I spent the morning washing clothes then left at 10 to pick up Kate. We went to the Pig for their big meat sale. I have been out of pork and beef so stocked up on pork chops, sirloin and ground chuck. We took much less time than we thought so took our haul to our refrigerators to keep them cold, then went to the Taco Stop on Eastern Avenue for lunch and a visit. I had tacos and beans. I had them made with chorizo and shredded beef. Kate and I had not had a chance to visit for some time. With her difficulties and mine it gets tricky. She has been having trouble getting to CWI meetings. She was all ready to help at the Family Irish Day at JMKAC when she hurt her back, badly. She is still somewhat uncomfortable. But we are now opting for better days.
I brought a chorizo and hamburger burrito for Dick's lunch. It is so big that he could only eat a third of it.
Then I finished the wash, worked on the quilt and made several phone calls. We had dump soup for supper. It is a really good one. To bad it will never again be made. We do have two more lunches of it to eat.
So today is winding down and Roxie is starting to hang around for bed time. She gets pretty disgusted when she and I get all settled and then Dick needs something. But we finally do manage to get to sleep.
Almost the weekend. Wow.

EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.
Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags.
Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute (I'm at this level).
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.
