New Shoes

It’s been at least a year since Marilyn and I have been for a run and I have the belly to prove it.

My son Darren and his wife Sherry run a bit and have been raving about their new Nike Free running shoes. I’ve been thinking for months I need to do something and maybe these new shoes would be the ticket to get me back at it. So a couple of weeks ago, in a true reversal of roles, Darren took me out to help me buy me a new  pair of shoes.

So if I have new shoes, then it’s only fair that Marilyn has new shoes. Yesterday morning, both proudly wearing our new skins, Mar & I headed out on a sort of run around the park. It felt good, we both enjoyed it and for our first trip out in over a year, we both did pretty good. Now we just have to get in the habit of doing it again and again.

Gotta Run

And Closer

A week or so ago I told you that our new home was getting closer to being ours. I even showed you pictures of the inside. I’m sticking to that story. Albeit slowly, it is moving ever closer to being ours. Yesterday it finally made it into the shop to begin the inspection process and add the goodies like the satellite dish, satellite radio, surge protector, solar panel, built in vacuum, and more.

The original plan was that it would all be done and we would be moving in by September third or so. Maybe if we all cross our fingers together we can get it done by that date.

All together now…

Engaged!

Last Wednesday night we had a dinner date with our daughter Pam, her squeeze James and his mother Cindy. They chose 50 Point to announce that on a recent trip to New York City  they were engaged.   We are thrilled, in our eyes she couldn’t have picked a better guy! She did good, she  also got a great mother-in-law in the deal.

The ring they chose as an engagement band used to be my mother’s and it couldn’t have looked more beautiful. We both congratulate their more frugal nature. Could be Pam got that from her Mom & Dad. As we cruise in to our 30th anniversary I am reminded almost daily that I still owe Marilyn an engagement ring.

They planning  a  September 2011 wedding and we are looking forward to it.
