Yard work, jogging, eyes, pillows....

Hello,

How is everyone this fine, warm, sunshining day?  It's absolutely beautiful outside today.  It's in the 70's and not a cloud in the sky.  Love it, love it!  Yesterday afternoon we spent 2 hours working in the yard and my landscaping.  We have 3 different types of Maple trees in our back yard and if your familiar with Maple trees you know they are notorious for dropping small twigs.  We had a ton of them in our yard so we picked up 3 very large yard debree bags full.  Also, I trimmed some bushes and picked up pine cones from one of our pine trees in the front yard. It was nice to do some outside work.  After we finished the yard work we decided to take a motorcycle ride.  It was a little chilly but we enjoyed the ride.   Terry is going to come up in a couple weeks and help us pull out our deck furniture and also get my pots ready for planting.  Terry loves doing home projects so it's nice to have him help out.

As most of you know I hurt my back a few weeks ago and I've been restricted on what I can do at the gym.  Thankfully, my back is better, so this week I started back to my normal routine.  In my cardio class we are now jogging 2 miles.  I would never have thought that I would be a jogger but I really like it.  I'm still using lighter weights than before in my weight lifting class but I plan on moving back up in weights hopefully by Monday.  I want to make sure I don't do anymore damage to my back.

I went to Columbus today for my eye check-up from my surgery and all is going well there.  I don't have to go back for another 3 months.  We went out to lunch (Yum!) and then we went to Polaris mall.  Bob loves Down pillows and his is so old so we went to Bed Bath and Beyond....OH MY!!!!!!!  I have driven past that store many times but I've never been in it.  Just to sum it up, I am in LOVE!!!!!  That store is great....It has everything!  There is so much to look at and so many unique things that I've never seen before.  The prices on some things can be rather high but I am so glad to have checked it out.  Right down from that store is Kirklands Home which I have shopped at before and also Catherines.  I've never been to Catherine's but I know several people that shop there so I plan on taking a day and heading back down.  Watch out credit card here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!  By the way Bob did find a new Down pillow so he can now part with the one he's had for like 15 years.  Bye, bye pillow!!!!! 

That's about all that is going on up here.  Have a nice day!

It sounds like you are doing great and I am glad your back is doing better. Tell Linus I am glad he got himself another pillow!

Sure will. He seems to be surviving his separation anxiety from the old pillows. The new one is working out good!
