Kansas, Pratt - Thursday, October 15, 2015 - Visit with David

We got into our home for the next couple of weeks, David’s barn lot, around 12:30 this afternoon.  Just like always the wind is blowing across these fields with a purpose in mind – dust.  We’ll be here for the next two weeks before heading to Mesa, AZ for the winter.  We’ve started getting emails from the folks at Val Vista Villages Resort, looks like they are getting ready for the onslaught of snowbirds.

 

 

I’ve unpacked things we haven’t had unpacked since we left Maine in early July.  Feels nice to have things back to normal.  With all of our problems with getting the motor coach out of the shop and then dealing with Greg’s medical issues things have just been in limbo for the past few months.

I feel like we have this low sodium diet ingrained now as the way to think about how we eat.  We are still losing weight, just at a slower pace right now.  Greg is down 14 pounds and I am down 12.  Hopefully, when we leave Mesa next year we’ll be down to about where we need to be.  I don’t feel as apprehensive about cooking now, for a while I felt the stress of trying to think through new recipes and how I season the everyday things.  We have enough tried and true recipes and meals to fall back  on now so I can ease up and do some other things, like housecleaning that has been on the back burner for a while J
