I feel GOOD, as James Brown said it. I am traveling via wheelchair to more and more places….the farmers market. 12 blocks to church and then back. Rode down to neighborhood Irish pub and found no handicapped entrance, but they have their sidewalk cafe open now and the ice tea is wonderful. The owner said just rap on the window and he will serve me. My little baby 22 year old grandson is a physics major and wants to teach high school physics. How does he understand that stuff? Maybe he can teach me. I will be child sitting (or running) a couple of days a week this summer. I will love being busy….all the energy God has given me with the right food and Dr. Marc. Those two boys will be going on long spins with me…. no vegging out in front of the TV. The little 7 year old already has high cholesterol. He reads labels and is learning to make wise decisions. Poor kid…the curse of genetics. BUT we can do our best to over-ride our genes with SUPER foods and lots of exercise. I don’t want to hear excuses! “My whole family has an eating problem” SO! Be the first to break out of the family pattern. It is just harder to do but can be done. I know…been there.  Have a great week and ten days from now is the KY Derby. You are all invited. The marathon is this Saturday. I will be on the sidelines cheering them on. I think the “Moon Glow” is tomorrow night when they light up all the hot air balloons on the ground. Really crowded but lots of fun for kids and kids at heart. Get outside this weekend and enjoy the green…such a lovely light green…and all the flowers, the fresh air. My terrible grief has lifted and “I think I can make it now”, as the song goes. Thank you for all your caring and know you are all in my thoughts as I wander the streets and alleys (Mace in hand). Big hugs, Marge

shelter so they can help someone get out on their own and start a new life. It is rainy, cool and grey here this morning, but had a lot of fun going to the college next door and being interviewed by the students about life over 60. Four of us volunteered to tell all. The good, the bad and the ugly. How important good health is to us so we can continue to be independent, on our own, and not be a burden to our children or society. We all enjoyed the interviews because we enjoyed talking with the young people and SOMEONE  LISTENED! They might have been a captive audience, but we had fun. My weight is a pound below goal, but I am leaving my goal the same. This being vegan has really helped with the weight and the way I feel. I can’t comment on blogs and will have to see what can be done….you know I can’t live without commenting! Have a SUPER week and I am reading blogs, just can’t talk back. Love, Marge

that are really in dire need of food. It is not a hoax. I have been playing for several months now and try to earn 3,000 to 4,ooo grains of rice per day. The more people who play the better the results, of course. My b-i-l-, my nephew, grandsons play. It is free and a lot of fun.

  Water off in my apartment today. No warning. Where’s my oatmeal? Tomorrow my new fridge arrives and I get to move all the food. My kitchen looks like it exploded and parts are over the closets, the livingroom, the bedroom. Where are the bowls? the coffee filters? the COFFEE POT? They will finish the remodeling late Thursday evening, if all goes well. You know how independent I try to be. My b-i-l moved a large cabinet and the microwave for me. The rest I have done myself. And I will put everything back myself or I will never be able to find it! There will be things I may not find for a year.

    Enough whining. I WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THIS!!  I really am laughing at myself. I get so upset about the silliest things. Hope you are all on plan and have a lovely week. I will be eating out all week and PLAN to come back with no gain. Take care and get moving! Love, Marge
