Federer and Tiger today

We (Allison, Nancy and I) went to the Dick Clark American Bandstand Grill mid-afternoon yesterday. Allison and I had the "4th of July Buffet" - Nancy had the chicken tenders - a huge plate. Music was continuous from the 50s and 60s with tvs around. A little noisy for Nancy, she said.

Federer beat Roddick in 16-14 5th set for this 15th Grand Slam title. I tuned in at 6-7 in 5th, and couldn't go back to golf. Tiger just teed off at Congresional.

Nancy came up with this photo from Utah house off of her camera from May - that we thought was lost. We'll be out there in Utah, again, in a few days.


I'm in the "dining room" - the photo looking south - note the humming bird feeder. To the left, in this photo, is the great view of the Capital Reef National Park red cliffs.

It is another very good day! ;-)

Happy 4th of July!

Hope all are enjoying our National Holiday - each in your own special way.

Finished the last piece of birthday cake for brunch. My day is doing well, so far.

I has been a very good day! ;-)

Happy 70th Birthday to me!

Lots of others have wished me happy birthday - THANKS! - so I'll add one of my own. Went for a walk, lots of Animal Crossing, FarmTown, and Farmville playing, and haven't had lunch yet.

Nancy has the traditional angel food cake baked - frosting pending! A good life.

Next challenge is finding a new barber to cut my hair - this week. Big trauma, but good opportunity, as well.

So far, it is a very good day! ;-)

70th Day on Wii Fit

This was my 70th day on Wii Fit... last two weeks have been 30 or more actually exercise minutes every day. From the first day, I have lost 5 pounds. Been working on diet and regular walking, plus moving activities, of course.

Helps get good rest at night as well, I think. I'll believe it, anyway. Fun as well as healthful. Does take time, though. Takes about 45-50 minutes to get in the full 30 minutes of recorded time.

It was a very good day! ;-)

Happy Father's Day!

Congratulations and best wishes to all Fathers out there!

Allison and Nancy took me to the Grand Country Buffet for brunch today. Very nice!

Got back just as the U. S. Open third round was getting under way - more rain overnight, but nicely playable. Final round started late in the afternoon - will finish on Monday, hopefully!

Nice electronic cards and notes, etc., from Arrion and Annette, of course. Nancy went and got a cake, mid-afternoon, so the celebration will continue...

It is a very good day! ;-)

First Friday

Finished major trash runs - haulers on Tues and Friday, here - worked out well!

Still very hot! Watched extended U. S. Open all day - 13+ hours of coverage, rain yesterday.

Tiger had bad first round. Phil M. hanging in pretty well.

Grilled on back deck for supper - Allison came over and joined us.

It was a very good day, except for Tiger! ;-)

First Thursday

Went for a walk, and then started doing 30+ minutes of Wii Fit in the morning - rather than evening like the first 58 days.

Helped Nancy finish sorting and replacing items in the kitchen, pans, etc. Worked on the hall closet, so can access cable on Monday when service person comes to upgrade our service.

To grocery store in late afternoon. First of many, I assume. Seems to be a regular part of my new duties, in recent times, and looking forward. I still enjoy it, so good deal all around.

Enjoyed cherry pie and ice cream to top off the day.

It was a very good day! ;-)
