Amen!
We were off to the gym at 7:15 am! We got there bright and early and rode the bikes for 30 minutes before the workout! Finally, I could go through the hour of the workout without coughing myself silly. The young lady was impressed with this ol’ fart’s ability to bend and do pushups and lift weights (I was pretty amazed myself).
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit.” –Aristotle.
I saw Mary doing body bends with several other ladies and thought I heard her mumble, but I couldn’t determine what she said.

Oh My! An early session at the gym was underway!
From the gym, we went home and waited until 10:30 am to Los Alamitos, where Mary had a scan for her medical checkup. I stayed in the car and watched my favorite Facebook “Doggie Reels.”
We were done at 11:30 am, so we called Vicky to join us at Old Ranch for lunch! We spent a good hour laughing and giggling; she is a fantastic lady we all adore!

She didn’t flinch when I said lunch could not be over $3.00 (she ordered iced water).
We have a plan for the weekend and a potential plan to get Marsha back to civilization.

No comments about the horse!
Scout was finally ready to hear about the trip. For the first two days, he missed his Auntie Irene.

He is our baby!
We discovered that on the 9th, we are hosting the StarlightersBoard at our home, so Mary began the “to-do” list, and I am ALWAYS very helpful!
We watched a movie and went to bed. We were going to go to the hot tub, but it was too cold by the time we got off the phone with everyone! We decided to watch a movie entitled “Bird On A Wire” and hit the hay around 9:30 pm. Summary: Rick Jarmin (Mel Gibson) is put in witness protection after he helps the FBI bust drug dealer Eugene Sorenson (David Carradine). Fifteen years later, he is living with a new identity as a gas station attendant in Detroit. When an old flame named Marianne (Goldie Hawn) stops at the gas station and recognizes him, his cover gets blown. The recently released Sorenson finds out, and Jarmin and Marianne must flee across the country with the vengeful Sorenson in hot pursuit.
