Week of August 6


We found a new fun thing to do...zip around Four Seasons in our newly purchased golf cart! Whereas we do not live in a golf community, we do have many residents who own carts. After watching them zipping around each morning/evening and in the couple of times a year parades (cute, huh?) I thought it would be a fun activity for us to do during Michael's recovery. Boy was I right!! Since he always loved the feeling of the wind blowing by when riding his bike, this is the next best thing.

We strap his walker to the back and walk around different areas. We drive up to the pool, up to the gym, and soon will be able to drive down the road where they are building a new Sonic Drive In that will be opening fairly soon.

Up at the very top of the hill (our neighborhood is very hilly) we captured a beautiful sunset the other night. We are having a great time cruising the streets and Michael LOVES it! 💖

All is well

Things are going well. We just hit the FOUR year post-stroke mark last week. IN-FRICKING-CREDIBLE! Seems like a lifetime ago but other times it seems like last year. Michael continues to do well. He had a CT of the brain last month and all looks good. Doc just wants to repeat every few years to be sure blood flow is normal and the stent in the vertebral artery is holding up. Gym, twice a week and walking are our main activities.  We went nearly 3 miles just today. M is strong and wonderful!! Most importantly he is happy and positive. Here he is on a recent walk in our neighborhood. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping. We LOVE our slice of paradise.

Fun Fall - October 2021

We have done some fun things recently. We went ziplining with a group of 15 family members up in Big Bear. Michael did GREAT! We were all so proud of him and he was an inspiration to everyone. His motto for the day was, "I can do it!" We were also extremely proud of my mom who was checking the adventure off her "bucket list." She is 81 and was flying through the air like a champ! The following week we went to Ontario to see a pre-season game of our favorite basketball team, the LA Clippers. It was the first professional sports event we've been to since Michael's stroke. We had a good time.  Otherwise, we fill our days with music and fun. Michael continues his writing, I do my dancing, and we have our twice weekly gym days and all our walks, cart rides, visits with friends, community parties. Life is great.

March 2021

We are doing well. Our indoor facilities are still not open, but hopefully that will change soon as more of us get immunized and hopefully get Covid under control. Then we can continue going to the gym and I can line dance. In the meanwhile, we take lots of walks and cart rides when the weather cooperates. As you can see by the pic below we had some snow at the end of January. That was a treat!  Ben and Jake come and visit a weekend each month, so that is always a highlight for us.  They are both doing great.
