Tuesday's treasures

 

From the internet


Elizabeth, Mary and John on a lunch trip with the Lakeview Center van..."Van Clan"

More seniors on Van Clan trip.

So glad someone posted these on Facebook. I do miss sitting at a big round table for lunch in the Lakeview Center's dining room...the downstairs was damaged in Hurricane Helene so it's now just a pick-up site for boxed lunches daily...until there's a trip to a restaurant.


Not many Seniors doing the local slide near Brevard...and it's really cold water these days. But just wait...there will soon be many people in line to go down Sliding Rock into the pool below.



Do you know your oaks? The bark is also helpful for some of these...and I admit to only knowing a few myself.

Meanwhile, the YouTube capture of the hostage taking of 12 demonstrators in the Mediterranean  Sea outside of Gaza by Israeli forces.


Toward the end of the video is this posting, probably by Israeli press since all the 12 had thrown their phones overboard and there were details of a soldier handing everyone sandwiches and water bottles.

In my life, I discovered something interesting. While panting after the first minute of cardio exercise (marching in place to a video) I stuck the pulse-oximeter on my finger, to see my heart rate. Surprised to see it was only 81, no where near the 90s that I'd had several months ago. I was panting away, but my heart was beating at a pretty normal rate, not strained.

I'll have a question about that for pulmonology soon...I did just turn in 2 lab cups of spit to be examined to see if any more (or the same) bugs are in my lungs. So for now I'll try to get up to 5 minutes of cardio no matter how much I'm puffing away. (I'm still at around 3 minutes after just a few tries.) It's a long way to 30 minutes, isn't it?
