What I Buy Wednesday
So I did. There are way more health features than I even knew about. There's one that really makes me happy--it measures how steady you are on your feet. So far, I am average! It monitors just about everything regarding my heart--I LOVE that. And this was my favorite thing that I've learned so far: my heart is very healthy--above average for my age! Heart disease runs in my family--my dad died at age 36 from a heart attack. My mom had AFIB and the twins have it too. The fact that I have an above-average heart is so motivating for me--my whole goal is to have a healthy heart! That's where the walking comes in which takes me right back to being able to listen without having to carry my phone!

Travel Tuesday
He climbed up 675 steps to reach the top. He told me that he nearly baled about halfway, but knew he'd be disappointed in himself if he did. So, he toughed it out.
He's super fit, so I wasn't a bit surprised that he did it. Very few people from his group did it. Quite an accomplishment for a 73-year-old. He hikes a lot, so basically, it was just one more hike! I'm glad I wasn't put to the test. I would have done it, but it would have taken me a very long time because I wouldn't quit either!

Me on Monday
Then he said, "What did WE buy for $165.00?" I remembered right away. Two weeks ago, when we were on our way to the beach with Sandy, we did some shopping after lunch. The store we went in to was going out of business and everything was 50% off.
I just couldn't resist this teapot. It's from St. Petersburg, Russia. I know, I know. You've heard me say how I'm giving my teapots away now. I'll enjoy this one for a while. When the girls are all here around Christmas, I'll make a note of who wants what teapot. I have plenty to share!
