There’s a Sting soccer tournament going on in Denver so the fam is gone for the weekend. My granddaughter is looking stronger than ever this summer. Weights, runs, and PT all help strengthen her body, hips and legs. Of course she’s always a winner in my book😉👏🏻🥰❤️. Most of my day is writing, reading, and mending that quilt🙄. Old fingers resist😄. I’m gathering goodwill/ church items I no longer need or wear, weeding out my cupboards. I don’t wear shirts, really, I’m more of a soft v-neck sweater person. Easy on and off and cotton shirts no longer easy. Here’s a personal story about a shirt…

When I was in physical therapy for my knee replacement I would scooter over to the building which was across the street, and then I was put in a room with a table to sit on. Part of the table folded and collapsed and I fell on the floor. I yelled help and in came this doc I will never forget ☺️. He said let me pick you up and I said, you can’t, I’m too heavy. He said no you’re not and lifted me right up and told me to hang on to him. I did, because of course I couldn’t stand on useless legs. When he pulled me up my head was in his neck and shoulder. I smelled a fresh cotton lineny scent from the light blue Oxford shirt he wore. And he was holding me really close and I thought…(this is embarrassing) but I thought okay, I can just die right here😂.
