progress

 I did 2 things today!

    I know...big deal!!  But they kind of were.

    I downloaded an app. to my phone!  All by myself!!  

    I used to have Map My Ride on my phone, but it wasn't there anymore.  So I went to the App Store, found it, and downloaded it.  Then I used my e mail and password to get into th app!  

    I am excited!  You can tell by all the exclamation marks!!

    I rode my bike today, again.

    I just rode down to the end of the street and back.  It is only a mile, but I did not ride very much last year and my legs are not in great shape yet.

    On the way back I turned around at our corner and said to myself:  Don't ride off the road.l. Don't ride off the road.

    As I headed to the grass, I kept saying:  Steer toward the road.

    And. then I went farther into the grass.  By now I was about 6 feet from the road so I just got off my bike and walked it back to the pavement.

     To recap:  downloaded an app.  Went off the road but did not crash.

    Huzzah!!!!

    Hope you all had a great Fourth of July.  It was strange here because it was only Jackie and me.  And no-one has called us, despite the weather service telling people to check up on the elderly when it is hot.

    Dog Beth is frightened by the fireworks.  It is 11 now and she is up in bed with Jackie.  I took her out about 30 minutes ago and as soon as she got out the door, there were some bangs and she turned around and went straight to our bedroom.

    I hope tomorrow night is quieter.

Peace and Love
