It is Going to Cease
Today Dennis and I agreed the commotion since last Friday needs to cease. Today is Wednesday and we have been hopping for the last six days.
The trip up north was followed by family visiting from Arizona that left St. James this morning after breakfast. In between, I had a stitcher’s luncheon yesterday. Today after company left, Dennis and I headed to Mankato for the Korean’s luncheon meeting at the VFW. How could I refuse to go with Dennis! Many of the spouses have been attending right along. Today, there was a wife of a deceased Korean veteran that wrote her own songs honoring that forgotten war. Being in her 80s her folk songs were very timely and creative.
We did stop for fuel as the price was $2.96 a gallon. I had noted when we left town it was $3.14 a gallon. What a difference in price over a 45 mile distance.
As we were cruising along 169 heading home, Dennis pulled into the Welsh Heritage Apple and Pie Shop. Dennis felt I have been doing a bang up job this year with very few treats and now as of late with catering to his family, a pie was in order. Of course I let him pick the flavor. Had I been left on my own, a Sour Cream and Raisin pie would have been in the back seat of the car. Having had his share of raisins donated by the Red Cross while in Korea, he no longer eats them. Who doesn’t like an Apple Pie. The best part is that they adhere to using the old fashioned lard recipe for their crusts. You can’t beat the flakey flavor . . . just like Lena used to use.
As I had mentioned commotion, my body needs to get back to the PT that my home routine allows. Way too much sitting and being immobile. The left side of my body takes on the tendencies of mobility much like shortly after the stroke in February. The saying “if you don’t use it, you loose it” has truth. Time to buckle down with the walking. Even the studio has merit with PT.
I checked our calendar when we got home and September is clear. No doctor appointments for either one of us. Yippee!
