We've gone from drought to flooding here in Williamsburg,va. Flood seems to be localized in my poorly drained backyard,my rental neighbors decided to build a shed in the drainage ditch below my property and the city says tough, I say what about my yard and all the mosquitos after heavy rain? Ernesto dumped 8 inches of rain and threw some 40 mph winds at us.Thank goodness it wasn't a hurricane! After a week of record breaking heat it certainly was nice to wake up with 59 degree temps outside at 4 this morning! Feels like football weather! Love autumn!

My goal was reached last weekend, Iplayed 2 arm golf in my Moose lodge annual tournament. Made it through 14 holes before the heat 100 degree temps. got the best of me, Glad I quit when I did,since my stroke happened on a hot day on the golf course last year, I was very scared last week!But it sure felt good to be swinging the club with both arms!

Looks like I'll be heading to Richmond next weekend for the Nascar race,used to go to both races every year but stopped a few years ago when the crowds got too big. My seat was big enough for one cheek if you know what I mean,30 people have to get out of the way if you need to use the restroom.The more I think about it I like my couch for watching the races! Don't think it's wise to tailgate all day any more either! Don't want to ruin all the hard work I've put in the past year! Think I might skip the race!

6AM and some drizzle going on here,walk time ,might need full sweatsuit and umbrella,haven't needed sweats in a long time!I'll check in again in a few,keep fighting the fight my brothers and sisters!

HI Bill so glad the golf went well for you. Glad you stopped when the temp went up. I don't do so well in the heat either.

 

I am glad to hear of your progress!!!

Ray and I just watched a documantary called "Survivng Katrina", all those poor people, it certainly brought it all back to us as here in Australia we saw it all unfolding on CNN.

 

Our government too is sometimes slow to react and not all the homes blown away in Cyclone Larry in north Queensalnd have been restored yet. Most of the talk from politicians has no-one follow it up and so it doesn't get the action it needs. But we go on believing what they say - incredible really.

 

Congratulations Bill on the two arm golf and hope you enjoy that trip to the Nascars. It is so good when you recover some of the skills and thrills of your pre-stroke life.

 

Sue.
