91 YEAR OLD HIKES APPALACHIAN TRAIL

I am 91 years old. I do well overall. I do have a number of physical limitations. My brain is terrific, however

There are 91 year olds who are still physically in great shape. Like Dale “Grey Beard” Sanders who just reclaimed the rank of being the oldest adult to complete the 2,193 mile Appalachian Trail. The Trail runs from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine.

God bless him!

Was Lady Godiva for real? If she existed, did she ride naked trough the streets of Coventry?

Too much Donald Trump to discuss today. The blog would be endless. I leave Donald to tomorrow.

I never made it to The Grand yesterday. I was wiped out. It has to do with my sleeping pattern. Sleeping for me got all screwed up by the lengthy periods I was in the hospital. Difficult to correct.

Steve and Cindy brought me the cheese dish from The Grand. Something I frequently order. They were concerned I might not eat. It was delicious!

Nurse Paige comes at 11 this morning. Love her!

The Dixons arrive from Buffalo today. I am supposed to join them for dinner at Ocean Key. Hope I am able to make it. I would be unhappy to experience two bad dinner times in a row.

Enjoy your day!
