Good Morning Bob, great to hear the good report. I am impressed the score went down. It is always good news when you can avoid hormone therapy. That is where my original Urologist and I fell out. He typically did it "to be safe" and didn't wish to discuss my concerns or his reasoning and got the axe. The Urologist I…

Good Morning It is indeed wonderful to hear of Sam being released from his beloved Physical Torture session and of Joanne's improvement and activity. We continue to seek her healing in prayer. Grilling here can be a challenge when the winds get gusty. Last night as I tried to get the coals going the winds gusted up to over…

Good Morning I decided to bake some bread yesterday and try a dutch crunch roll recipe I saw earlier this month. I don't do much baking the last couple of years since it was all packed away and stored when we remodeled and then delayed our move for a year. Being on Keto doesn't motivate my baking either. It was a more…

Good Morning Dave, I grew up on Long Island NY. We would say The Long Island Expressway, or The Belt Parkway etc. In SoCal it was always The….. But in the Bay Area of California people would give you hard time. You take 680 not the 680. I try but I inevitably go back to my roots. Housework day. Our gardening is going…

Good Morning I never understood Florida’s attraction after growing up in NYs heat and humidity. We took it easy yesterday and meandered around downtown for a couple hours. The big event was the opening of the drawbridge on the 101 so a tall commercial fishing boat could head out to sea for several days. I made shrimp tacos…

Good Morning You are in a tough spot Steve. Hang in there. We began to do some planting outside yesterday after buying some more bedding plants. At first Heather was very protective of me bending over which didn't go over well with me. But eventually we found a place near the middle and got things done, slowly. We we…

Good Morning We had a good trip to Eugene though we found their temps in the 80's a bit too warm for our tastes. Truly we have acclimated to coastal weather in the 60's. Today the plan is to do some planting/transplanting in the garden. We will go slow and steady to protect our backs. At some point I hope we get a walk in.

Good Morning Congrats on the simple repair of the transmission and getting to keep your truck. PT released me for my hip yesterday. No problems for a week. I have a few more sessions left and he is putting in for 4 more to work on my back to begin to rebuild a healthier back that doesn't act up as much. I hobbled in…

Good Morning I am glad the meeting with the Dietician went well. We cancelled our drive to Eugene since we were both feeling so tired. It didn't seem wise to make the drive. We will go tomorrow. My back tightened up on me yesterday afternoon while I was leaving the Farmer's market. I finally Tensed it in the evening to…

Good Morning Our cloudy day yesterday turned sunny. It was beautiful. It was good to get out for a short unaided walk over to the labyrinth and prayer garden. I was a bit sore at the end but the more I get out the better that will get. We are making a short trip into Eugene today but want to be back for the farmers market…

Good Morning Glad to see you are getting the hikes in Mike. Keep it going. Cool cloudy days this week. I'm beginning to spend time in the yard working pruning and watering. Though I'm careful posture wise there is a point where I have to stop and sit a bit and venture forth. But I am thankful I can do more and recover…

Good Morning Steve, I hope you can get that shoulder looked at sooner rather than later. Kansas continues to sound like a delightful place. Beautiful day yesterday, we hit the beach. She walked, I sat and read which is the new reality for a while longer. We headed to the local nursery to begin getting ready to do some…

Good Morning Enjoy your hike Mike! We ended up spending a couple hours in the yard which we haven't done for a long time. We removed the sections of picket fence that were well screwed into the 4x4 posts for the cedar fence with our neighbors. It was added to keep the dogs from jumping at the fence but looked wierd. Found…

Good Morning Another cool day on tap here. It seems much of the West Coast has cooled off. I am not sure what the day brings. I have to finish some watering and then likely will get back to reorganizing this room to make more functional and less chaotic so the office area works and I can do some studying/reading in here.…

Good Morning Sorry to hear about the truck Steve but it sounds like the right decision given other issues. Take time, grieve and then find another old truck. Mike good luck today. I had a nuclear stress test once. I found it all pretty interesting but gosh it takes a long time, at least it did back then. I had another good…

