I miss Nonna, especially when I’m in the garden. Her advice would have been priceless.<\/p>

Summer is a downer on Cape Cod if you’re living on a budget and not a tourist. <\/p>

This year, we’ve been making an effort, both of us, to get ourselves financially stable. It’s easy in some ways – any activity that involves expense pretty much gets passed by. We’ve found free music, though, and even a beautiful free beach. We have tans from working outside. Even having our little vegetable garden helps: organic produce is expensive at the farmer’s markets. We’ve been eating heirloom tomatoes, squash and cukes. Want to enlarge the garden next year.<\/p>

This week, Ron and I made each other a commitment to exercise every day, starting at 15 minutes and building up to an hour by adding five minutes a week.<\/p>

We started with a walk around the neighborhood last evening and caught up with Tony and his little pal Charlie, who went nuts over Ron.<\/p>

I had two check-ups this week, both went well. Told both docs how much I appreciated their good work this summer.<\/p>

We brought a truckload of wood that Ron hacked from a downed tree to the transfer station on Monday, and I cleaned up some more this morning. Thank goodness for Mike and Tim!<\/p>

Went to the gym at Sea Mist. 20 minutes on the treadmill for me. Ron did the stationary bike. We went for a dip afterward but were cut short by rain and thunder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
