I am so immensely grateful for my health. I remember specifically when I was sick that I didn't even feel like reading. That was probably the biggest shock of the whole cancer adventure for me, as prior to that I had never been to sick to read. Rest assured, (you can ask Roo), my passion for reading is now as strong as ever. While I suppose that even reading can become an addiction I believe that as long as it is balanced with a bunch of other good things then it can only be a healthy addiction.
Along with my health comes the strength and the desire to share my passions with some one dear to me. Hence I give you.
Reading....especially when you're supposed to be sleeping!
Nature....can you see the turtles on the log? Baby one on the right!
Today we made the 15 km (each way) excursion to the Green Frog Tea room for what was perhaps the nicest lunch I have had in years. Even Colby agreed that the grilled cheese sandwich and chocolate truffle cake were the best he's had!
Oh, and why is it the Green Frog? It is a really cool rustic place out in the middle of no-where, and gets it's name from this concrete frog, which was apparently used a s step to climb up on ones horse...
And what does all this have to do with Ironman training? Well nothing I suppose, other than the fact that my lifestyle not just gives me the physical strength to do this kind of stuff with my grandson, but also makes me "feel" like doing it. To be able to share your passions with a grandchild is indeed a gift beyond measure.

Exercise, any where, any time.
And of course food! Colb and I like our eats!
