Wednesday 12,279 Steps and Yoga 4 Days HOF/SHOF
Sally, Hope all is well and you are having a fun week.
Today I worked on walking with intention, picking up my speed, concentrating on purpose filled steps. Each morning I am going to do this except for on my errand day. It's incredible what a brisk walk will do for my daily outlook.

Way to go Michelle. When I walk the ranch, I walk on gravel, uneven terrain up and down hill and around the cow and horse poop along the way plus I'm on the lookout for snakes in the grassy area. It's been an awesome week. DH and I had dental appts this afternoon after not seeing a dentist since Sept 1, 2021. All is well with me but DH has some teeth problems that need to be resolved. It's only money, right? Monday 55 minutes these post's are some where in cyber space... Tuesday 55 minutes Wednesday 55 minutes OK found M-W on the July thread. Opps! Thursday 55 minutes walking the ranch alone but listening to a podcast. 4 Days HOF/SHOF

Friday 72 minutes walking the ranch this morning early and then doing laundry plus cleaning up my nieces kitchen from last night's pad Thai dinner she served all 9 of us. It was good. Since I was doing laundry using her washer and dryer and she took my sister, her son and mother on a field trip that I declined to take, it was a perfect thing to surprise her with, upon their return. It was one thing I could do just for her. Day 5 HOF/SHOF
Side note, dh figured out our tabs on the RV expired in July so we scrambled late yesterday figuring out the process here in Texas. He got the vehicle inspection done this morning and hopefully this afternoon we can get it licensed here in Texas as he's driving it to Ohio on Tuesday. I fly to Seattle for three sleeps and then fly to Columbus Friday. It's our granddaughter's 14th birthday. And we will be staying with them for a while as the kiddos return to school and they have been helping our daughter and son-in-law with their doggie daycare business. I get to be in charge of cooking and running errands while the three of them run the business. I'm the lucky one.

Monday 60 minutes walking the ranch and getting dh packed up for his trip to Ohio. Plus making fired rice for our grand nephew's 14th birthday. Tuesday 70 minutes helping get the final items in the RV for dh's 6am departure for Ohio, opening the gate and securing it after he left and then getting my. steps in. Then scurrying around to get myself ready to fly to Ohio as my friend in Washington sent a text stating she had a flu bug and didn't think I should fly in to visit her. I flew to Columbus instead of Seattle. Dh arrives tomorrow in the RV. Chief cook and errand running for the next few weeks. 3 Days HOF/SHOF
That makes sense, Michelle. I'll have to come up with some clever names for the Ranch myself. Good thinking!

That was outrageous fun!!! I ripped off my shoes and danced while singing every word--botched about 1/2 a sentence and that was all. My main occupation as a teenager was to memorize every popular song including the back up vocals. My older brother had a band that played at the high school dances--such memories
Wednesday: 12,935 Steps. Today was my first day working on cleaning up the latest addition to the firebreaks. Definitely ranch hand choring... 4 Days HOF/SHOF
