Day 212

Today is the day folks, when the future of the United States is to be decided. Either the beginning of the end, with Biden, or, on to another prosperous future with President Trump. We have already voted. Have you?

Try to imagine, those of you that have not retired yet, Biden is going to stop Medicare, AND, your SS benefits, if elected. Do not know about you, but to have worked all of one’s life, hoping to retire with one’s SS benefits and Medicare, only to have them taken from one would be a disaster. Only you can be responsible for such a future.

Those of us that are already receiving our benefits will keep them. Those of you still working will have to continue to work in order to have anything whatsoever.

Until the votes are counted, stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and, protect your loved ones.

God bless the US.

Day 211

Have I told you that I am still growing out my hair? As it is now, it is just to my shoulders, and it has so much more salt than pepper, it is really starting to look descent.

Yesterday, however, I was as ready to shave my head. Today, I am more relaxed, more amenable to letting it grow. It is definitely more work than I care about giving it, but, Ivan likes it, so there it that.

You can just see the black and gold headband.

I wear headbands that match whatever I am wearing, and that helps, some. To have hair in my face, however, makes me crazy(er) than usual. I cannot stand the tiny wisps touching my face; it feels like bugs.

We shall see what happens when we start riding the bikes. Probably going to do the “bun” business with a baseball cap and be done with it.

When all this takes place, I will let you know. Until then, stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and, protect your loved ones.

Day 210

The other day, we received eight zipped plastic “bags” of black garlic that I ordered from Amazon. We have never tried black garlic, but have heard about the health benefits thereof.

WOW! We were completely blown away by the tastes, and textures, of the de fe w de q no . It was nothing like we expected. It was dark, soft, muddy, vanilla in taste, hard to describe, actually. It was wonderful!!!

And, yesterday, we got the box of goodies, from my sister in law, that she received from Amazon, in our name. It was like Christmas. We were both digging through the box, looking for the things we each ordered. I got sixteen packs of seeds for my indoor herb garden; Ivan got his Fannie May mint chocolates, and, his favorites, Truffles.

Another fun fact- I ordered our bicycles from Amazon.com.mx the other day. Wow. The savings account took a bit of a hit with that. They are from Schwinn, the tires are only twenty inches tall, and it is foldable, and, about twenty four pounds in weight. The fold-ability will allow us to take them up to the condo, for safety. If you look them up on line, they are called the Loop. In case you do not want to look it up, here are a few photos.

I cannot wait to start riding the bikes. We have a newly remodeled bike, and walking path less than a kilometer from the condo that is absolutely breathtaking. New palm trees, new flowering plants, on both sides of the path with the Rio Churubusco (river) running through it. (I could not help myself). I have no idea how long it is, or the altitude of the terrain but will find out in a few short weeks.

The bike should be here in two to four weeks, so, while we wait, stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and, protect your loved ones.
