Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2026 by Paul

It is Thursday, and when I saw the wall clock, I jumped out of bed thinking it was gym time, but alas, I was off by one day!  This week, we did Tuesday and Friday, avoiding the days we went … Continue reading →

Saturday Was Slow!

Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2026 by Paul

Today is Saturday, and we have little planned!  We had our coffee and headed to the yard to do some serious looking! Zachary and his gang joined us around noon and brought us bean-and-cheese burritos for lunch.  We all sat … Continue reading →

Off We Go Into The Wild Grey Yonder

Posted on Friday, May 15, 2026 by Paul

The temperature was in the mid-60s when we woke up, so the first thing I did was rush the trash cans to the curb like I was entering them in a last-minute parade—because, naturally, I forgot to do it last … Continue reading →

Mother’s Day 2026

Posted on Sunday, May 10, 2026 by Paul

We were up at O-dark-thirty, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and ready to spend a wonderful day together.  We had no plans until 6:00 pm, so the day was open to work together in the yard, a task we both enjoy. Mary received … Continue reading →

Posted on Saturday, May 9, 2026 by Paul

We examined Mary’s Book of Knowledge and determined that we had nothing scheduled except work around the house, mostly in the backyard.  We began with a trip to our favorite store, Home Depot, where we loaded up on new storage … Continue reading →

We Are Glad WGND Was Yesterday, The High Today Is Only 69!

Posted on Sunday, May 3, 2026 by Paul

We were up and had coffee by 8:00 am, then recounted yesterday’s activities.  Mary reviewed the pictures to make sure they were not overexposed (if you catch my drift)! I forgot to mention that in college, I had a job … Continue reading →

We were up and going early because we had to be at Amy’s doctor’s office in Newport Beach for an eye checkup.  We went down via the backroads and had it in less than an hour.  We were about 15 … Continue reading →

It’s Ouchday… We Started Peak Performance

Posted on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 by Paul

What is Ouchday, you ask?  It’s the day—or days—we head to the gym for a little thing called a “workout.” I prefer to call it a sweat session, muscle mayhem, cardio catastrophe, or a full-blown pain parade. Today, I drew … Continue reading →

We Are Off And Running!

Posted on Tuesday, April 21, 2026 by Paul

I was feeling pretty good this morning and strutted around the house, looking for things to add to my “to-do” list.  After 81 years, I am getting this “strutting” down to a science with my dark glasses, jeans jacket, and … Continue reading →
