500 Saturdays: Nomad Diary

  Having a Delicious Meal in Our Corinth, Texas Airbnb Suite On the Phone with Jeremy and Grandson Quinn (5 1/2) Saturday. 28. The luxury of sleeping in today until 6:30am! Lol. Morning routines of an exercise routine, Darrell’s day to make pancakes which will go for about 3 mornings, coffee and reading time after our big breakfast. We go over before noon to see Mom. Darrell shows her some ideas for sight-impaired technology items that she might be interested in. We come back 17 miles to our place for lunch and a rest. Darrell also did some research about his Mom’s iphone to see what is in the settings that could improve her ability to communicate with her phone and with her contacts. We return to Cyndy’s house before dinner. I took a gluten-free brownie mix and some walnuts over with me to bake. Cyndy’s daughter Kylie eats gluten-free, and appreciates when we include her in our food plans! The brownie mix from Aldi’s was less than $3, and it turned out delicious. I added in toast...

  Crane In River at Hot Springs, Arkansas Saturday. 21. Hot weather this weekend! Upper 80’s. We have our morning routine. Afternoon walk. Cooking at our place. Sunday. 22. Morning worship with the church we have come to enjoy and know better and better. Adam the preacher invited us to have lunch out together. The three of us went to Newk’s, a US chain restaurant. Darrell and I hadn’t been there in a long time! We weren’t impressed and decided we would not be going back to that restaurant any time soon. Afternoon walk along the river. Monday. 23. I walked to a closeout clothing store and shopped in mid-morning. I found a pair of comfy jeans! This is a clothing item I find difficult to size and fit. I am already loving my new jeans that I didn’t try too hard to find this time. It was a bit cooler today and that made our afternoon walk much more enjoyable. I scheduled and called my sister, Linda for a ½ hour chat. I’m going to try to call her every week or every other week to catch...

  Good Food Truck Near Our Hot Springs Condo Flowers for Sale at WalMart Our Old Air Popper is Getting Donated. Our New Silocon Microwave Popper Bowl. Saturday. 14. We had a nice time today enjoying our local Hot Springs apartment. Darrell found this one on Booking.com. It’s also on Vacasa, but we haven’t used that app yet. We did our regular morning routine: Do a DDP Yoga routine before breakfast. Today was our 40 minute, more difficult routine. We get dressed for the day and make breakfast. Darrell made buckwheat, barley, oat pancakes. I shredded a pear for his batter. I also make coffee and measure out a bowl for each of us with greek yogurt, cottage cheese, fresh fruit and nuts. Our breakfast is a feast, and we haven’t tired of it. Later after lunch we decided to walk 1 ½ miles to a Walmart. We took a daypack and a couple of shopping bags. We had quite a load of items to carry back to our place. It was close to 80 degrees and sunny today. It’s very beautiful. On our walk back ...
