We're not sissies!


Autumn in Tennessee is so special! We had bright sunshine - the high for the day was in the mid60s - and they're predicting patchy frost overnight. To me, that's just about perfect!


Today was mostly a typical Monday. Swimming, coffee, Wal-Mart, washing, and bridge. The cards weren't too great, but the game is always good. I just wish we could find some more bridge-players.

We watched "The Queen", with Helen Mirren and James Cromwell tonight. What a great movie that is! Mirren is incredible. She truly was The Queen. I've always liked James Cromwell, but he played Prince Philip to perfection. If you haven't seen this one, check it out.

John went to the orthopedist because of problems with his shoulders. Exam and x-ray showed arthritis and bone spurs, probable bursitis and tendinitis in both shoulders. The doc told him that there didn't seem to be any problem with the rotator cuffs (surely was glad to hear that!). He got cortisone injections in both shoulders, and was given instructions for exercises. Also, no rowing for two weeks. He did the exercises this afternoon, and probably overdid. He said that by tonight, the pain was worse than ever. I hope he'll be better by morning, and will take it easier on the exercises tomorrow. Pain really ain't fun, and, as they say; Getting old isn't for sissies!

Today's picture is of St. Mathias Church in Budapest, Hungary.
