Last week I wrote about how I consider WAIT an acronym for While Anxious I Trust.” But while I’m waiting and trusting, it helps to have something constructive to do with my hands. This week I started making a baby quilt. You might wonder why I’ve waited this long, but I was waiting to find […]

October turned out to be a good walking month even though I was forced to go back to the treadmill on some of those rainy days. But I met my goal, 21 out of 26 days or 81% of the time, and my daily average was 11,025 steps. Wahoo! Bring on November. Day 305: 11,010 Steps […]

If at all possible, you’ve got to go see Million Dollar Quartet that’s playing at the Auditorium Theater. It’s such a feel good show. The singer/musician/actors who play Elvis and Johnny Cash are so good it’s spooky. With no intermission, it’s 2 hours of almost nonstop music. It’s the story of how Elvis, Cash, Carl Perkins […]

I dug out my earmuffs and walked over to the doctor’s office this morning for my flu shot. How’s that for multi-tasking? I get a flu shot every year, but this year I was informed by my daughter that anyone without a flu shot will not be able to hold the baby. Here’s hoping for […]
