Hey everyone! I'm still alive even though you couldn't tell by the activity(or non-activity) on the blog. Sorry to anyone who enjoyed it & missed it. I will tell you that I didn't feel real "bloggy" for quite a while & it may take a little while to get back into the swing of things. First thing, take it from me that back surgery is a BUMMER! And rehab is not much better. Thanks to everyone who asked & sent well wishes. Mary relayed all to me. Thanks again! My experience wasn't something that I really wanted to write about & I didn't think anyone wanted to hear me piss & moan. Hence the gap in my Blog.
I will tell you that my lifestyle has changed in accordance with my recent limitations. There are new activities on the calender that I never would have thought I would participate. The Snow Birds have me going to their Spaghetti Dinners, Pancake Breakfasts, Tuesday Dominoes, and
(I can't believe I am saying this) Friday Nite BINGO! I don't know what happened. I didn't age overnight but I am suddenly participating with the seniors. I am not naive. I know I am not in my 20's or 30's anymore, but when did I join the Bingo Bunch? The craziest part is I am enjoying it!!!!!! We are trying to do mornings more(8AM not 6AM) which has me walking with the ladies. It is good for my rehab but it also shows me how out of shape I am. These ladies are all older than me yet I still feel like they could walk me into the ground. I think next week I am signed up for shuffleboard. OH MY GOD, I think I am looking forward it. Well the retirement calender is pretty full until we hit the road again in April.
Part of my rehab is to get me back on the motorcycle. We have big plans for the Americade in Lake George NY. Yes, this is the same motorcycle rally we have been trying to get to for 3 years. I am going this year even if it means riding a motorized wheel chair! A Hoveround & some riding leathers & I'm good to go, but I should be on my Kawasaki soon. This year we are planning to visit the East coast again & then head up to upstate NY. First there will be a stop in NYC for the best NY cheese cake in the world & then Lake George NY. After that we have no specific plans. I told Mary "let's just spend the summer in New England". All she heard is "blah blah blah lobster", and she was sold. I think her mission is to eat every lobster in the New England area. Well, everyone's got to have a goal!
I've got to go now so until next time, from Largo FL because...
Home is where we park it,
Frank & Mary
We love the news, Frank! You're still doing a great job, and we love to hear what we're missing. Keep 'em coming!!
ReplyDeleteso glad you're back, Frank -- I see you walking in the A.M. and you are a "step-or-two" behind the ole-gals!! we'll be anxious to read about your New England adventures -- enjoyed the news last year... blogs are fun! smiles ;+) grammbo & %+) John
ReplyDeleteGood to have you back Frank. Nothing can keep you down, huh? Wished I had been able to catch up with you guys at the RV Show, TONS of folks on Saturday and Sunday when I was there. Little disappointed there weren't many smaller trailers or pop-ups. Jeez, when did a pop-up start weighing 4000lbs??? Guess we all need to go on a diet, huh?
ReplyDeleteGlad you're on the mend. The VA was talking about doing back surgery on me, and I was really dreading it. They decided to hold off a while and see what happens, and I'm real glad about that!

ReplyDeleteYea!!! Frank is back!!! Good to hear that you are on the mend and don't worry about doing the "older activities" these days. Sometimes it is just good for the spirit to just take an easy and see the small things in life. Who would have thought I would ever be enjoying crocheting and loom knitting or even just enjoying being at home with no where to go. Yes, this is the same Julie who used to plan shopping trips every camping event to the nearest Walmart :0)I hate going now...really, I do.
ReplyDeleteContinue to pray for you both and Foxy...
