Diet or Velcro?

I went to the doctor last week to renew my CDL health certificate and he told me I was in great health, except my belly! It seems that I have gained a few pounds since my last visit and I have a small hernia that is getting larger as I gain weight.

A friend once told me you can know you’re fat if your shoes have the knot tied on the side and not it in the middle. I checked mine today.

Diet, (or Velcro) here I come!

It's a Bad Sign When Your Hotel Gives You Earplugs!

We traveled to Holland, MI today and looked at a Windmill (that is another blog). Then headed to Nappanee, Indiana. I was looking forward to a good night 's sleep in this sleepy little Amish town.

We checked into our rooms and along with soap and shampoo, they provide Ear Plugs! I thought this was odd, but nice, to provide some relief from roommate noise, until I heard the TRAIN! It passes every hour and they blow the horn right at the motel! I drank 3 cups of coffee at supper so the train won't wake me. I'll already be awake, again!

Louisville tomorrow...

I Wanna Go Home .... Oh, How I Wanna Go Home!

I'm on the downhill side of our Merry Makers trip up north. We are heading home Friday, and I will be a happy man.

I haven't slept well on this trip and I just figured out why. I had 4 pillows on my bed and thought I had to wake up every 2 hours and use another pillow! They put me in a handicap room, for some reason, and the bathroom lights are motion controlled. So every time I got up and went in, all the lights and fans came on and woke me up even more!

I'll be glad to get home.
