Dad 463: Weather Woes

(I think we might go from winter straight to summer. Enjoy Dad's post! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Still complaining about our spring weather. There was snow in the state yesterday. We did not get any on the coast. The temperatures have still been cold with a wind. Doesn't feel like baseball weather. More like football! Please get out of the 30s to 50s and let us get some warm 70° days! Please!!

 

I had my teeth cleaned Monday. Must now return to dentist Monday for a filling. Only one small one that is missing. Hope it is not an "ouch"! We'll see!

 

Hope to get outside next week to do some outside work. Enough to do if the weather cooperates. I'm tired now, sooo....

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!

A Riddle

Q: What does a shoe horn and a toilet seat have in common?

A: They were both delivered to us today by Amazon.com!

For those of you that were hoping for some potty humor, I am sorry to disappoint.... 😏

Keep Walking

The weather was nice enough today that Lew and I actually took a walk this afternoon. It was nice to get outside and get some fresh air.

As for the walk itself: I've been using the elliptical machine a few times a week, but it's not the same as walking outside. "Hello" to muscles I haven't used in a while!

Maybe we'll get a chance to walk outside again tomorrow. That would be good, especially since it's supposed to rain for a few days this week.

Happy Mother's Day!  🌷🌼🌷🌼🌷

Dad 462: A Bath for Birds

(Lew plays outside. I go to work. Dad writes today's post. Enjoy! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Well, the weather is getting closer to spring. Today has been a beautiful day. Very sunny with the temperature still in the 50s. It is time to turn the heat on. Let the sun shine through the clouds. We are ready!

 

We are getting ready for summer at the homestead. Lew has been busy today. Golf with Glen, Josh, and his friend Dick. Then he got the birdbath out and water turned on outside. Then the birdbath was filled. I think no birds are willing to swim in the birdbath yet. Maybe a drink or a skating party!

 

Everything else seems to be going along satisfactorily. Not much else to say so I'll stop here. More next time. Tracy will be happy that this is shorter than usual. So....

 

Until next time!

A Welcome Sight

Guess what made an appearance today?

The SUN!

Hooray!

Maybe we will have Spring after all.

Update: A Lofty Goal

In mid-March I wrote a post about how I had 58 books on my "to read" list. (Click HERE to see that post.)

I am happy to report that my list is down to 51! That's pretty good progress in under two months.

Disclaimer: There are more books I want to add to my list. Many, many more....

Dad 461: A1c

(Happy Birthday to me! Enjoy Dad's post! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Well, another cool day on the home grounds. Had about a day and 1/2 of good weather the last week. Still our temperatures are hovering in the low 50s. Please warm up! This noon it was snowing up north. May 1st and snow. Really?

 

I have taken an insulin shot (along with pills) for almost four months to help control my blood as a new "old" diabetic. Well, now I am trying to go with just pills and so far my personal care doctor said to keep it up.

 

I don't understand what A1c is. When I was hospitalized four months ago, I was told mine was 10 and they hoped I could get it down to around 7. Well, my blood test in April was in a normal range at 5.3. I don't know what it is but it is a good report.

 

Spouse and I keep on going. It was a few years back that our first-born arrived on this date. Tracy showed up on May 1, 1963. Happy Birthday, Tracy.

 

Done for now.

 

Until next time!
