Summertime! |
|
Summer is hot at Sun City Carolina Lakes.
We've been cooling off at the pool almost
every day. Retirement living is wonderful.
I never cease to marvel at how good the
Lord has been to us down through the years.
Both Anne and I are in good health and
are continuing to settle in to the many
activities offered in our community. We
have many new friends and enjoy backyard
cook outs and "game nights"
with our neighbors. Anne has joined the
staff of a community magazine and I have
joined the photography club and I'm walking
3 - 4 miles each morning.
God Bless you all,
Maurice

Words for Walking!

I don't know what to tell ya!"
"Going to the gym is becoming routine.
I leave the house by 8:30 am, stop and buy
a newspaper for later, and check in at the
Lake House. My regimen is this. I walk a
little over a mile on the treadmill and
then move on to the weight machines. The
final third of my workout is walking the
indoor track
While walking on the track, I was having
trouble keeping count of my laps. I would
finish a lap and think "was that 4
or 5?" Therefore, I decided that I
needed a better way of measuring how far
I had gone. Since 24 laps made a mile, I
decided walk 26 and give each one a name
using an alphabetical list of special words.
The special words I chose are attributes
or attitudes that need improvement in my
life. At the start of each lap, I say the
word to myself and then ponder it as I walk.
As prompts for better motivation, I have
decided to begin a series of postings highlighting
each word. I’m not sure how often
I will write, but my goal is to be finished
by my sixty-fifth birthday on June 1."

Camp Nanapoppop - 2008
|
|
 Jordan
and Kendyl came down to Camp Nanapoppop
during the week of July 14 - 19. We all
had fun at the pool, going for walks and
riding on the neighbor's golf cart to the
dog park. On Thursday, we went to the Riverbanks
Zoo in Columbia, South Carolina where we
saw lots of animals. There is a beautiful
garden there as well.
On Saturday, Sun City Carolina Lakes held
a "Grandkids Day" at the Lake
House. Jordan participated in a tennis clinic
and Kendyl played in the bounce house and
did cartwheels all over the lawn. Later
in the day, Tony and Paula came and we all
went to the pool to cool off.
It was a blessed week of fun.
