow and mask (I’d opened those last [...]

I’m at my son’s place and it’s raining. I got here while it was still daylight which was nice. They’d just gotten home, themselves, so it worked out well.
On the way here, I stopped by the cemetery and took some pictures of my mother’s stone that was set just a few days ago.

Mother’s Stone
I think [...]

6 months today!
Isn’t that amazing! It doesn’t seem that long when I was feasting on cooked food and loving it but now it’s about as tempting as a pork chop would be. I can look at it and smell it but I don’t want it.

A Little Over One Month Raw

I’ve been [...]

26 weeks and counting!
It’s almost 11 and I’m not in bed yet. There were four young girls baptized this evening in a little town about 20 miles from where I work–opposite from home. I went and got drafted to play the piano. It was over fairly early but I had to eat when I got [...]
