On the trail... tells you not to cross the creek if overflowing... below is the creek riverbed... will be a while before it overflows by the looks of it now.

They should put these on the trails in Ottawa... if you get hurt then you can tell the operator where on the trail you are.

This is where I went rollerblading on Sunday



Found the button to turn the camera around without turning the phone... duh

Bed with end table for night stand.  Side rails were damaged so will get them next week so bed on floor for now.



Both end tables in living room for now until I moved one to bedroom

Just finished Zumba class.  I was cold when I started but very hot now.  One hour of that is a lot.  They did ones that they already knew so no breaks for lessons on the steps.  I kept up most of the time.  I had cramps when I went in but now I feel good... all of that wiggling around must have sorted out my problem.  It is over 100 out so I figure I will cool down at my desk and update the blog.
This morning's breakfast  with the big wigs was nice.  They are really FAMILY oriented... if you are an employee then you are part of the Whataburger family.  The CEO said that to survive here you have to leave your ego at the door and stay out of the politics.  The top guys are very blue collar and adamant that no job is to big or too small regardless of your level which is why you will see the owners take out the garbage without batting an eye at any of the restaurants if they see it needs to be done.
The CEO got choked up and almost shed some tears when he was talking about the company... very passionate people.

I went swimming in the pool last night before the storm hit after the afternoon storm.  There is a flowering tree next to the pool which shed its flowers into the pool so I swam between the petals.  There is a lane marked on the bottom of the pool which really helps me judge where the end of the pool is so that I can start my flip turn in the right place.  It is quite long too since I can get in between 15 and 17 strokes before I flip.  There were two girls in the fitness room I could see from the pool.. I would much rather swim than go on a tread mill.
Just finished my first Hatha Yoga class here at work.  You get to try one here at work before you have to pay your $5 per time.  I didn't do as bad as I thought I would ... with not being able to feel my toes I thought that I would lose my balance more but it wasn't too bad.  She just did easy balances since I told her I hated them - didn't tell her why... I think she was easy on me to make sure I came back and paid... she said that she was being bought to not do hard poses like tree.  I got really hot and nauseous though even though I was freezing before the class started.  It was my first non relax or laughing yoga since my treatments so I guess I did ok. 
Tomorrow night I get to try Zumba class.  I did them the last time we went to Cuba so I should be ok with them.
Got the 3 hour call for Sat delivery... they will deliver my bed, table, chairs and end tables Sat between 2 and 5.  My night stands are not in yet but  I can use an end table in the bedroom until the next Sat when it comes.  At least I will have a bed.
Tomorrow morning I have a breakfast meeting with the big wigs.  All new people get to have breakfast with the executives when they start... there are a bunch of us so it should be interesting.
Well better go home to have supper now.  Doing this from work since I do not have internet from the apt except on my two phones.

Jackets for dogs in Texas - put cooler packs in them to keep dogs cool

Bed for dog raised to be cooler with his own shade.  Welcome to Texas heat

Love the plants everywhere...even baby palms with the cactus under big trees at the mall.  At Home depot I can even buy a palm tree to put on the balcony... I am sure Sparky would love that ; )

How can you not like the views like this even at the mall where I hate shopping but love the views.
