Smokey Swallow

Rarely am I awake for sunrise. But it seems my newly-found enthusiasm for swimming is having its way with me. 

They take reservations for the therapy pool starting at 6:00 a.m. I popped up like a prarie dog at 6:07 and secured a spot in the 2-3:15 session. 

I recently discovered this blog...

She hasn't posted anything since April of this year, 2022, but I started at the beginning and over the hour or so last night, what with looking up the Tsar & the Wolf, only made it to November of 2008. 

Perhaps we can entice her?

Pilates, Ballroom Dance, Swimming

While awaiting the completion of Phoebe's engine rebuild (transmission is done), I've sought activities to entertain. Mondays & Wednesdays there's a hybrid Pilates-yoga and on Tuesdays there's ballroom dance...both at a nearby community center. Swimming is available at various times throughout the week.

The starfish was a gift from Aunt Ree-Ree (photo below) when I was three...a memento of her trip to Hawaii.

The parrot is one of a pair that hung in Michelle's grandparents home. The walking stick is a new acquisition from Allegheny Mountain Walking Sticks. The display case holds a lifetime of treasures.

Michelle has been redecorating....new faux-wood flooring, paint and patterns on the walls. It's lookin' downright homey.
