A Morning Bike Ride –
A necessary exercise. More important than the diet which is in second place.

A breakfast treat. Cheerios. During the week we got oatmeal. Sometimes with raisins. On Sunday we got Cheerios.

A name to remember. Barbara. My friend also liked her. He rode my bike that I couldn’t ride, with me on it to her house about a mile away. We sat in the ditch calling her name.
a country to visit
A Great City –
A city that can be found no more at all. Constantinople. Hagia Sophia. What is left of it. Visit history.

A Thinker –
A time to think about me. Can you overthink it? The real danger is not to think at all. Meditate and let God control your thinking.
a retirement
A Work In Progress –
A slow reduction in activity. Started morning bike ride at 71 and still doing it at 83. Time with grandchildren. Potted plants. Rocking chair. Neighborhood watch.
a thing that is the oldest
A Daily Use –
A stereo receiver that my son left with me. Being hard of hearing I need a speaker, the next oldest that my daughter gave me, close to my right ear. Both are connected to my TV. Now I have an ear to hear.
