I also see some things differently now about my own life in relation to what is convenient or less convenient in homes, restaurants, etc.<br /><br />Fortunately my feet are doing better now, so I want to go back to the fitness center and see what I can do without overdoing. It seems to be a delicate balance.<br />Pat Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760779673175109204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-73594192526003767582017-12-15T12:51:24.489-08:002017-12-15T12:51:24.489-08:00It's snowing here now, and I just hope we get ...It's snowing here now, and I just hope we get enough for Tucker to go sledding in it tomorrow. I never thought about the dentist and having work done in a wheelchair. I wonder whether there are dentists who specialize in that. It really is an issue that they should figure out! <br />I can't wait to see Wonder. Tucker and I listened to the audio book and I really want to take him to see it. Maybe if there's not enough snow for sledding, that'd be a good thing to do tomorrow if it's cold outside. Thanks for the reminder. I like your curls and am glad you've found a good pace for your fitness to keep your feet from hurting!Kristi Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340629559188847788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-49811904791269207342017-12-13T21:21:33.442-08:002017-12-13T21:21:33.442-08:00I like the curls that keep appearing, but some of ...I like the curls that keep appearing, but some of them act more like cowlicks. :-)Pat Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760779673175109204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-47155245522813873682017-12-13T21:17:16.642-08:002017-12-13T21:17:16.642-08:00Maybe time will slow down a bit so it at least fee...Maybe time will slow down a bit so it at least feels like we have a little extra time to get those things done before Christmas. :-)Pat Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760779673175109204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361077859023918156.post-76258206874031819792017-12-13T21:15:16.618-08:002017-12-13T21:15:16.618-08:00Getting my Mom to her dental appointments involves...Getting my Mom to her dental appointments involves arranging for a transport vehicle because she is wheelchair bound. Because that can be a little frightening for her, I end up riding along with her (three different times over a three month period of time. Fortunately the procedures were nothing lengthy.

It's really pretty, but the piano accompaniment is a bear. I was glad I wasn't responsible for playing it! Another site for sheet music is http://www.petriefamily.org/. Our choir sang his "Silent Night Medley." That one I had played before in our last stake; it's not as difficult as "I Heard the Bells."Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136276061114462192noreply@blogger.com
