Tot With Rocks
Jan 25, 2023 Today at the lake it was grey, and I was alone. My swim buddy wasn’t feeling well, so I decided to go by myself. I was lucky to find a man and his tiny two-year-old daughter at the water’s edge, throwing rocks into the lake. Of course, I had to say hi READ MORE

Placeholder Walk Instead of Whining From the Couch
Wednesday, Oct 5, 2022-Cool, hazy, the moon is out. Today at the lake…I didn’t go to the lake. I’ve been on the couch for a few days with bad allergies or maybe a cold. Sniffly, sneezy, and extra tired. Seemed smarter to go for a short walk than haul myself and all my gear to READ MORE
End of Summer Swim
Sept 28 – Sunny sky, cold water. Today at the lake…it was COLD. I met with my swim buddy, K4 (lots of K names; I had to number them), and there was nobody in the water. Not many people at the park, either. Funny that the temperature drops a bit, and the park clears out. READ MORE
Dragging My Feet
Today at the lake…it’s been a week since my last swim. To be honest, it’s been hard to get back into swimming. I’m just not feeling it, and I’m not sure why. Could be the heat. We had a crazy hot summer, and I melt in the heat. I get so dizzy that I don’t READ MORE
The Flowers in My Hood
Sunday July 10, 2022 Today at the lake…I didn’t go to the lake. I took a walk. My first walk since surgery. I walked a block and back. Actually, it was two half blocks, but whatever. It was excruciatingly slow because I’m not putting full weight into my leg yet. I plant the walker, then READ MORE
Down Time is Starting to Chafe
July 9, 2022 Saturday Today at the lake…still not at the lake. It’s been one month and three days since my surgery, and I am finally out of the wheelchair (f yea!!) and walking with a walker. Progress Saw my doc’s assistant last week, and she said I could go ahead and walk and put READ MORE
Sunny, With a Light Breeze
Today at the lake……pure sunshine, flat water, and heat with a little breeze. Perfect. Except the closest I got to the lake was my landlord’s front lawn. What a view! It’s been two weeks and five days since my last swim, the night before my surgery. My leg is healing nicely, I think. The pain READ MORE
Not Bad for a Tuesday
May 17 6:35pm Today at the lake, the water was flat, refreshing, and full of sunbeams. There were several paddle boarders on the lake, a few motor boats, one fishing boat, a sail boat in the distance, and a floaty plane. Cuidado! Why the F floaty planes come to my lake to practice landings and READ MORE
