Count Down to Travel !

 We depart Wed and in two Saturdays we return. Return to buds on the trees and a few more sixty degree days. Check lists should keep us clothed and medicated. 

Wear the correct shoes.

Often I ride the city bus to Portland city center. Today I had an early teeth cleaning appointment. As I drove home, I realized I could catch the bus with minutes to spare. I did but I did not change to walking shoes. I did my usual route to a certain shop and then to our Portland Museum of Art. Penny loafers are my GO-TO real shoes but not so much for longer down and then uphill distances.

By real shoes I mean leather soles and uppers.

Bottom Line. Plan ahead with a later bus or better shoes right away.

Age 72 last week, age 94 this week.

 A service for a life long Christian a week ago and a visitation this week. A private event later. 

Other happenings we will fly in middle August one take off one landing each way. Also a steady list of appointments. 

Pills, pills!

 With breakfast and with supper I set out the current dose.  This morning last evening's  pill was still in the tray. Tucked up against the edge.  Another mini task for me  to double check.  For three quarters of a century my meds were zero.  BLESSED. 

Info for my siblings,  I also have a weekly shot (self administered). 

Visiting in Connecticut.

 Drive south on Friday. Plan to drive north on Sunday. A pleasant Saturday afternoon with temperatures nearly twenty degrees warmer than in Maine.
