Hooray! The Giants won!

Today was a most satisfactory day, as the Giants won against the Philadelphia team in AT&T park on a beautiful afternoon. We watched in the family room, glued to our TV set. The crowd was noisy and enthusiastic, and went wild when the game was over. People were paying hundreds of dollars for seats.
It has been a quiet week here in our neighborhood, and there has been no further word on the fire. Several of our neighbors have been away on vacations, but all but one family are back again. We feel more secure when all of the residents are at home again.
I continue to do my exercises and improve my walking abilities. I'm still careful not to fall.
Well, no news is good news, so I will say adios. Keep in touch.

A fire

A frightening event occurred in our neighborhood a couple of days ago when someone torched an unoccupied house down the street and almost burned it down. The fire department got it out, but since it is surrounded by redwood trees, it could easily have caused a disastrous forest fire. We have no idea who set the fire, and of course we are all on the alert for strangers in the neighborhood. There are several unoccupied houses around, any one of which could be a target.

Went into the clinic for my checkup, and things are going well. I am continuing my exercises and am getting stronger every day. My husband got an adjustment to his medication, so we are all set for awhile.
We are still trying to decide which mattress we want to buy. There are some pretty good sales going on so we should be able to get a good one. Well, take care and keep in touch.

All is well

Hi all, here we are again, practically as good as new. i have been practicing my physical therapy exercises, and can see a big difference in how I walk and how I go in and out of the living room and the family room. I hope the therapist can come for a few more weeks, but I suppose a couple more weeks is all I will get. Anyway, things are looking up!
Weather up here is lovely, so I took a short walk around the house, and sat on the bench by the side of the house and watched to see who would drive by. To my disappointment, no one came by, but i did see a squirrel and a couple of bluejays. It is hard to believe that it is October already.
Well, all is well. My injured leg has healed and I was able to eat quite a large dinner, which earns for me a half of a chocolate bar, doled out to me by my husband, who is quite strict about how much sugar I get to eat. So take care, and keep in touch.
