Calm, Cool, And Connected

These oldsters have kept up with the times. She was 89 and he was 98 when I snapped this photo. They are regulars at our Barnes & Noble Cafe in Boulder, Colorado. She wears a different hat every day. I especially loved the pill box she is wearing in this photo. 


Calm, Cool, and Connected

Yesterday It seems ...

We were seated across from this couple at the Barnes & Noble Cafe in Boulder, Colorado. I drew my husband's attention to them. They looked like teenagers from the past. I pointed this out to them and we all had a good laugh. I asked if I might take their photo. I smile every time I see it. It goes with the words to "The Way Things Were." But edit "were" to "The Way Things ARE!"


Goodbye Boulder





Goodbye Boulder. ❤️✈️



Our current location on earth:   We are now in Boulder for the summer, having returned from a 114-day cruise around the world.  While on that cruise we created a “phlog” as our online cruise “scrapbook.” You can see what we saw by going to  http://judeestalmack.blogspot.com/.

Autumn in Boulder


Just to let you know:   Dad had his pacemaker battery replaced two weeks ago.  He rightfully brags that he outlived the battery! 

Today, however, the Saga of the New Pacemaker continues.  Something is not right. Something is wrong because the new pacemaker is reporting a problem that the old one didn’t.  Even the doctor is not sure what is wrong.  So on Wednesday morning, the hospital’s surgery room is booked.  What happens first will determine the course of action.  They’ll check the pacemaker’s readouts again. If needed, Plan A is to shock the heart and hope both chambers will assume a more normal rhythm.  Dad will be right there on the operating table in case the shock loosens a blood clot.  Then . . . depending on the results of the shock . . . maybe they will go in to see if a wire is loose (they don’t think so, but aren’t sure) …so . . .well . . . we just have to wait and see.

If the best scenario happens…we may be able to keep our flight to Marco on Saturday.  If not, we’ll be in Boulder as long as it takes to get everything ticking right.

It’s been a beautiful autumn here. Warmer than usual say the locals. It’s been nice biking weather, thank goodness, because we’re still here without a car.   Here’s an autumn photo taken on (or up from) the Boulder Creek bike path.
