Counting my Blessings

   Just tried to talk to Joanna but bad signal on her end cut the call short. Sounds like North Carolina is about to get a storm.  I have been hearing and following all of the dire weather reports from up north.  I always feel a little cheated about missing all the action, but this winter has been so ugly thus far! Glad to be where I am, sitting in a pair of shorts with my whitey legs exposed and enjoying a sundowner.

     Here in Stuart today it was a ten!  First day I awoke to a life of relative ease in paradise.  The picture below shows my bunkmate of late, Beejay, at wake up time.  A great little friend!  After getting breakfast for the cats (we have two...a nice one and a mean one.) and then trolling on Facebook, I determined to do some local exploring.  I have been feeling stiff of late, especially the knees, so I set out to find a local gym to get limbered up.

     Along the way I had to stop by to see Rich and Ferne ( I need to get better at snapping photos).  What began as a quick visit to store my trailer in their yard soon became a few hours visiting and sipping tea on their front porch. They are wonderful company and I could easily have spent the entire day there. Before I knew it, we were driving out to have lunch.  Great idea Ferne!

     "O.K.," I thought. "This day is going along just splendid!"  But alas, around 2 o'clock we went our separate ways and I had to get back to my search for exercise. Traffic around here is intense during "the season", but eventually I found my way to a nice YMCA and limbered up. I am going to go every day this coming week and I bet it will really help. They even have a pool. OK, maybe I'm not speedo material...but at least I won't be walking around like the tin man!


PS: I just got bit by a mosquito!!!
