Lunch with Carmine and Robert, Animals at the Zoo

















January 28, 2007

Red Lobster has some yummy dishes! We went for lunch with Carmine and Robert after a little stop to fix an electrical problem in Stevie's room. Kathy still has the "touch" she got from helping her dad years ago. Our waiter at Red Lobster dropped the camera, got the batteries back in and took the shot. You can see he was not too good at getting everyone in the picture. Well, our food was good from lobster bisque to lobster pizza and ended with keylime pie.


On our way home we stopped at the Pittsburgh Zoo. The two tiger cubs were out playing. They enjoy attacking each other and running around. Mother tiger likes pacing near the door expecting it to open at any time. The polar bears are getting adjusted to Pittsburgh. One paces the other was walking around over the rocks and looked like it had gone for a swim. But the best was the snow lepard pounced on his ham shank like it was prey. The poor lepard crashed into the rocks, slid over the edge and banged into the fence. He did it several times before settling in to lick out the bone marrow and chomp on the meat of this bone treasure.


On our way out of the zoo we ran into Mrs. Bateman and her daughter Allysa. Kathy had taught her older daughter, Amanda, in kindergarten. Amanda is now thirteen!

Hospital Stay to Camping Out

Update: morning started early with vitals checked every four hours, bloodwork ( interesting side note: you are given an IV port in the emergency room, but that port is not used to retrieve blood for any of the various tests once you are admitted. Instead someone comes and draws blood through a new prick hole each time. ).    I started taking a new pill, Imdur, that helps keep the arteries open. It gave me a terrible headache so I won’t be taking that again!    Went for a CT angio of the chest. Then I waited       It is now 3:00 and they are going to discharge me!!    Yippie. That was about three weeks ago. Since then life has made a 360. We bought a house!! A touchspot really because we still plan to travel. We bought a new to us PleasureWay!! We are scrubbing and painting the house. It is the best way to get to know your new space. And it makes it your own. I take it slow and sit more than I r...

Meals In Hawaii

I would say we ate well when we were with Justin in Hawaii in May/June! Yea, I know, Coffee isn't a meal. But coffee is a good way to start the day! Enjoyed a beer from time to time. Red wine is good with a meal too. But mostly we have water with meals; Will likes a squirt of sweet lemon in his.

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.