Good Morning We had a great day yesterday walking through the marina along the river and then hitting the Farmer's Market and some shops where we picked up some wind sock type things. We drove down the river to our favorite beach area. Heather hasn't been since she returned due to the winds and I haven't been in almost 2…

Good Morning Sam, I rejoice in Joanne’s news. It has been a rough post-surgery journey for you two. I give thanks and continue to pray for her full healing, your shoulder’s full recovery and a season of rest and recovery. I am in Wimbledon withdrawl. I do love a good tennis match. Hopefully the high gusty winds will die…

Good Morning We had a wonderful day yesterday up on Cape Perpetua with Heather. Seeing whales so close in to shore was quite a bonus. The wind up there was most impressive and sounds through the trees almost mesmerizing. I handled the ups and downs and trail surface fairly well with my poles and feel no repercussions…

Good Morning Down here on the S Central Oregon Coast we will be ~65° but windy. Late check in. Breakfast, Prayer and the last day of Wimbledon was the priority. We are headed to Cape Perpetua just up the coast and the highest point on our section of the coast. My trekking poles will hopefully help me explore some of the…

Good Morning Just finished the Women's Finals at Wimbledon. I spent a lot of time the week Heather was away watching Wimbledon. Might explain why I didn't get any of the big stuff done. PODS was a mixed bag but was the best solution for us in the long run with our need to store everything with an uncertain timeline. We…

Good Morning Heather is at Sea-Tac waiting for her flight home. Sheets are washed and changed, vacuum earned its keep and the house likes decent, probably better than she is expecting. Oscar came back yesterday to remove a Myrtlewood stump and cut another one back. I was warned in the past that getting rid of Myrtlewood is…

Good Morning I too doubt Rita has forgotten. Sorry Dave The landscape/yard guy came back yesterday to do the backyard and take care of some areas in the front. At the end we agreed he would return yet again to remove 2 Myrtlewood stump clusters on the side of our driveway which I had all the overgrowth cutback or removed…

Good Morning I seemed to have missed checking in yesterday, apologies. I wasn't feeling great between my stomach and tight and sore hip/back. I had PT in the early afternoon which was helpful. He did a chiropractic/inquisition maneuver where he pulled and twisted my torso a couple times after assessing me. Then I was fine…

Good Morning I had a successful trip to Eugene yesterday. I followed lots of trailers and campers east out of town after the holiday weekend. It was rather crowded here. I will be putting the new drill to work today doing some easy projects. It should be easy to keep busy today.

Good Morning Double flat including the donut? Is the donut even repairable? I am Eugene bound this morning. There is a Dewaltcordless drill on sale at Lowes that looks good. My old one is an old Craftsman. Last time I had to replace the battery it took some work to find one. A print of a St Brigid’s home blessing is ready…

Good Morning Mike, sorry to hear about your DSIL's father passing. Coaxed enough life out of my old cordless drill to be able to put in the hooks on the rafters for the hanging plants we bought for the front and did some watering where the sprinklers don't go. Finishing that up this morning. I didn't go down to the crowds…

Good Morning l was up and out early at 7:00am to head to the Eugene Airport. Heather is flying to Seattle to meet up with her twin and then board a cruise to Alaska with a card/craft group. I failed to convince her that we didn't have to leave that early but didn't get the decision. We got there almost an hour before the…

Good Morning Prayers continue for Joanne, Sam, Connie & Bob. Good Day yesterday. I ended up hiring the guy who came out to quote my lawn and yard project. I liked him. He loaded his trailer with more than half of my lawn and was back at 7am to take out the rest. At this point I may as him for a price on doing the back…

Good Morning I too was missing yesterday. I was up and out early to a 7:30 PT session which was helpful and then home to head over to Eugene for a Mani/Pedi appointment for Heather while I hit Whole Foods for fish. It was 4:00 before we knew it. She leaves for Seattle tomorrow morning to join her twin sister for an Alaskan…

Good Morning We continue to enjoy our 65º weather. It did soar to 70º yesterday. We have scaled back the garden project to just handle the lawn removal, some shrub removal and extensive weeding front and back. Calling a new guy today who we met 6-8 weeks ago working on someones property. We checked with the local nursery…
