Actually this has been a week-end of rest. We were concerned that we would be bored here and are amazed how how fast the time goes. After the morning of breakfast, medicines, personal care and walking exercises for Lee. It is NOON! After a small lunch, walking again. Fortunately we do have a lovely courtyard with lots of shaded sidewalks with not too many turns. Our best walk is late in the evening when it is a bit cooler. We are looking forward to the anticipated drop in temp next week.
Thought this might be a good time to share some of the descriptions of our new abode. Space is limited but it also has advanatages. For instance, I can stand in the middleof the kitchen and without moving my feet I have immediate access to the microwave, the dishwasher, the refrigerator, the stove, the kitchen sink and all my cabinet space! All I have to do is turn my upper body in either direction and there I can have anything! Another big advantage is that the one bathroom is located directly across from the kitchen and allows for no distractions from cooking, etc. I can apply my make-up and cook a pot of spagetti at the same time! Now I have to ask how many of you have that added convenience!? I will only leave it to your imagination as to the many other success I or Lee may have because of the limitied space!
Another added convenience is that I can sit on the bed and iron. Now that is comfort......a little tight, but if I tire I only need to lie down and rest for a while.....maybe even nap.
Seriously, Lee and I are very happy with Duke Tower. We have the lovely courtyard, good walking area. two flat-screen t.v's and all our needs are being met. We have free shuttle service serveral times a day or whenever we need it. That is truly a gift.
Our plans for this afternoon will be to watch a movie. MY Turn! So far we have watched all the golf, baseball, softball channels and all the baseba!l chanels. I have selected a good love story. This will guarantee a long nap for Lee!
More tomorrow from Boot Camp. Brenda
Howdy, so glad you are pleased with Duke Tower!
ReplyDeleteWe have just returned from church. Millard was our teacher today and did a great job. As always, our class begins with a sharing of information from you. During preaching it was High School Graduate Day. It was good seeing them marching into the church. I could not help but smile when thinking just how much I knew and did not know at that age.
Sara and I send our very best wishes and love to you.
I am going to begin forwarding as text by email your posts on your blog since several members have not joined your blog as of yet.

It is nice to hear that you and Lee have gotten some rest over this weekend and Lee's batteries are recharged and ready for a fun pack week of "boot camp!"
ReplyDeleteAs for the Curry Clubhouse, we have taken today for relaxing ourselves. I think Julia and I sent well over three hours sitting under the unbrella by the pool reading our books. It was nice just to relax and look over at her sitting next to me reading.
We are always thinking about you both and everynight you are including in our prayers.
Sounds like you guys are living in a place like my very first apartment. The bathroom was sooo little you could do everything you needed to do and then some by walking 2 feet in the door. Thats about as far as it went anyways. Actually had to step into the shower to close the door! And with my fear of tight places, make it kinda interesting if there was company over. I could hypervenelate just going to pee! Yes, I know I spelled that wrong but I CANT SPELL!!! So sound it out in your best southern draw and you will figure out what I was saying. lol
ReplyDeleteHope tomorrow goes good at "boot camp" Tell Lee he was to main topic at church this morning between me and his fishing buddy. Bet his ears was ringing good! lol
Keep up the good work and Brenda, thanks soo much for all the updates. I look for them daily!
Brenda, if it were not for the condition and reasons for your being at Duke Tower..I would say WOW!..Wish I had a little place with a shady courtyard and swimming pool! Glad you're getting adjusted okay. I talked with Vivian earlier to gush over missing last Friday's breakfast. (It was Hewitt's BD so I never gave our CVCC group a thought.) She said Dan B and Richard S were there and that Richard really enjoyed it. I gave her your blog address so that she could check on you. She said that the others were very interested in Lee's progress; now she will be able to get news to our group in Cat. Co. Tell Lee the boys got most of the hay done today. Our pasture was too wet, so it will come up tomorrow. They still need to do Lennie's as well. Also we have 2 new babies in the pasture. One was born on Lee's BD so he is Leeboy..One born Sunday..close to Hewitt's so I think I'll call it Hickie. LOL...Dorsey came over this a.m. while Hewitt was down in the woods looking for them and when he caught up with the cows, Bill had to help the new one out of the creek bed. The first mama cow gave it a pretty good butt..they said. Anyway we'll doing okay...will be going to annual conference Thursday afternoon. Though it will be meetings all day long, it will be in the mountains!! Praise the Lord!... We hope to catch up with Ben Sat. nite for dinner together. We'll be home Sunday midafternoon. Then the kids will be here about 6 for BD and Father's Day for Hewitt..Like I said...it would be nice to be in a little apt with a shady courtyard and swimming pool!!..Hal Love you guys..Take care.
