Walking, 2019

I am trying to get back to my daily walk.  My blood pressure numbers keep going up. I think a daily walk will help bring the numbers down.  I am trying for 60 miles each month, or about 2 miles a day.  So far I have 10 miles for this year.

Helen said I should plan a destination like I did in 2015.  Looking for about 700 miles.  I have decided to walk to Cattlesburg, Kentucky.  That is where the kids mother's family is from.  With Sister Betty's help I have been looking for thrive ancestors. I will go visit the family and just ask them.  I think this is a sure fire plan.

We survived

Made it in to St Louis about and home by 12:30.  No problems.  And everything is ok here.  No new goat babies yet.

Hannah was pleased with her souvenirs.  She is a little hard to please.  She liked the yen the best.  The $10 yen says 1000.  I got us matching shirts but she took both shirts so all I have now is the shells I found and the shells I  bought.

I got robert regular t shirts at the px.  I knew he would not want an okinawa shirt.

The shells below are stacked turtles made of shells with a bobble head.  I am not much on souvenir junk but I like the shells.  Even the purchased ones.

Good to be home.  A couple of days ago son was asking what we wanted to do.  I said I was like robert. I want to go lay on my couch and watch tv.

We leave the hotel within the hour and fly out of okinawa at 1:30 Saturday.  Then land in St Louis at about 6 pm Saturday.
Just call me flash.

Last day

It has been fun. Wednesday it rained all day so we went bowling and they we not to see water man the new movie.  Thursday we went to the WWii memorial and to the beach again.  There were lots of stair steps but it was beautiful. Then we went to a snake museum and walled thru a cave.  We went to a raw fish restaurant but only Lane ate raw fish. I ate some fish but not raw.

Not sure what we are doing today and tomorrow is the long road home.

The first pic below is a grave
  They have these little houses all over. Sometimes right among where they live.  I posted a pic of them earlier but did not explain that it was a cemetery.

What to do on Christmas day

Why, go shopping, of course.  We first went to a cliff with a view and then to a local shopping district.  Was fun with lots of walking. And we ate st A&W.

Who knows what tomorrow holds.

Merry Christmas

It is 7 am Christmas morning here. Everyone is still asleep.

Yesterday we went to a castle, lots of walking, and to a local restaurant night, lots of meat.

Not sure what is on Friday today.

Here are some pics.
