Bless you Michelle for being the support for dh and also for being his Gal Friday! Oh that's a throw back from way too long ago. I'm still awaiting that day when we have our own home and I can expand my cooking by tooing and froing once again. I'm not complaining but I'd like to see the light at the end of the tunnel before the train going the opposite direction is the light. lol, lol, lol!
Wednesday 50 minutes walking after we, my sister and I, got home from BSF. It was foggy early so I waited to walk.

Sally, Your post made me think of the saying--I'm getting too old for this! Somethings also need changing in my life. I could easily stay busy without the office job so I won't be calling it the cherry on the top of the cake anytime soon. LOL back at ya Wednesday, It snowed today but not enough to have to shovel. 9,834 Steps. No Yoga because I keep falling asleep instead in my compfy chair at night lately. 4 Days HOF/SHOF

LOL, LOL, LOL falling asleep instead in my comfy chair... If I had one here I would actually use it. No snow in Godley but we did drive to Costco near Fort Worth and spent an hour there shopping which was fun. Filled up my sister's car with gas first, bought more than I should have but got everything in the Frig & freezer and the extra bedroom has the 3 pallets of water plus dh's beer. DH took a few wrong turns out of Costco and we ended up taking over an hour to get home. I prayed the whole way home because I had less than 10% battery left after using my phone for the drive to Costco and then home. God was good and we got to Godley and dh said I could turn my phone off because he knew his way home from there. PHEW! Life on the edge is what I will name the book I will write when this journey is done. Blessings to you and your husband sweet friend Thursday 50 minutes walking the ranch this morning in perfect weather. 5 Days HOF/SHOF

Sally, I grew up in a town where we never lost our bearings since all we had to do was look up to spot one of the mountain ranges and because of that I had no fear of getting lost UNTIL I went to Europe with DH. I could so relate to your story about the wrong turns!
Thursday - 12,250 Dog Walking Steps. More snoozing in my compfy chair. Tonight I am going to try going to sleep earlier so I can stay awake after dinner.

Michelle, I come to this sight late tonight and all I can do is smile with your posts. Snoozing in your comphy chair sounds blissful. DH and the dog went to bed over an hour ago so I will crawl in shortly and push them around so I have room to sleep. I have no problem staying awake after they go to bed because I get the 5th wheel to my self then. 50 minutes walking the ranch this morning. And then we got the Tornado watch this afternoon but none dropped by. Oh well, maybe next time? Friday 6 Days HOF/SHOF

Sally, I like staying up late also because I have no responsibilities then. I hadn't really thought about why I do it. Interesting.....
After MANY years of sharing the bed with miscellaneous dogs I outlawed them and their dirt and their bed hog ways. These dogs live like royalty including having very nice DOG BEDS to sleep in. After a while they seemed to have overcame the psychological trauma of mean mommy putting her foot down LOL.

Saturday 55 minutes walking the ranch avoiding the water ruts in the roads and avoiding muddy spots. My comfy chair is in the PakRat pod in Las Vegas. When we got Bela she slept in a crate and then had her own bed in the walking closet. When we got the RV, She slept in her bed there. When dh got back from Ohio, she was sleeping with him all the time so when they got back, since we have a RV King I was not going to change the dynamic. However, when we get to our forever home, the line will be drawn again and dh can choose,me or the dog. 7 Days HOF/SHOF

Monday - Walking, Yoga HOF/SHOF 2 Days Whoa...I can just see that happening in my head and what a vision. Are you a closet trapeze artist? That's an image I will have to construct. Blond or brunet? Long lean on your flying machine? With feathers or lots of sparkles on your tight fitting flesh leotard. I'm getting close my friend! Thank heaven I'm in the woods with lots of time to envision this fete. )) Monday 50 minutes walking two airports and looking for our son-in-laws truck upon our arrival in the PNW to rain. He parked it on the top floor of the airport parking garage and we arrived after 9:00 pm in the dark. Found it and thankful we know the way to their place from the airport. Tuesday 50 minutes walking the route I used to walk with my granddaughter in the stroller. She's in school now. Off to Ohio tomorrow. 3 Days HOF/SHOF

Tuesday 12,538 Steps and Yoga. Sally--what would I do without you! I was sitting in DH's office reading my book waiting rather endlessly for my car to get repaired and realized that what I needed to do was get up and walk. I spent 30 minutes sort of power walking all around the reception area and his office. Your posts about airport walking were just the thing to get me going!!!
