Sunny Saturday

Today we went to a funeral for a 97 year old lady. There were only 10 people there. I suppose if you live that long, most of your friends and family are all gone.

I have decided to go back to my swimming class. Now that we are not going to FL. I have the time to do it. I like walking for exercise, but I am fearful that my knee will give out on me and I would really like to pass on knee replacement if I could.

Gary is somewhat better, but still off balance. I think it may be his eyes since I notice that he keeps changing one pair of glasses to another.

I finished the memoir of Chesley Sullenberger. I don't often have favorite heros, but this book touched me by his integrity, as he says in the book "integrity is doing the right thing when it is not convenient". I recommend this book....what a man. It is refreshing to read about someone who doesn't always think about just himself and always giving the credit where credit is due. He is not a greedy man. He is still wearing the water soaked shoes that he had on when he landed in the Hudson. Besides my dad, I have also been very touched by Tim Russert....I cried for days when he passed away.

We ate out last night and then went to North Park for awhile. I am looking for magazines on how to decorate my bedroom, but they are all about kitchens and bathrooms. Once I decide on a color, it should not be toooo difficult.

As much as I don't want to say this I must...no twitter for 3 days.......no caffeine, alcohol, choc. and I am still drinking that God awful tonic water. Stay tuned....does anybody read this????

Until later,

Pat Swanson Vandemore Davison Hansen......can you get all that on the tombstone????LOL
