- Road Trips. We've already taken one road trip & are preparing for the next. Next MON-THU we'll be "glamping" with the grandkids at Platte River State, which is located between Lincoln & Omaha. This will include sidetrips to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha--Lois purchased a grandparents' pass, which will save us beaucoup bucks--the Water Park at Mahoney State Park; the mellowdrama, also at Mahoney. Pray for good weather!
- Grilling. Since Memorial weekend I've grilled three times already w/o char-cooking any meat. We've enjoyed pork chops, brats, &, last night, hamburgers. Grilling, by the way, is extremely manly.
- Walking. Lois had made a plethora of "threats" that we were going to start walking regularly. So far it's been tolerable. We've taken Sammy, our somnolent hound, on average of one walk per day, including a hike on the Cowboy Trail last SUN. And Lois is walking in the morning's with a friend. This morning she & Shelby walked for 2 miles, after which she returned home, & we embarked on a walk with our poor, gasping pooch. I hate to admit it, but walking is good for me.
- Planning. Yesterday we met with a travel counselor at AAA, to discuss an Alaskan cruise, which we plan to take next year in celebration of our 45th anniversary. So many options! My head is still swimming. Next month when we'll visit David (Lois' brother) & Carmen, we'll get serious about the details, since we will be traveling with them.
- Cleaning. Lois brought a horde of school supplies home with her, as she cleared out her classroom following her retirement. Now she gets to "process" all of these valuable keepsakes. We may be adding a storage room to our house.
