    went to another park and walked for 90 min with a friend- feet are hurting some but otherwise feel good. Need to figure out a little dinner-at 760 cal. for the day so far. I wish she was available to walk more often like we used to.
    I miss getting out and moving while catching up.

    We had a long conversation with our son today. He was at home with our grandson. DDIL was out for a girls day with good friends. We talked about a visit to them. At this time the Corona Virus is more active in their area than we expected.
    l
    We have been planning to visit them to babysit our grandson while DDIL & our son are in the hospital for the birth. Corona Virus there seems to be worrisome. We will have to make decisions as things develop this fall. We think the new baby will be born some time in November. Keeping my fingers crossed & praying that everything goes well.

    Allie,

    The more exquisitely wonderful the memories, the more exquisitely we feel the loss. I am both sorry for your current pain and glad for your amazing memories of times past. (((Hugs)))

    Heather,

    Love love love the photo of exuberant grown up son in Hove.

    Action for Happiness Calendar

    "This month's theme: Self Care September

    Self-care isn't selfish, it's essential. No-one's perfect. But so often we compare our insides to other people's outsides. This month we're encouraging everyone to be kinder to themselves (as well as others), especially when things go wrong. Self-care increases our resilience and helps us get more out of life. It also helps us accept others as they are too."

    We did!

    We went to the 150th anniversary of Tasmanian railways to look at (and ride) the trains and models. :)

    And then we exercised ... I cycled inside and ran on the treadmill.

    Allie - Getting involved with the senior center might be a good idea. I have a friend who delivers meals on wheels for our local senior center a couple of days a week. My neighbor did the same until her health put a stop to it. People in our community are wearing masks in public and socializing is generally outdoors with appropriate social distancing.

    Not the recipe tutorials for me, but ... read a book, go for a walk or bicycle ride, visit the beach, take photos ...

    :)Allie, looking at the Senior Center for activity and companionship sounds like a great idea. I used to dance at a Senior Center and saw all the happy people and the activity schedule. You're bound to find something you like to do and people you'll enjoy being with.

    :'( Right now my line dance class is on hiatus because of Covid restrictions (we can't dance in masks, and masks are necessary indoors in groups), but many other activities continue.

    <3Katla, That is disturbing news about Covid possibly creating a problem for your trip to welcome your new grandchild.

    :) I got the newsletter from our local Project Linus chapter. The chapter has received over 1300 quilted and knitted blankets so far in 2021

    :)Heather, what a happy picture of your son.

    1st place has been saving up his rides and made one big entry. He is now at 2069.63 … that means I have 300.54 miles now that I have to do before this coming Wednesday to catch up to him. Ugh…I could do it if I rode 100 miles for today, Sunday and Monday but do I want to?? I dunno…. Sad face sore butt.

    Would that all be inside?

    I've done heaps of 100 mile days outside but I don't know if I'd have the motivation to do it inside!!
