Tag: Band Concert

It is incredible that we are 1/3rd of the way through this year already but HERE WE ARE!

It has been four months since I ran across an article on sinuses and upper respiratory infections and gotten back on track to a fit and healthy life.  I have been hitting my aerobic workout six mornings a week and acing the most intense ones.  I am doing weights three nights a week and that is going well.  I am consistently gaining strength and beginning to show some toning in my arms and my back.  I have begun working on muscles that I did not even know I had.  

I have also been continuing my sinus care,  including the Neti Pot rinses every evening.  The results have been phenomenal.  I am breathing easier, my coughing is minimal compared to what it was, I have not had any asthma/COPD/or bronchiectasis flare ups  and my vision continues to improve.   Even when we are out at night, the glare from headlights and streetlights do not bother me in the least!

On the family front, I had a good visit from my daughter this past week.  A stop in for a few minutes turned into a tea party for a few hours.   We also had a visit from granddaughter Genie who came to get Grandpa to trim some boards for her.  She brought me a beautiful bouquet to honor my mother’s passing eleven years ago Saturday.

Saturday, we had the pleasure of attending a band concert that granddaughter Maddy was performing in.   It was an amazing opportunity for her to be accepted into the Saskatchewan Youth Honor Band.  There were three bands involved – elementary school, high school, and adult.  They had ONE DAY to practice together before the concert.  Each band played for thirty minutes and to wrap up the night all three bands joined together to perform “Let’s Go Band”.    The joy and enthusiasm and passion of the performers (especially in that last piece) was just over the top.    The performers and their directors did a fantastic job of coming together! 

Finally!  Molly has been really good for the past week or so.  She stayed home alone while we attended Maddy’s concert and there wasn’t a thing out of place when we returned home.   She is doing great!

That is all I have for now.  Take care and have a great rest of the day!🌞
