You know what? I look at the stats for this blog from time to time and the number of people who are reading this have been very gradually diminishing. I'm fully aware that part of the problem is the fact that I only write once a week and it's hard enough for me to remember to post something, so how much harder must it be to remember to read it?
But I'll start posting more on Facebook when anything momentous (or just funny) happens and I think I'm gonna wind this down as of today. Feel free to comment if you feel strongly about it, or just email me occasionally, ask what's going on, and I'll be happy to report in. It's been over seven years since I started this right after I retired. And the older I get, the less exciting my life is. But at this age, that's the way I like it.
Love to you all and happy trails!

Back to Normal
Well, almost... the traffic in Katy is still obnoxious because we have one of the only north-south highways west of Houston that is passable. It's hard to get anywhere bypassing the freeway, but small price to pay for the devastation of Harvey. And then there was Irma... I have a cousin in Sarasota who just posted that she evacuated. Thank God! Now just hoping she has a house to come home to.
Other than storm issues I was happy to get back to yoga and Zumba this week. I'd really missed it and was even sore after yoga. Our teacher always says we can do it at home, but I have dogs. Watch this to see what happens when I try it at home... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX0IGm2dH3g.
I also was surprised when a woman came up to me at Costco and said I had the healthiest basket she'd ever seen. I told her it didn't happen until I was in my 60's (she was probably 40-ish), but was very proud. Not something I ever dreamed I would hear.

The Beginning of the Aftermath
My good news is that I got Glory into the vet Wednesday morning and she was pain free almost immediately. It also happened to be time for her annual exam (I had no idea), so killed two birds.
The water is still rising in some neighborhoods near the reservoirs. My cousin, Charles, had to evacuate and sadly, that's all I know. I'm sure they're safe, but have no idea about the level of damage to their home. I am just so proud of the people in and around the Houston area, as well as the whole country, coming to help. It's good to be a Texan at times like this.
I drove into town this afternoon for lunch with my Heights friends. They all stayed dry, too, but the traffic going and coming was horrendous! The toll roads are free now, but people on the freeway kept swerving over into the toll lanes and then jumping back over before thy hit the cameras (which were off). I don't know if they were all just lookie-loos or actually had someplace to go. It was like rush hour, so I watched my alcohol intake since I had to come back in the same mess. Whew, I made it!
