It is a very nice rainy day today and Maggie and I are using it to just relax. So I wanted to catch you up since Wednesday.
Things are going very well here in North Carolina and I am attending lots of classes and going to the pool twice a day. I haven’t lost any weight yet but I have been eating too many things with salt in them and I hope to show a lost next week. On Wednesday, in addition to our activities, Maggie and I went over and visited Tom and Marge Fitzpatrick. They have moved here from Myrtle Beach to be closer to family that live here. We had a great visit and caught up on their kids. Later that evening, Maggie and I went to the movies. We saw “The Staff”. It was advertised as a humorous film but it was both funny and profoundly touching. We recommend it.
On Friday, we stayed for the pool at 10:00am and then headed out to visit Maureen and Rick in Warner Robins, Ga. We took lunch with us and we stayed structured. It was a beautiful day to drive and we got there in about 7 and a half hours. They had two salads waiting for us. We watched the finals of the Little League on TV because the Warner Robin’s team was playing. They won and will be in Williamsport, Pa for the World Series. Mark and Laurie and their girls, Rachel and Sara, were at the game but couldn’t see as well as we were on TV, so they came by to visit. It was great to see them. Also another friend of M & R came by, Bill and Shirley and we sat up talking till 2am. It was a lot of fun being with all of them. I slept till 9:45am and Rick made a great (structured) breakfast for us. Then Rick drove me over to see the brother of a good friend, who is Catholic and dying. He and I talked for about an hour. It was very impressive. He is prepared and looking for (I am so annoyed that all the rest of what I wrote disappeared somehow). (I will recreate it tomorrow!) Good night!
Thanks for the update! I could feel your frustration at the end. Will check back later for “the rest of the story….”
