Sara – way overdue!

Hi everyone!  I have no excuse for not posting – except the very weak one that I wanted to add some photos from my visit to Massachusetts – but I have not gotten organized to even get them onto my computer.  So this will have to do.  Maybe I will add them later.  I did [...]

Lia – Doing great

Dear All,
We are in the middle of a visit to family and friends in Montreal. We are walking, hiking, swiming, and just having the best of times. Nothing very excessive and certainly nothing to brag about, but just enough to (perhaps) counterbalance all the good food we are eating.
Sending you happy holiday thoughts!

Lynn – delighted to join you

Hello from your newest member.
I found my way to this blog by a roundabout route–and it’s just what I need to stay on track with exercise. I like to move and exercise but am not always disciplined about it–and I also like to just sit and read a book. Recently, sitting has won out over [...]

Claude – back into la belle vie (long post)

Well, except for two consecutive visits to the dentist’s surgery (two hours each!), I am back into la belle vie.
I haven’t posted for three weeks. First, there was the verdict week, when we spent three whole days locked in a hotel, not being allowed to even get out for a few steps, working from 9a.m. [...]

Sandy – struggling on

It’s almost like going back to square one – but this time more because of an aching back than knee problems. Oh what fun it is getting older!
Anyway, having come through a few weeks of  being low mentally as well I’m slowly trying to get back to more physical activity.
Walking uphill towards home makes me short of [...]

Right in the middle of trying to pack for our journeyt tomorrow to Montreal. The last tten days have been very busy, but I did manage to go walking 20-30 minutes long six days of the week. So, feeling quite good.
Claude, all the best getting back into your normal routine. All the best.

Sara – from the woods near the beach in Massachusetts

Hi, everyone!  I am here near Gloucester, Massachusetts, staying with some friends who have a lovely New England house in the woods near the beach.  I feel so spoiled, it’s lovely!   Everything in the house is Provencal blues and yellows.  Mmmmmmm.  Yesterday was spent mostly in the car, getting here – not always pleasant – [...]

Lia – back on my feet

Was under the weather with an infection the last while, but feeling back on my feet again.  Been out for 20-30 minutes of walking the last 4 days.  Hoping to keep this us this week. There are a lot of social events going on in our lives presently, so if I can do at least [...]

Sandy – huge apologies

Hello everyone. After such a long absence I feel it was most impolite of me not to have tried to explain sooner. Anyway, I had a bit of time in the doldrums and didn’t feel like any sort of blogging – and I didn’t want to share that kind of depression either.
However, I made a (re)start on [...]
