Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Karen, hope all goes as gentle as possible.

Mommy, sorry for your loss of beautiful Jackson (viewed precious photo on dogs thread).

Ruth, super photos - thanks for sharing.

Pets are the best! The company I was expecting to show up next week are showing up today. Yikes! I am putting everything else on hold to do a quick get ready!

Karen, just said a prayer for you and your family.

Ruth your pics have brought back many memories as I grew up there. And learned a few things from your comments!

I so want a cheesesteak now!!!

Was active earlier in the week and hope to get in 30 minutes of something tomorrow. 🙂

They are Wonder. They take turns throughout the day of cuddling on my lap or napping on my legs

Here are some of the other places we went in Philadelphia. If you want to see a picture of any of them, just let me know: Observation Deck from the 57th floor of a downtown shopping center, Betsy Ross House, Carpenter Hall (where the 1st Continental Congress met), the Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier in Washington Park, portrait gallery at the 2nd Bank of the United States, the National Constitution Center (which was wonderful), Benjamin Franklin Museum (what a guy!!!!!), The Seaport Museum (complete with a chance to snoop around a historic warship & a submarine), some neat memorials, the waterfront, and pictures of food!

It was on the third floor of this little house that Thomas Jefferson wrote The Declaration of Independence in just three weeks!!

Sending prayers for her peaceful repose, Karen.

Fascinating history pics, Ruth.

Fun county fair, Wonderland.

Going on a trip again but packed all my sportswear.

Karen,

Washed the first laundry of the week and then all my reusable grocery bags.

Biking today with a friend: 14 miles, Mosier Twin Tunnels trail near Hood River, OR. Here we're looking at a syncline on the Washington side of the Columbia River. Cloudy, but perfect temperature for biking.

Pound and Barre, good to be back on a schedule.

Karen, condolences to you and family.

Been busy, adding, deleting and changing my teaching schedule. Not boring here on political front. Wet, grey weather and DH and I are off to Dublin on Friday. Let's keep at it everyone!

Wow Ruth, I always look forward to your Wed Women pictures... we are still in 80's/low 90's through to early October! Then we flip the switch and stay in the 70's...tidewater (coastal) VA.

5 gym classes so far this week...have been going to a balance workshop once a week were the hour long class is atop a bosu ball!

Walked/ran this evening. It's been hot and I have to make myself get outside to do it bc it's so easy to talk myself out of going. Walking later in the evening helps.

I started painting a few pumpkins already. These a small pumpkins. My dh's 98 year old aunt fell and broke 5 ribs. She's was in the hospital but now is in a nursing home in a room with a roommate. I painted the tree heart for our aunt and the oak leaf for her roommate. The moon cat (complete with my black cat Salem) is for my dd.

Wonderland those are precious. You really have an artistic gift!

Walked around the lake again this afternoon for 30 minutes. Felt good!

6 month check up with oncologist this afternoon. He's keeping me on a 6 month schedule. My most recent DEXA scan showed a 4.5% decline in bone density from 2 years ago. Last year in September we discussed Zometa but I wasn't ready to jump on it as it is infusion. The thought of being in the infusion room makes me cringe - too many not pleasant memories. In March, we took Zometa off the table as it is hard on the kidneys. So today, oncologist suggested Prolea - it is a shot - that I can deal with a shot. It is every 6 months for 2 to 3 years. So I agreed - oncologist office is going to get pre-approval from insurance. Oncologist also talks about the benefit from Prolea (more from Zometa) in preventing bone mets. He said 3 - 4% for me.

Wishing everyone a good week-end.
