Visiting My Father

Today I drove down to Charlottesville, Virginia to visit my dad. I haven’t seen him in several months so it was time for a check in to see how he is doing. I found that he is doing pretty well. He has moved into the independent section of his Assisted Living Facility. He’s in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit. He’s got lots of space. He’s got the place set up pretty nice. He is moving very slow and sometimes calls my by my brother’s name but besides that, he’s in pretty good shape. I took him to Walmart and got a bunch of stuff. Then we went to lunch. Then to his bank and then back to the facility. He was very tired by the time we got home. We spent the day out and that tired him out.

An overall 3.64 miles today.

Button Sewing

The button on my favorite pair of shorts was getting very loose. I decided to take out my sewing machine to see if it could sew a button on my shorts. After doing some reading in the user manual I found that indeed it could. So I used the sewing machine to sew the button on and it worked! Yes, I know, it would have been faster to just hand sew it but I wanted to figure it out on my sewing machine.

I walked 1.40 miles today.

Wedding Day

Today was the wedding! My sister and I were the only family members who showed up for the wedding. That was very disappointing to my brother and his daughter. Even so, we did have a great time and the wedding was very special for my niece. I thought it was a lovely wedding. Here are the bride and groom and then a picture of my twin brother, my sister and me.

An overall 2.71 miles walking today.
