Ailing, a Bit
For the first time in my life, I’m beginning to think that I may actually be getting a little old. I’m in my late 50’s. Two Sundays ago, I moved too quickly, and did something to my hip. Now, in … Continue reading →
The Treadmill
We recently purchased a NordicTrack treadmill. It’s a little pricy, but we expect to use it as long as we can, and if anything goes wrong with it for five years (extended warranty), they will come and fix it in … Continue reading →

Texting About Lizards
This is a text exchange between myself and Texas Grandma that happened today. Hers are in italics, mine are not: Caught a lizard at Moms, will need you to get it out at lunch. Ok. I’ll bring my gun Oh … Continue reading →
