I gave hubby the day off today. I have been making him walk two to three miles every morning and then maybe another mile in the P.M. Actually 'making' is not the word; 'Motivating" is the better word, because he really wants to get out and stretch and test his strength. He is still napping mornings and evenings between the walks. Today I let him sleep in until 9:00 after which he got up on his own, showered, shaved and then ate my breakfast of cut oranges, biscuits and honey, bacon and hot tea--not exactly traditional, but I was trying to use up stuff.
Late this P.M. he is listening to Bocelli and snoozing on the couch...not really napping. I am making fish fillets, tarragon beans and fried potatoes with garlic for dinner. We will probably have ice cream for dessert. I am sipping a Chardonnay (which those of you who visit my wine blog know is not my favorite...will rate this one later.) This is starting to sound like a restaurant menu blog.
Anyway, I spent the day packing bookshelves in the basement, doing laundry, and working on the Paintshop Pro 9 version for which I have a 60 day free download. Maybe I will buy the upgrade...haven't decided. I'll upload one of the many photos I was working on for your perusal.
Hubby and I did take a short walk this P.M. just before the first thunderstorm in months came briefly through. It left some lovely sunshine patterns and sky colors before the gray sunset. It was nice hearing thunder after the long winter. Birds are just absolutely crazy singing with mating passion and establishing territory. Hubby heard one lovely piercing song that we didn't recognize as it was lower down in a tree behind a house. But, it did perk his interest.
Well, buzzer has gone off...so must set out food.
Definitely a nice Sunday!
ReplyDeleteYour wine blog I visit from time to time is a good reference for me when I wonder what to choose.
Personally I like red better than white except in summer time. I love Cabernet Sauvignon, with its flavor like lead. I know my description is rather strange.
My best wine I had in the United States, however, is Pino Noir. I had it at a restaurant in Holiday Inn, Seattle, with Northwest Sandwich. I was forced to stay there for 4 days due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I guess such an extraordinary situation made me remember the taste clearly. I would like to visit some day to try it again!
Yes, I would hope that you would come to the U.S. again so that your memories would be more normal. I have been to Seattle only once, but I really loved the area with the many forested islands offshore.
