  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...

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 ...

  Sunrise View at the Back of Our Athens, Alabama Airbnb On Phone Call with Grandson, Quinn, Son, Jeremy, Daughter-in-law, Andrea in Brazil Saturday Game Party with 3 of Our Sons, Samuel, Wesley and Eric at Our Athens Airbnb Saturday. 14. Today was our more difficult 40 minute morning exercise routine. I’m glad to be able to do a morning exercise together. About every 3 days Darrell makes a new batch of pancakes. I shred the apple for his batter. We have gotten into a ‘rut’ that we both agree is exactly what we enjoy and want with eating these pancakes every day. After breakfast I put black beans in the instapot with a slightly different mix of add-ins. I recorded my new recipe for consistency. I usually make a pound of black beans about once a week. Sometimes we go through them a little faster. Today for lunch we added some measured lean ground beef that I had precooked and spiced into our bowls. Right after noon, Samuel and Wes, two of our sons, came to play games for the aftern...
