Jan and I biked upriver towards Oil City yesterday - as far as the last, biggest picnic spot before the sewage treatment plant. It was a good trip, though I was glad when it was over. Only 10 miles but my back, my butt and my shoulders where aching when we got back to Franklin. I do love biking but my body can't seem to do it for very long without ( Read more... )

I made another potholder last night. This one went so much faster with less errors to correct as I went along. Getting the hang of it. So now everyone can expect a pot holder for xmas ( Read more... )

Our WWW swim yesterday was nice. Cooling on a hot day. Though it wasn't terribly hot in the shade. Wearing a bathing suit I got some sun on my shoulders and upper arms and thighs - places that don't usually get sun. I enjoyed being the "pool girl" searching for bugs and debris with my pool net. The pool was nice and clean when I was done. Lunch at ( Read more... )

What's on my mind today? What do I really want to say? Well, some of what I really want to say can't be said here, in a public space. But aside from that ( Read more... )

The question:

Very well. I have one sister, Kathy, earthmother45 who lives in Florida so I don't get to see her very often. I normally would fly down once a year for a visit but I didn't go this year - the covid. I had one brother - John. He passed away in 2004. I was close to him too. As a quadriplegic he needed ( Read more... )

I biked with Jan this morning from Franklin to Belmar Bridge. Really a beautiful day - sunny. I got a little tan on my arms. In the afternoon I went with Dave to Conneaut Lake to a boat shop so he could get a part for his boat, then to the Meadville Walmart to get 2 chestnut trees. When we got home from that I wasn't ready to just settle in the ( Read more... )

The question:
21 Do you believe in soul mates?Yes, if what you mean is to find a "perfect" person for you. But I don't believe always we will be able to find them. Sometimes it might be better to find someone that is pretty much perfect and live with them. Learn to love yourself (make yourself into your own soulmate) while living with someone else ( Read more... )

I thought this morning I would try again taking Rainy for a bike (trike) ride. Last year we only went about a mile and she started trying to dig her way out of the box. I was hoping that a year later she would have come to trust life with me more and be satisfied to go longer. This morning we got to the picnic/camping spot about a mile down river. ( Read more... )
