Butterfly Days

One year anniversary!

Today is July 18, 2012.  It is exactly one year ago to the day that I began my practice of taking a morning walk.  I am happy to say that I have not missed a single day in this practice.  I have gone out every day, rain or shine and walked.  I have had some walks that were somewhat shorter, but I usually walk from three quarters to a full mile each day.

Contrary to what I have been told, it does nothing for losing weight.  Yet, I stick to it, and I wonder if I will make a similar posting on July 18, 2013???

Aphelion

Today is Aphelion, the day the Earth is farthest from the sun.  I know that you can not wait until Perihelion!

Happy Birthday USA! Happy Birthday Vincent!

Today I have begun preparations for my 67th orbit of the sun. Having completed 66, I can tell you its been quite a ride. I have traveled over 39 billion miles on Spaceship Earth so far. It is so wonderful to be alive! This is starting off to be a wonderful year.

Finishing Touches

The counter top is going in right now.  Tomorrow the plumbing and the electric.  WOW, looks like we will  have kitchen tomorrow!!!

Some things just must stop....

On Saturday, I took a nasty spill in my kitchen.  I made a hard landing on my right arm (still sore), skinned my right knee -- I have not had a scab on my knee since I was a child.  My left thumb is sore and black and blue and my left ham-string is very achy.

Time for healing.  I am making progress, but I have learned at my age a fall like that is not in my best interest!
