Evenings in Oklahoma

Even though we think it never happens, the wind calmed down and the temperature was perfect this evening.  Neighbors were all out in their yards planting flowers, walking the dog and just visiting. I love these kinds of evenings in Oklahoma.

Don and I realized that it was time to start planning for Ruidoso since it is a month away when we leave. We will head out sometime the 1st wk of June.  Need to start eating everything out of the refrigerator, figure out how to take the scooter to Ruidoso, & start setting aside things we need to take.

Choices for taking the scooter:

• Take pickup only with scooter in the back and drive the pickup all summer in Ruidoso.
• Take the pickup and car to Ruidoso.
• Take the car and buy a hitch and small trailer to take scooter.

Not sure what we will end up doing but something to think about. 

Finished the May Newsletter for the neighborhood.  I always release a deep breath when that is done each month. This is my only deadline in my retirement life.

My training and walking has gone well this week.

• Saturday, 5 miles & shopped for flowers
• Sunday, 4 miles, visited mom and we did more shopping for plants
• Monday rest, activities meeting & took mom some plants we dug up
• Tuesday workout with 30 min. elliptical, 30 min. weights and walk with Abby 3 miles. Then appt with gynecologist for annual paps smear and went shopping at Stein Mart
• Wednesday was 30 min. elliptical, 15 min. weights & 3 miles around the indoor track. 
• Fifteen miles total so far this week and the weight has even gone down a lb or so. 

Shins are feeling better and not as sore now.  Hopefully that soreness will be gone for good.
