Mystery object solved

Comments Off on Mystery object solved

I know you were all on the edge of your seats this past week, just wondering what was that weird thing I posted last week. Well the wait is over. It is a stretchy band. A what???? A band you can use to perform various exercises. As part of my project to find easier workouts […]

The cranky couch potato

December 5, 2018

So here we go again – more foot surgery. So much for my enhanced fitness routine – I enhanced myself into more foot injuries. I had another neuroma on the same foot as before, just a different location. Supposedly there are no more places on this foot for a neuroma to appear. Of course, there […]

Some lessons learned from Zumba

October 17, 2018

This post isn’t about becoming a better dancer. For those of you wondering what the heck is Zumba. Zumba is a mix of Latin and international dance. It’s the latest fitness craze. Alas, my Zumba dancing looks more like a spastic cockroach waving its legs. Fitness is my passion and I always enjoy learning about […]

It is time for a vacation

August 1, 2018

I had an “aha” moment this summer: “Vacation, for me, is just as much a state of mind as a state of place.” We normally don’t go away in the summer; I don’t like the crowds. It can be fun to stick close to home. Our town is deserted since most folks go away. These […]

What is your priority?

July 25, 2018

I think it’s important to periodically review your priorities, since they may change over time. Right now, my priority is kayaking. As I tell my friends: “It’s my happy place.” Making something a priority means that you may need to schedule your life around it. This can be hard to do, but I have found […]

The view from a kayak

July 11, 2018

You may have noticed that there are a lot of posts about kayaking these days. This is the summer of kayaking. I would rather be kayaking than doing anything else. We have had some glorious days and it has been heaven to be out on the water. Thought you would enjoy the views from the […]

Any guesses as to what is going on here? Looks to me like a kayak store! What do you think? 🙂

The crimson water lily

June 27, 2018

I was out doing my favorite thing, kayaking, the other day. It was a glorious summer day; the temperature was perfect and there was just the slightest breeze. I was really enjoying myself and taking deep breaths of the fresh, clean air. I looked down and saw this beautiful crimson water lily. I have never […]

Evoking memories of Asheville

June 20, 2018

It is amazing how a picture can evoke so many memories. That is why I love getting pictures as souvenirs. We bought this lovely forest scene last November when we were in Asheville. Something about the picture just spoke to me; probably because I love nature. Well I finally (!) got it framed and it […]

Why kayak into the wind

June 6, 2018

It’s kayaking season again and it is my favorite time of year. It is especially nice to go out on these early summer days before it gets too hot and humid. The only down side is that it can be quite windy. The other day was sunny and the temperature was a perfect 80 degrees. […]
