Summer 2025

On Sunday, everyone wanted to get out early to beat the traffic. I emerged about 8 AM. To my surprise my daughter-in-law’s cousin had left at 5 and slept on the top of the bed so I didn’t have to wash the sheets. My daughter-in-law woke up early enough to whip her son and friend…

I slept 10 hours with 2 bathroom breaks. My daughter-in-law and friends went to the Ocean City boardwalk to look around. I walked my neighborhood and chatted with a couple of neighbors, always nice. I showered, had lunch, then had my lay-down. My daughter-in-law and friends went to the beach. For dinner my daughter-in-law bought…

Two days ago was the last full day for my daughter-in-law and her friends. They started at the beach. In the afternoon they went parasailing in Ocean City and asked another passenger in the boat to film it. They were 400 feet up! What a blast for them! I spent time in organizing my 10…

I had a win. A pair of capri pants I could not wear for over a year because of shoulder pain, now pull up easily. After a good night’s sleep I colored my hair and showered. Later I went to tthe gym followed by a trip to my local organic store to find a couple…

I started my 10 Day Detox Diet. My usual low energy is even lower. It is too complicated to record here. I did Essentric exercises before breakfast, showered. After lunch and a lay-down I talked to my cousin on Long Island for a couple of hours, always interesting and fun. Made the recommended sautéed chicken…

Following my Diet instructions, I took measurements (waist, hips, right thigh, left thigh). So far there is not a difference. I…

For the first time in 2 weeks, I walked on Assateague Island beach. With many guests in July, timing was never right. The day was perfect — sun, low humidity, 70’s, not crowded. I saw 2 ponies on the way in — Skippy (foal recognizable by white fur collar, named by my Denver family) and…

Slept well. Went to the gym. This Diet erodes my stamina. Afterwards I balanced my checkbook, which of course, didn’t balance. $795 off. I accepted it. I had enough in my account to pay bills. After lunch and a lay-down, I finished my check book, blogged, showered, did hip exercises, and watched a ‘Nature’ show…

First cup of coffee in 10 days. My brain said THANK YOU! I felt more alert, a little more energy. I will continue with the shakes for breakfast, fiber before each meal, large salads for lunch. I will also introduce cheese (an inflammation trigger) a little at time. At the gym my RPMs on the…

I was surprised to see my cleaning lady accompanied by her daughter instead of her husband, who was babysitting their grandchild. Her daughter looked like a younger version, spoke English, and was friendly. They did a good job. I went to the gym and did my usual things. I added 2 arm machines, light weight,…
