Posted on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 by Paul

It is Wednesday, and that normally means we are off to the gym, but today, Mary went alone to face the onslaught from the personal training staff.  I stayed home to work with Jeff’s kids so the plumbers could get … Continue reading →

More Rain And a Lot Of Fun!

Posted on Tuesday, February 17, 2026 by Paul

The morning was wet, and the rain gauge proved it, showing we got 1 5/8 inches of rain yesterday!  In addition, it was colder than a well-digger’s butt (a favorite saying of my Dad).  We turned up the heat and … Continue reading →

The Rain Cometh Down!

Posted on Monday, February 16, 2026 by Paul

Today we got 1 and 5/8th inches of rain! Today we expected rain, and the weatherman nailed it.  He said 9:00 am, and it started at 9:01—basically wizard-level accuracy.  Of course, that’s the exact moment we were headed out for … Continue reading →

Colleen Goes Home!

Posted on Sunday, February 15, 2026 by Paul

We just dropped Colleen off, and we already miss her!  The 11:30 am drop-off was perfectly timed.  She was only with us for a week.  At this rate, we might have to install a revolving door.  Luckily, she’ll be back … Continue reading →

We were up and moving early and joined Colleen at the breakfast room table for a pot of coffee and a recreation of last night’s family dinner. Colleen is beside herself with excitement to be going to her mom’s birthday … Continue reading →

The Week Has Become Weak!

Posted on Friday, February 13, 2026 by Paul

We cinched up our sweats and marched straight into the mouth of the dragon—because nothing says “self-care” like voluntarily entering a building where strangers hurt you on purpose. First, we rode the stationary bikes at breakneck speed.  Next week I’m … Continue reading →

Time For “Girls Night Out!”

Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2026 by Paul

We have no idea what happened, but we didn’t get up until almost 8:15 am.  Apparently, “lounging around reading and watching TV” is an extreme sport—and we absolutely crushed it. We enjoyed our morning coffee with Colleen, who demonstrated the … Continue reading →

Mid-Week, Nada!

Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2026 by Paul

We were up and moving early because I had a blood test scheduled at 10:00 am and a carotid artery ultrasound at 11:00 am.  Even though I practiced for the blood test, it is always an experience. We drove about … Continue reading →

We met up with Colleen in the kitchen around 7:00 am American time.  Colleen is still three hours ahead of us.  We had a cup of coffee and three bananas.   After yesterday’s meal, none of us were hungry, so my … Continue reading →

The Weak Begins But We will Be Strong After The Gym Visit

Posted on Monday, February 9, 2026 by Paul

Colleen was up because she is still three hours ahead.  Colleen wanted to go to Dunkin’ Donuts for her caffeine fix, so, being rather brilliant, I sent Colleen in The Silver Fox with instructions to get lattes for Mary and … Continue reading →
