Hi, I am back! John and I have taken a vacation while I was pondering over what to do with my blog and we got back yesterday. Many thanks to the folks who stopped by even when I was not writing anything.

Here is what I have decided to do. This past year I have taken a few falls which has made my adventuring more precarious. In addition to a bad knee I have also wrenched my back, and torn the rotator cuff in my right shoulder. I still have not decided whether to have the surgery on it. It means a long recovery with iffy results.

In order to help my knee and back and be more mobile for a trip with our daughter for her birthday in March, I have decided to lose some weight and be serious about the rehab exercise for my back and shoulder. I am going to take a look at the new WW plan which has totally been revamped since I worked for them years ago. If I decide to go that route, I will start including a point count for the dinners we make. I imagine this will all start around September 22.

Also to be a good citizen of the earth, I will try to increase the number of vegetarian or vegan meals a week. I am hoping to include an emoji that will identify the type of meal easily.
