Cruisin’ the streets

It may be, Opah, but having a wonderful life and marriage one day, going across the country to visit my daughter and grandchildren, alone, and then getting a phone call that my husband had suddenly dropped dead, was a shock I will never forget. It was awful, and it stayed awful, for a very long time. I was in a kind of daze, for a full year. So, I am still not sure which is worse. The good news is life does go on, and if you’re gutsy enough, you will seek out love again, as apparently, we both did. 😊 P. S. One of my favorite movies!

I think people already do that? Haven’t you seen them?

Aren’t escape plans important in general, like in case of a fire?

@Linda, I have never figured out which is worse: knowing you will lose a loved one, or suddenly having a loved one ripped from your life. Either way, it sucks! All you can do is be the best friend you can, while she is still here. I know what helped me, when my husband died suddenly, and without warning, was knowing he knew how much I loved him, and I knew the same about his love for me. He didn’t choose to leave me. Somehow, that made it a bit more tolerable, and I was able to carry on. You will always have memories of the good times you shared with your friend, after she is gone. It will hurt, but it will get better. For now, cherish her, while she is still here. Save your grief, for after she’s gone…

Another heat wave is upon us, so I will have to do my second walk, after the sun goes down. I am amazed that I haven’t missed one in the three weeks I have been doing this. I am down 10 pounds, which I needed to lose, so a little less stress on the joints and my heart. I can stand to lose 10 more. I am a bit concerned about how I can keep this up over vacation, but one idea is that I will try to find hotels with exercise rooms. Also, when visiting National Parks, along the way, I can do my walking.

Do you have an exercise program? Might be more beneficial than ice cream….

Should I be wanting to leave my lover?

9. Use as coffin to bury dead kitten, in the back yard. (true story) @jillar, I was the only girl in The Harley Davidson weekend Rider’s Course. (Learned how to ride!)

7. Store school supplies in that, pens, pencils, erasers, ruler, protracted, compass, keep in desk at school. @jillar, I collect mostly mechanical watches, meant for men (so I can read the damn things). I especially like dive watches, and am very active on several watch forums, where I am the only girl…😉

I had not heard about this. Fascinating, as is the man! I really have to pay better attention to what’s going on in the world…..😳
