Interesting Weather We're Having

For the past three days the high temps have been no more than 82-85; after last week's 95-100 temps, plus humidity, this is very delightful. I went running on Monday at lunch time and on the way back, a young man asked if I had a good run. I said, at my age, it's amazing I made it up the hill. He said, You're what? 35? I laughed at him and almost fell down because of the tears running out of my eyes because I couldn't see where I was going! Apparently, he needs glasses badly. I told him, No, I'm 62, and then I ran like hell. If he was being kind, it was very nice of him; if he was serious, he needs professional help.

I'm going to run outside today, as well, since our weather is sunny and only a high of 82.

The doctor has said that Dave's mother can go home, but she will need 24-hour care. Not sure exactly when she will go home, but Dave is working with the health-care provider to get things started.

My Penny Straker sleeve is coming along nicely; slowly, but nicely. The blue sweater has been blocked; now I have to sew the back to the fronts and sew the button band and the back band onto the sweater. If only I could get my rear end off the couch after dinner and do this, I would be so much further along.

Saturday I will take Dave's father to see his mother at the nursing home for a short visit, then I have to take him home, and then drive to Mt. Airy from Rockville to my riding instructor's farm for a Cross-Country Schooling lesson. One of the other riders is going with me, so that helps defray the costs of the trailering, etc.

Horse show is June 26, so have to get in some jumping to make sure I'm being safe and won't hurt myself. Then, Sunday a.m. is a dressage lesson. I better refresh myself on the test so I don't get eliminated because I forgot what to do.



Well, you can't read this, but there it is.
