He has told a couple stories lately that start with, "When I was little …" Today it was, "When I was little I used to climb that tree." He was talking about the Sweet Gum off the back patio. The picture below was from last summer.
Lately at night, he wants to read a story. Instead of turning on his bedroom light and prolonging bedtime, I have been making up little stories. It is fun when he wants to hear them again. They are nothing special, but they usually include an animal and Zach. Vince the blue jay and Leonard the turtle are the latest friends.
I am getting so strong. I had to do a set of exercises for this challenge the gym is doing this month. I ran a 1/2 mile with NO problem on the tredmill. I was talking the whole time. A week or two ago I had to do some short sprints. That nearly killed me, really. Now they are getting easier. Today it really felt like I was hauling the mail. I will say one thing, 2 exercise classes in a row is different than one session with a trainer and one exercise class. I am SORE. That trainer is one of the best investments I have ever made.
Finally a break in the heat today. I am going to go sit outside for a bit. The weatherman said that if we have another warm winter like last winter that the mega-hot summer temperatures would not quit because the earth will be reflecting so much heat. This is creepy. The trees are dying. Limbs are falling off.
P.S. I found this picture when I was looking for one of Zach in the Sweet Gum. He looks so comfortable.
