I am having a good day. I was able to increase my speed just a tad on the treadmill this morning and didn’t notice any difference! I will do my water bottle exercises after I finish this post.

We visited my husband, Harvey, at the nursing home this morning. Mostly it was pretty good. I got the idea of having him choose a water gun that also shoots LED lights, as he expressed interest in that the last time we were there, because I thought he might get a kick out of having a sketch and painting of it on his wall. He chose one he liked, and it will be a real challenge for me. I’ll do the best I can and hope he likes it…

The visit was heartbreaking at the end because he was asking about a pair of blue shorts and later about a wheelchair. He wanted to come home with us. The list of why that isn’t possible would fill a book, and we glossed over it as best we could, but the fact remains we simply can’t do it. He said he was comfortable and seemed glad to see us. 🥺

Brian and I spent some time at the cafe. I did a sketch for Father’s Day that I’ll paint later, and I’ll get started on the water gun tomorrow, since he wants me to bring it on Saturday. No pressure….

Brian took more pictures of the turtle puzzle. I took it apart today and put it out for adoption this afternoon. I opened the box and the Cheetah isn’t muffled anymore. The image of it is so good it looks like it should roar! I’ll start it soon.

My SIL is having a much-needed, much-earned time at the beach this week. You and I are the recipients of a wonderful virtual vacation because of her generosity in sending photos. I’m sharing three with you today of the fact that she can enjoy views of the sunrise AND the sunset from this place!

Droolworthy views to be sure!!!

All Dry So Far

Typhoon Regasa – Wikipedia

This has hit China, Taiwan, the Phillipines, and Vietnam, and is due to hit us with heavy rains for the next several days. So far, we’re good.

My bucket, plus towels, are as ready as they can be. I rolled up towels and put them across the sill of my windows with the bucket right there handy for wringing out soaked towels. I’m staying alert and hoping for the best. I really hope that people at street level don’t get flooded.

A shout-out to Murray, who is celebrating a birthday today. Her birthday was yesterday, but I wrote THIS MORNING to be able to time it so that it was still her birthday in the states. (Things get complicated when you live in different countries with different time zones.) She was surrounded by family and friends, lots of fun and good food she’s trying not to eat. (Does that sound familiar?) 😋. She is one of my favorite people in all the world, so I’m delighted that she had a good celebration. I love you, Murray!!!!

Unless it’s really a downpour later today, I’m planning to join Brian at the cafe for an iced mocha, and then later we’ll share dinner at my place. Hopefully, I can get the laundry on my balcony dry before a thunderstorm is forecast for around 3pm.

I’ve had a nice morning so far. I was able to increase both my walking speed and the incline % on the treadmill this morning. I’m starting to feel stronger and more balanced. I had a delicious breakfast and am feeling good.

I wish you a happy day – free from any dramatic weather – and filled with happy moments all day long.
