Coffee’s ready. Grab a cup and pull up a chair. Today we have bagels with lox and cream cheese. The bagels were delivered this past weekend by our son from one of our favorite bagel places. He brought us two boxes. We put them in the freezer. They are fine there and just need to defrosted in the toaster oven. After heating mine, I sliced it and toasted it for a few minutes. We find that we don’t have any good bagel places near us. The one we used to go to went out of business during the pandemic. Our son tells us there is a good one near Palm Springs.
If we were having coffee I would tell you it has been a quiet week here. I decided not to participate in indoor exercise with mostly unmasked people. I did buy one of those foot pedal exercisers, mainly for my husband. I want to try it too for all the days when it is too hot to exercise outside.
It was so great to see our son and our little grandson last weekend. Our grandson just started TK, which is Transitional Kindergarten. He was born very premature so he is younger developmentally than other kids his age. His is so smart. He loves watching children’s music videos on his IPAD. I am getting familiar with his playlist. Some of the songs are ones my kids listened to when they were little, like ‘Wheels On The Bus.’ I am able to sing along with those. We have a stash of toys for him here, which he is not bored with yet. Some of the toys are over 30 years old. They were our kids toys that we had saved. He used to like to play ball with me, rolling a small rubber ball back and forth. I noticed this time he rolled me the ball while he went on playing with a toy he was more interested in. He was multi-tasking with Meme, and didn’t want to leave me out.
It’s hard to believe this is the end of August. Another year passing in this pandemic fog. I know we will come out it but the news from many places is sad. Stay well, stay safe, get vaccinated.

Notes Tied On The Sagebrush 
It is amazing that another year is almost passed and it feels like we are going back into the beginning of 2020 again. It’s like a scene from Groundhog Day.

Gavin is such a cutie Deborah! My granddaughter Dottie, was born early at 25 weeks and just turned 2 years old so we’re not sure yet what is ahead for in terms of schooling. She lives on the other side of the world to me but we stay in touch via technology. Yes I agree stay safe and get vaccinated is a great message. I’m now fully vaccinated and feel quite relieved about it! #weekendcoffeeshare

Gavin was very early too. Dottie is a cute name. I hope you get to see her in person soon. It is good to be fully vaccinated. Now we probably will need boosters. Thanks for stopping by, Debbie.

Your grandson is adorable! I’d be curious to know how the pedal pusher gadget works out. I’m still going to the gym (masked), but if COVID gets much worse here, I’ll probably stop.

Thank you, Janet. I tired the pedal exerciser once so far. I have to get used to it but I did feel it working some muscles.
