Introducing our Animals and More

Elvis

This is Elvis, my husband named him, I really don't know why for sure unless it has to do with the letter E.  He, also is a stray.  Showed up one day in the outer yard, one tiny little black spot and scared to death.  Jim started putting out food, as he would not come near him, and quietly talking as he would get closer and closer.  I would say it took him a few weeks but before long Elvis would comes running when he would sees Jim.  Now after a couple of months he comes up to our fence early in the morning when Jim is feeding our other cats and dogs and watches through the fence.  It is so adorable.  I'm hoping soon he will want to come in the yard but our other cats are somewhat snotty and one of our dogs, Tasha is so spoiled she can't believe we would give more of our attention to yet, another animal. I will be putting more pictures of our animals and our yard each day so sit back and enjoy a cup of tea, I, myself, would love a cup of earl gray, thank you very much.
     Besides our animals and yard and garden, we have another love.....The Gym.  We go three times a week.  It's called, "In Motion Fitness".  It's about 35 miles away and we love it.  They have a Wellness Program for Seniors or really any age.  I say that because some of our members are young (young to me anyway) but have had an accident, an illness or are recovering from something and need some extra care and handling.  That's what you get in this program.  Bree and Stephanie are our trainers inside with the machines.  They check our heart rate while we are doing our workouts.  It's great and you just feel so much healthier and fit.  Then we go outside in the pool, which, by the way is completely covered so we don't have to worry about the rain.  As for cold weather, well, this is CA but we are in the Northern part so it does get cold sometime just never any snow, plus the pools are all heated so we are covered.  We get a great workout from our trainer Kelly, (who also manages the cafe, at the gym. Talk about healthy food and delicious, well I haven't yet but just wait, I'm just getting started) who is the kindest person you will ever meet.  Our class in the water is unique as everyone has a different disability, although I prefer to say we are each uniquely different in our exercises.  Believe me we have a blast and I have met some of the nicest people.  We share our laughs, and difficult times but we always stay positive and happy.  Tootles and Doodles.
