I wanted to show off our formal dining room, where I was able to match the chandelier with some pretty wall paper..ooooh, aaaah.
This time of year is a good time to visit the markets where you can find local foods, vegetable, bread, pastries, dog treats, etc. The farmers markets are all over town on different days. A few weeks back I ventured to the Koreshan Park with my neighbor and her father, where we enjoyed the outdoors while shopping for delicious fruits and vegetables.
Norm is 90 years old. Norm and Russ play cribbage on a daily basis. He and his daughter have become great friends of ours.
It was that Friday, that the news broke out about the terrible terrorist attack on France. I have been sicken by the event all week and feel extremely sad and mournful for the precious people that died and were injured. So many families affected. It was a relief to learn that my dear friend and old high school beau and his SO were able to get home safely. According to his FB post, they were in a restaurant 15 minutes away from one of the blasts.
It's been so weird this week - to see people go about their day, like nothing happened. I listen to NPR and hear how frightened the people who live in France are.
I honestly don't think we are out of the woods, and at some point we will continue to fight this war on our turf. I will not live in fear, as that is what they want us to do.
I want to change the subject to sports and triathlon. I was fortunate enough to have a friend who referred me to coach one of his friends who lives in CA and qualified for Kona 2016 during a 70.3 race. She won the military division of the race and she is very motivated. I was happy to oblige and I plan to prepare her for an excellent race on October 8, 2016!
