Roger's hip has been painful so he's not able to do the long walks with me and Maggs without hurting. He needs a cardio workout - so he got a bike today. (He's usually on the bike at the gym while I'm on the treadmill or in class.) Riding the bike works better for him than walking and he's outside. (And he doesn't have to stop and start while "little one" sniffs and then pees on every leaf she sees.) We are at the far back of the campground and it's the highest in elevation. Not by much, but enough to make you huff and puff when returning from the lakes whether you are biking or walking.
Since I'm the one putting on the miles walking..... new shoes! Poor Maggie, she just has to make do with her own equipment of four feet. She, too, has got her tongue hanging out when we get back, though, so it's a good workout for her as well.
A comment from last night after viewing the charts - actually a question - was how do people find us to read the blog? I have no clue. I guess people just find blogs to read so they find out about how others live? Learn English? It's beyond me, as I don't follow social media or blogs of any kind. I do know that a website called FeedSpot carries our blog. It's a site where you pay to choose what you want to read about from many sources and they are all in one place and you don't have to go from site to site. Right after we first started this blog, the owner of the site emailed us and said that they were giving us a free year because our site was generating traffic for them. Whether that is still the case, I have no idea, but that may be a link for some of the readers. I just love the idea that our adventures are being read, let alone by people in other countries.
It's Friday night and the short term campers started coming in about noon today with the weekend campers. The smell of campfires is in the air. This Sunday Santee Lakes is having a Christmas Celebration - mostly for kids. Santa will be here and the place will be packed if it is anything like years' past.
Roger got his new glasses today. They look good and suit him beautifully. The young lady who he worked with certainly got it right. He can even see better. They used the same lenses but they seem to sit better in the frame for his field of view. So, that worked out nicely, as the pair that broke sometimes caused him to have trouble reading. They seem to have fixed that. We owe them $20 plus postage. They certainly do take good care of us and have great customer service. We are certainly glad we didn't have to go out and buy new ones for him.
Weather - I think it hit 70 today with intermittent sunshine and a slight breeze in the afternoon. How can you not love San Diego in the winter?
I like pops new bike & your new sassy shoes Ma!
ReplyDeleteSounds like great weather for exercising. Miss Maggie must keep up a routine to keep her girlish figure!
We had a record cold here that will change by tomorrow & we will need the AC back on again.
Love you both!
