It was much too short for sure. They had plans for a late celebration for @silvertop’s birthday plus Father’s Day today, which made it extra special! I’ve so many pictures and so much to share, however that will be in the coming days as it’s late and I’m tired. My steps for the…elizabethbit in # actifit • 3 days ago • 2 min readWe Arrived!……......North Cascade WanderingsWell, we are in North Bend enjoying a visit with Olivia and her mom and dad!

If so, you know that the main character relives the day over and over again. I sort of wish for a re-visit of yesterday with those blue skies and decent weather.

It was a good study as always. 😇😎👍 Once home, I spent some time outside on my garden swing. @silvertop was in his birthday chaise lounge enjoying the outdoors as well. Around 2 PM, hunger drove me indoors as I’d not had lunch as of yet.

It just depends on your world as it unfolds for the day. My day began with waiting to go back to the oral surgeon for a follow up. The tech did a scan and an X-ray as well as tapped my tooth with a metal tool and felt along the gum line.

Don’t forget to hug your kitties today! I slept in a little-well maybe not too much as I was awake at 7:00 and in the hot tub by a little after 8 this morning.

I needed an hour or so of it as it was super relaxing! 😎 Cyle and Cot have spent the…elizabethbit in # actifit • 11 days ago • 2 min readHappy Birthday To? 🎈🎁………….....North Cascade WanderingsHappy Friday everybody! 😎👍 I’m so glad the workday is done! It was a super busy day for me. Lisa had to leave early to go to a funeral, so I had the front end, the back end and the middle to deal with.
