Ron

We are in Florida visiting cousins. I talked about Anne yesterday so only fair I report on Ron today (don't want him feeling left out)

Ron is a work in progress! He needed some work .... I think we made progress.

Where Anne's T-shirt reads ---- DETERMINATION
Ron's reads ---- been there - done it all -- don't anticipate much more!

Life has become one big "take away" --- his boat / his truck / his motor scooter!

Ron does have some serious health issues. He will undergo surgery early April.  His blood report right now isn't good so his energy level is low.

When we arrived I thought  Ron and his chair were permanently attached --- everything he needed for the day was at his finger tips. Not good.

He needed motivation.
It was parked in his driveway. He has just purchased a new Lincoln MKX SUV --- beautiful.

Funny how we managed to find somewhere we just had to go --- every day. Don would drive and Ron would navigate (no way was that car leaving the driveway without him in it). At our various destinations there was shopping to be accomplished. Ron walked Costco - Sam's Club - Walmart - and the Deli. We did let him snooze while we bought groceries. Point is ----- he was out and about and getting exercise.
As we age it gets harder to do what we know is good for us --pacing our day -- eating properly -- regular exercise -- proper rest. The effort however is worth the reward -- we feel so much better.
I hope you enjoyed all the exercise Ron. I know you appreciated being out and about.
Hope your surgery goes well.
Thanks for the hospitality.
Keep moving. We will be back --- we owe you a picnic!
