Yes, giving Bruno a bath definitely counts as exercise!
Walked this evening. The temperature was upper 80s so I didn't push myself. Felt good, though.

I have been silent for awhile but have been up to date reading occasionally.
Especially loved the picture of Ruth on the boat with the Blockade Runner in the distant rear view — classic Wrightsville.
Also, love the annual picture of Wonderland and Ruth, so sweet that you get to see each other in real life.
Karen and I missed meeting IRL in Nov 2019 when I was in Denver at a conference…frankly a regret that I still remember.
Karen, so happy you have been able to spend time in Israel, be with your daughter and do volunteer work. Like for you, school starts two weeks from yesterday, Aug 19.
Yesterday was my 63rd b'day!
Surprise alert, I spent my b'day with my mother in ICU…ugh…she has been there for a week. I came home last Tuesday 7/30 to find mom had taken a fall. Called the fire dept after I couldn't get her up and she is still in ICU (with a plan to transition to a Skilled Nursing Rehab soon)…not sure I will ever get mom back home, but feel blessed we had her for so long…but who knows…but I believe Assisted Living will be her best outcome as they say she now needs 24/7 available coverage, which is not possible at home.
Okay, that enough for me right now, best to all, TT

TT: Happy Belated Birthday. You have been missed. So sorry that your mother fall. I'm sure it was scary for her and grateful you were there to get the proper assistance she needed. Please know that I hold your mom and you are in my thoughts.

Happy Birthday, TT! So sorry to read of your mother's fall. Assisted Living might actually perk her up, with people around & activities to do can really enrich life for some people (my aunt found that to be the case, she came in for rehab after a surgery at the age of 90 & found she was having so much fun that she choose to stay!).
Yikes, it's almost time for school here too. Summers always fly by! I went to Dance2fit & Yoga today. We are having a cooler week here, so we are enjoying opening up the windows and breathing the fresh air!

Here's the Wednesday Walking Women celebrating the Olympics with a walk around the college track. I found some 'gold medals' at the Dollar Store, which is what some of us are holding (or biting like the Olympians do).

Love the Wed Walking Women shot, so festive.
My exercise today was walking…lots at the hospital, at work.
Went to the orthopedist to xray an sprained ankle that has taken 3 weeks to heal and hasn't. Wanted to make sure at this point that something wasn't broken — nothing is. But will start PT on Friday to stabilize.
Wish Claire was still on this thread, DH is spending the week in the section of WA state that is a dessert - Richland. I'm sure she would have had some great suggestions for what to do out there.
We are prepping for the storm. When I came home from the hospital (from mom), I fussed with our outdoor furniture/gas grill/etc. Hope everyone stays safe from Debby. TT

Good luck with Debby, TT, Wonderland, and anyone else out there is her path!

Tomorrow is 4 weeks since we arrived and sadly our trip is coming to an end. We leave very early morning Monday August 12 - so have to be at the airport between, 9 and 10pm to return our rental car. It has been a wonderful trip. Today we are helping cook for soldiers , planting trees in the afternoon and then going out to a late dinner with friends - our daughter will join us so a bonus time with her. Saturday we are having Shabbat lunch with friends who made Aliyah but from Denver. Later on, I will write a post with all the wonderful things we have done while here - volunteering, seeing friends, going to the beach etc.
Sad to see the trip come to an end. My first day back at work is Monday August 12th, but as we land at 10:45 am I won't be there. When we land at JFK, I'll write my managers and tell them I didn't sleep well and will be out for the day. True as sleeping on the plane is not good sleep. I do have 3 appointments on Tuesday and Wednesday. The kids start on Monday August 19th. I can't get on my district server while in Israel, so I haven't checked emails since I left Denver July 11th I told the person who assigns my team to email me to my private email to my personal email if there was anything I needed to see before school starts and so far no email. I have an Israel sim card so I don't get texts to my US number. I will change sim cards out on the plane to the US so I can check work emails when I land.
TT - happy birthday - hope you had a great day celebrating you. Wishing your mother a speedy and easy recovery. Thanks for your kind remarks about me.
Ruth - always love seeing the WWW.
Claire posts on FB.
WE've been doing a lot of walking, Many days over 15K and some 20K.
Sweet dreams - it's late by you but morning for me.

It sounds like a wonderful trip, Karen. Hope all goes smoothly on your return home. You will be super-busy when you get back!!

It's Sunday morning August 11th here in Israel. Today is our last day :( We've had an amazing trip. After we pack up and check out of the apartment, we will take our daughter home and spend the afternoon helping her pack up her place for her move in 2 weeks. We will go out to dinner before heading to the airport. Our flight is at 1:00am Monday the 12th so we will need to be at the airport at 9:30 to return the rental car.
It's a long travel - Israel to JFK to Denver. We get in Denver around 10:30 or 11:00 am Denver time (which is 7:30 or 8:00 pm Israel time). By the time we get to the house it will be close to noon. Tomorrow is my first day back for the school year but needless to say, won't be there. Before we take off for Denver, I will write my manager and others that I didn't sleep well and won't be in. Not a lie as who sleeps well on a plane in coach!
(Israel is 7 hours late than eastern time, 9 mountain time and 10 pacific time)
Hope everyone is doing well.

