Saturday


It was a cool but beautiful day. On our first walk before dawn, it was 48 degrees. Fortunately, it was a short walk. I had to put on long johns to get out the door. By the time of our first neighborhood walk, the temps were in the mid 50s. And by the time we finished our causeway walk, the temperature was 64. The photo above is from our last walk around Lake Saundra.

The breezes were light today, helping to make 66 degrees feel bearable. The northerners keep bragging about the “perfect” weather, while John and I are freezing our butts off.

This marks the furthest distance from our house on our long neighborhood walks, looping from Watrous to Ford, to Burke, to Ben Hogan, to Weybridge, to Palm, to Fairway, and back to Watrous. John considers this direction the “short” route and when we do it in reverse, it’s the “long” route. It makes intuitive if not rational sense.

We’ve been binge watching Netflix shows because of the cooler mornings and evenings. We just finished “Emily in Paris,” which is cute and light hearted. Emily is an American in Paris on a job assignment as a publicist/influencer. She doesn’t speak French, but she’s smart and clever, always managing to make lemonade out of lemons. 

We also finished “Young Royals,” a teen drama about a prince in prep school experiencing his first love as a gay man at the same time he feels the weight of public opinion and the monarchy. It’s a sweet love story.

Toby had a good day. His scratches are healing quickly. He is doing great with sitting to be petted by strangers and sitting while we talk to neighbors. He’s got heeling down and “leave it.” During the holiday weekend, he’s gotten lots of practice, including walking by barking dogs and being passed by golf carts. He needs more practice with golf carts, but everything else he does great. We are amazed that we haven’t screwed things up. Puppy training resumes next Tuesday.

I fixed a broken sprinkler head in two minutes using extra parts I had laying around. I love it when that happens!

  1. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘Bravo for sprinkler heads repair. I am very proud of you that you can do this. Dad is thoroughly enjoying the ball games. I’m enjoying our wall unit. Pam tried to get us to go that YEARS AGO. We plan to drive in for worship/SS tomorrow. Glad Toby is healing. I am so proud of him.
