We traveled the world, seeing six continents traveling with Crystal Cruises and riding everything from Camels to four-wheel hot rods!<\/p><\/div>\n

All night long, I remembered our adventures.\u00a0 We flew over the outback, hot air ballooned in mid-Australia,\u00a0 slid on leather pants in Germany in a salt mine, went through the Panama Canal five times,\u00a0 sailed in the Med and South Pacific,\u00a0 spent days in Singapore and walked miles in Toyoko, rode the Bullet Train,\u00a0 visited Big Ben, drank wine in France, and so much more. We saw the world; now, it was time to see home!\u00a0 That option is now gone.<\/p>\n

When I finally came out of my room around 7:00 AM, after another terrible evening, it was time to take action and walk! I guzzled my coffee and braced for the cold morning air. Out the door like a shot with my headphones listening to the Blaze radio, hat placed on top of my head, and the GPS Pacer software running.\u00a0 I easily did a mile in 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Not too bad after a two-year hiatus (In 2017 I walked 1000+ miles)<\/p><\/div>\n

This morning Colleen departed early to do some errands, and I was alone.\u00a0 Methinks Colleen is doing this on purpose to make sure I am OK alone and doing it a little more every day; she is sneaky in the most loving way!<\/p>\n

I was listening to Rush using my Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones when I saw a flash at the front door.\u00a0 It was Vicky, and she scared me to death.\u00a0 She visited for a while and began talking about Sue, and I just cried the whole time.\u00a0 Finally, I remember to pick up the iPhone and capture just a minute of her conversation.\u00a0 I wished I had the presence of mind to capture the whole thing!<\/p>\n
