Been busy running around for a couple days. Beautiful (freezing) morning on the way to gym today. Yesterday we were able to watch the kids skate in 6 degree weather! So resilient! Already prepared todays lunch. Photos pretty much say it all. I took the group shot of Jean, my daughter/husb, along with ex and her husb…so I…

It was 18 degrees and beautiful driving home from the gym this morning…should be a good day (pic). Enjoyed some videos from my daughter this week of the grand kids… both girls had “dance demos” but people weren’t allowed in lobby to see video screens…only 2 adults allowed to attend. One does acro & jazz the other hip-hop…

Good afternoon! The weather was quiet this morning (backyard pic) with temp in the 20’s. Some occasional blustery snow with a nominal 1-3 “expected. I’ll take it. Hard to believe Monday is February 1st! Only 52 days until spring. Got wrapped up this morning watching a Dr Fung interview on YouTube. He was one of my primary…

Great morning – freezing at about 7 degrees – but lots of sun! Did the gym etc. and still working on some projects… Had some stupid nasal discomfort since yesterday so happy to take at easy this afternoon maskless LOL. Already prepared veggies for lunch and will likely have 2-3 oz of steak… Loved walking by the dining…

Happy Sunday morning. It has been a busy couple days. Had a few photo projects. Jean’s friend came by to pick up some restorations Friday afternoon and stayed close to 4 hours. I hibernated upstairs. She brought another restoration and I was able to complete within the 4 hours. Sad about Hank Aaron, baseball’s one-time…

Active morning…w/ gym & cooking. Yesterday we took a LONG drive. Pit-stopped at Waterloo Premium Outlets. Couple bargains at Tommy Hilfiger. Found other deals – but just don’t “need” anything. Walked area for “extra tracker steps.” Cable on the blink last night so I watched Amazon Prime - Starman- John Carpenter’s 1984…

Mornin’ Mornin’ – an early quick check-in as not sure how the day will unfold. Got to gym at 5am and had a nice 3 mile walk. Temp was in the 20’s and headed for 35 high. Here is a bit of weather humor: DestinyUSA Mall: A friend told me today - BestBuy at is closing on March 7th. It hasn’t hit the news yet. Last week I told…

Late afternoon “check-in”. Just got back from Michaels “Going out of business” sale! Nothing will really be left by closing. ******* Instead of $171.68 we paid $11.94 for some beautiful frames ****** Of course we were there 2 hours just in line outside and inside the store (6ft distancing etc.). People had multiple carts…

Happy Saturday Morning. No idea what today entails. Guess a little snow and colder temp this morning was inevitable (morning pic). Pit stopped at grocery store for side dishes to go with planned afternoon steak. Got home from gym and Jean had her boom-box playing loudly while she showered. Kinda cute, if you know what I…

Annsie – I love it! My kind of humor. Actually, it isn’t meant for family (although it is harder to pretend we aren’t home) – but want the pizza delivery guy to know he was more than welcome. LOL As for warnings, the closest we get is blaring voice messages from kiosks throughout the mall “wear a mask, wear a mask” –…

Oop's forgot one cartoon I saw and thought was funny....

Good afternoon everyone…. Woke at 3:30am and rather than stay in bed, I got up channel surfed the TV with a cup of coffee and got to the gym by 5am. Much busier than the norm, but still plenty of room for social distancing etc. Posted an old “Bob & Jean” photo on social media for Throw-back Thursday and then headed out…

Well – It’s a laid back kind of day. Did the usual and lunch is in the oven. Jean and I did some mall walking too… so many stores struggling (or closed see pic). Jackie – it was definitely a beautiful night for that 2 mile ride. Glad we did it. As for weather – I think we all do it. My line is usually, “if there isn’t…

Jean is off to meet a girlfriend for a quick visit. Last night we took…

MORNIN’ ALL! Only positivity and thankfulness allowed today for me. Not avoiding reality, but decluttering some of the negativity that the media or negative people (not talking about people with real issues) promote. Glad to be alive and healthy enough to walk the treadmill. While walking with Jean last Friday, I mentioned…

Happy Sunday. Another cold day…but no snow to be pushed around…so it’s a good day. Almost to 10k steps (400 to go). Jean is off to a “ZOOM BABY SHOWER” at my sister’s home. A handful of family members having a light lunch and then everything else (presents etc. via Zoom. Pandemic or not – Soooo glad men don’t do baby…

Good afternoon everyone! Cold but beautiful sunny day. Started the day with blink and decided afterwards to visit Target at 8am to buy the new Barry Gibb CD for Jean… “Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers Song Book Vol. 1 (Target Exclusive, CD” lots of fav artists also on the CD. No traffic at all and store 95% empty. Back home…

Time for a quick “Good Morning!” to all! Lots planned for this morning. Gym completed at 6500 steps (see pic for interesting stat). Time to work around the house, get cleaned up…pit stop at mall for one additional “nice” cheap frame on the way to Uncle Jack’s house to see his new car and then surprise him with lunch. But…

Almost 2:30pm it’s still in the 20’s, cloudy, dry roads and not snowing. Extended forecast is for the 30’s and sun next 7 days. Happy I was able to get 10,000 steps already. Went to Michaels at the mall for a photo frame (they just announced closing) w/ 50% off lowest price. I had needed one and picked up a $35.00 frame…

It’s a balmy 33 degrees with a “feel like” temp of 19. Cloudy with a couple flurries so not too bad. Made sure I got 8000 steps at blink this morning, as not 2nd walk planned – have some cleaning to do. Had a great lunch - (251 cal.) Strip steak, mushrooms, Asparagus tips, riced cauliflower, grilled veggies and broccoli.…

Good afternoon Sneakers! Quiet but active day. Late start to gym. We wanted to surprise one of my dozens of nephews – a school bus driver. He holds a special place in our hearts and has a genetic disorder that impacts his heart and required aortic valve replacement when he was just in his 20’s. Absolutely superb with kids,…

Good afternoon Sneakers ! It was a busy morning again. Gym, a mall walk, computer work and lunch. The mall was as empty as ever – so many places going out of business. It’s like being in “The Omega Man” 1971 film with Charlton Heston as a lone survivor. LOL (see pic). Found 2 pic of Jean and me from New Years on my camera…

Good late-afternoon (it was a cold morning in the 20’s with occasional flurries)….

Yesterday we celebrated with Chinese food, but I stuck with non-fried chicken and made a huge batch of shrimp (some we had w/ cocktail sauce and the rest I put with my hot meal along with some Won-ton soup & Pinot etc. Tried to watch some of the virtual celebration on TV but found it too depressing. Ate waaay too much food…

Made it to the gym by 5:30am. Temp was 21F degrees, but roads clear and not snowing. Back home I had some work to do and then a hot relaxing bath. We thought it best to “get out” a bit before the weather turns and took a trip to the Waterloo Premium Outlets (just to walk around in the fresh air) and Martin's Amish…

Good afternoon everyone. It’s a cold gray day today. Up early and went to Dunkin’ Donuts for soe Munchkins…thought I’d deliver to my daughter on her doorstep before anyone was up….and that’s what I did. Also bought Munchkins for the front-desk help at the gym. Did my usual treadmill etc. and grocery shopping. It was busier…

Thought I should at least “check-in” post-Christmas…knee-deep in a couple projects. A friend that is in poor health stopped by with several “old” photos that needed to be restored…she is making a shadow box of memories for her daughter and doing something else for her son. Holiday eating is not always balanced, but glad to…
