Here is a picture of my wife, Rose, and me created by our youngest grand child, Phoebe. She is in second grade.
Thanks to @craigo3154 for his help during my vacation in Central America.
My parents taught me that I could do anything that I was willing to work for. They also gave me the most important gift that any child should receive, I always knew that my parents loved me.2 -
The top photo shows the trunk of an enormous tropical tree called ceiba.
The second photo is of one variety of liche which the Costa Ricans call mamon China.
My report:
Tracking: ok
Calories: under by 300+
Exercise: a recovery day of 20 minutes of walking1 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. 2 mile dog walk
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
What I learned from my parents:
Respect your elders
Work hard
Turn the light off when you leave a room
And much more. I was lucky enough to have parents that were married until my father passed in 2002. My mum has never remarried or dated. She is a wonderful role model to me. She is coming to visit in 3 weeks and I can’t be more excited.0 -
Another good day!
10,312 steps, 3 hrs of activity
Calories were good, but I did chew up 23 calories of exercise cushion, still over 300 below the limit.
Everything logged.

I'm the oldest child of teenage parents, so what I learned was to take care of myself and siblings. I developed independence and industriousness. I don't thank them for that, but I made the most of the situation.
Yes x 3 today, under calories by a better margin, weightlifting this morning, tango this evening.0 -

My life lesson and biggest pet peeve. Don’t complain unless you’re doing something about it. If you can’t do anything about it then find a better way of looking at it. Life is only as good as you make it.1 -

@dejavuohlala thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately the Cleveland clinic heart center has been part of our lives for the last 13 years.
@LuluNacia congratulations on the scale being where you want it to be.!!
Three yesses for Sunday 11-19.
My dad was my idol. He grew up in orphanages and reform schools. Worked every job imaginable and through the help of the GI Bill went to college and ended up the a PHd. He ran a 1/2 way house for messed up kids as he had been. Way too many life lessons taught to list here.2
