Minneapolis Trip
Aug 15/10So we didn’t get on the road quite as early as we wanted, mostly cuz we stayed up way too late Saturday night and needed the sleep.Anyway, by 10 am we were on our way. Went through Emerson crossing. Only took about 10 minutes. Checked in the Canadian side first to register our camera…
April showers anyone?
Anyone else think it’s a little odd that we’ve had all this warm weather and no rain to speak of? I mean, the warm weather is great and after last year, more that welcome. But I’m old enough to have seen this show before.Either we get really warm and dry all season (can anyone say…
Wow….Time Flies
So…been over a year since posting. I remember when I used to cut hair for a living and I’d ask my older clientele if things slowed down as they got older. They’d always say no. In fact it was almost emphatic. Days, they would say, just go by faster and faster. I’m here to tell…
Spring is coming….I can feel it….
Wow, that was quite the long cold spell we had in Dec/Jan! I guess it wouldn’t have been quite so bad but we had all that wind with the cold.The good news is we’re starting to get longer days and the cold snaps are just that, short snaps. Lots of days with bearable temps.Feeling pretty…
Iron…man…
Wow! Got through a whole day at work with no ill effects. This iron stuff seems to be working. Maybe we’ll continue to take it forever and ever and ever…. Crazy busy day at work on New Years Eve. Lots of people looking for last minute deals. Felt good to get through a day normally…
Some answers….finally….
I think I’ve mentioned that I’m not a patient patient. I’ve been trying to spend more time at work and lately my batteries have really been running dry.Last Saturday for example, was clipping along just fine until 4 pm….then bang! Ran into a wall. Not literally, just my body felt incredibly weak. Stuck it out…
Come and gone…..
Well, Christmas has come and gone for another year. We did things a little different this year. Our son could only make it out on the 24th so we opened gifts that night instead of Christmas morning. Didn’t feel quite right….We did the traditional watching of the movie Christmas Story, you know, the one with…
Man! It’s cold out there!
What a great day to stay inside yesterday! Very relaxing. Spent the better part of the day in front of the tv watching movies and sports. Just what the Dr ordered. Talked to my older brother Rick. He just got back from Arizona….to this! Bit of a shock to say the least. His oldest daughter…
Still slowly….slowly…
Spent some time at work everyday this week. Still can’t get a full day in, but it feels good to contribute.Had another followup appt with Dr this week. Everything looks good. He told me it could be another couple of months to heal properly. Apparently it was a bigger procedure than anyone figured. So we…