Karen: I've been thinking about you today. Hope your flight was uneventful and you have been resting as much as you can. Can't wait to hear more about your awesome trip.
Ruth: Bruno looks so full of joy in that picture!
I've been taking it easy lately. Last Monday I was in afib. Shit. Lasted 24 hours. It's been over 7 months since the last time I was in it. Keeping my fingers crossed that it was a fluke.
We had a lot of rain during the storm Debby. Luckily no damage. My neighbor's large maple fell right beside my car. Amazingly my car was not hit.
I decided to walk tonight and all went well. Didn't push it and it felt good to start back again.

Darn, Wonderland, do you need to report it to your doctor?
0 -
I don't think I need to. BUT if it continues I definitely will!

Log it so if you end up going in, you will have all the information written down.

Dance2fit, dog walking & Yoga yesterday. Here's the Wednesday Walking Women at breakfast after our walk today.

WE got home Monday morning after a long day of travel - 24 hours door to door plus being up all day Sunday. Texted the person who assigns us that I was back and didn't sleep so I was going to sleep in the morning. She said don't worry about the morning or even the day. I was okay the rest of Monday and Tuesday, but today being tired has hit me.
The trip was amazing. It was hard coming home. We spent time with our daughter, good friends, time at the beach, shopping (me) and eating lots of good food.
I posted pictures on FB. Here I can only do it from my phone, there are so many, it would take up so much space. So I need to think what are the best to post. We volunteered delivering supplies to IDF bases, helping with BBQs for the soldiers, packing dry goods, packing produce, planting trees, helping at a "rest stop" for soldiers, went south near where the most devastation occurred on October 7th.
Will address everyone once I get the where with all to think

Hope you're not too exhausted, Karen (I would be!).
I did my HIT & Dance2fit classes yesterday. Today I went to mat pilates & took a walk. DH brought home Chinese takeout tonight. Yea! I MUST clean the house tomorrow!!

Karen: I saw your fb pictures. What wonderful work you and your dh did!
Ruth: Come clean my house.
Had several meetings this week. Also invited a group of friends over for homemade tomato soap made with fresh tomatoes from our garden.
Dh severely hurt his back earlier this week. Thinks it happened while moving the yard waste cart (improperly at first bc didn't realize how heavy it was) which was full with debris from last week's Storm Debby. For a month or so he's been going to a chiropractor for his neck and was getting relief. Pretty sure this is not related to adjustments he has received. The pain is lower back and the chiropractor has not worked in that area. I had been begging him to go to his doctor but ya'll know how that goes. Finally today he said he wanted to go to the doctor so went to urgent care bc his doctor didn't have an open appointment. Given pain pills, muscle relaxer and told to get PT appointment. Dr. Wonderland (me) wants him to get a MRI. Hopefully he can see his regular doctor next week and he will order one.
Meanwhile the grass has been growing fast with the rain we have been getting. Before dh hurt his back we had discussed paying someone to mow while the grass is so thick and it's hot/humid. Called a guy and I'm happy to report that he mowed this morning! You know I like to mow but not in the heat. It's too exhausting and I'm getting too old for that!

Insist DH get an MRI, Wonderland. I have a friend who went to PT, got injections etc. etc. for four months before she finally got an MRI. She wasted all that time doing things that didn't help! I am glad you hired someone to mow the lawn. Well worth whatever it cost!!

Hope DH is feeling better today, Wonderland.
I spent the morning cleaning the house. We visited our 99 year old friend in the nursing home this afternoon…..she is not doing well, which is not surprising but still sad. I danced around with Marshall Fitness on utube for about 45 minutes while making supper.

Dh is feeling/walking a little better every day. He has an appointment with his regular doctor on Friday. He's had the appointment for months so he said he would just wait until then. I'm going with him and really push for the MRI.
Sorry about your friend, Ruth. I'm sure she loved your visit.
Ds came home for a short visit on Sunday. 2 more months until the baby arrives!
Temperatures and dew points are down for a few day and it's somewhat nice outside. Went for a walk this afternoon.

Glad you are going with DH to his appointment, wonderland.
Yesterday I went to Zumba & HIT. It was DH's birthday so DS & DIL took us out for dinner. Today, I did a bunch of 'house stuff'; bought groceries, washed clothes, made dinner for a sick friend, wrote letters, and went to Barre Sculpt & Zumba.
***it is way to quiet around here!!!!

Happy Birthday to Ruth's Dh!!!
(It is way too quiet here. I'm back now and hope others will be here soon.)

Here's today's Wednesday Walking Women picture. 12 years ago, 6 retired teachers went for a walk on the first day of school, and the rest is history (I retired the next year…..I was missing out on too much fun!).
