...and tell me Who Do You Love?
Old Bo Diddley song...
Trying to assist the digestion of this Jevity canned nutrition stuff, Deb and I have started taking walks around the neighborhood. We try to do so after each of the six cans per day, but we're actually successful maybe three or four times. Which is not too shabby...
We take turns picking a route.
We never go more than 4 or 5 blocks.
We like the alleyways and back yards as much as the house fronts and front yards.
We try to pick routes that will walk us past places we've never seen before. And, since we normally drive past these blocks on our way to or from somewhere, there are lots of places we haven't really seen. Within two blocks of where we live. Where we've lived for several decades, in fact.
We point out interesting architectural features to each other: spiral chimneys, elegant windows, carriage houses we didn't know were there. We pass lovely gardens. We smile at kids playing. We hold hands.
We're in love.

Randy,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Mike and I have had a some what similar expereince after his surgery, but nothing to the degree of your recovery and illness, of course. Its cool to see things in a new and different way and to pay attention to stuff we've "seen" before. I'm thrilled you and Deb are taking in the full positive expereince and helping your body digest and do what it needs to do in the process. You both are extraordinary people and I am glad I know you:)
I'd love to see a spiral chimney!
Love,
Diane
PS The pizza will wait until you, your toungue and the rest of your body are ready to really enjoy it!
Randy - I'd walk with you anywhere! Keep on going!
ReplyDeleteLots of love to you and Deb,
