Day 265

My family likes to go to the Plum Garden restaurant when we have something to celebrate. Today was Robyn’s birthday, and we were once again gathered around the hibachi cooking table. A meal here combines food with entertainment, and if you are able to catch a ball of rice in your mouth, you become part […]

Day 264

I’m one of those annoying people who considers every day a gift from God, and every warm, sunny day after Labor Day an extra special gift, like that gift that comes in a big box, perfectly wrapped in foil paper, tied with matching ribbon, and topped with a huge colorful bow. Today was a day just like that. […]

Day 261

Today was a supercalifragilisticexpialadocious day in Rochester. Almost 3,000 marathoners had perfect weather to take in the scenery as they ran through the city. The Buffalo Bills beat the Oakland Raiders 38-35 in a jumping out of your seat with excitement game. And in my world, my family was blessed by a shower of gifts […]

Day 260

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’m still in a cleaning mode. After dusting, vacuuming and mopping, I decided to work in the yard for three hours. And why doesn’t your back hurt while you’re working, but only after you’re done and go to sit down? Anyway, with all the bending my pedometer kept […]

Day 259

The change of seasons always seems to make you feel like cleaning. Usually when this happens I call my friend Faith, and she talks me out of it, and then we sit down and have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. No such luck today. I started in on my sewing closet. […]

Day 257

It was a great day for walking on the canal path, but you could tell that fall is in the air. The ducks were hunkered down on the bank instead of swimming in the water. Isn’t it funny how they can twist their necks around to sleep? I heard the first flock of geese honking […]
