We record a lot of things and so when we are too tired to talk or read, we check the long list of things we've recorded and stare at that. Hallmark, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, McGiver, Scorpion, Designated Survivor, or some DVD in our collection. Oh and HGTV.

Your precious man cub is getting so big and handsome. Unfortunately I truly understand your comment about the aches and pains of middle age. It does not improve with old age. I am motivated to wake up every day just to see what else can hurt. With me it's my knees that hurt. Sometimes it's my shoulder. Sometimes it's my neck when I sleep on it wrong.<br /> Thank you for another Hodgepodge. Enjoy your time away from the Hodgepodge. See you in two weeks.

I hate to tell you that the whole physical decline mess increases along with the age number. But, as I told someone this morning, "What we do about it depends on how long we want to live and how sick we want to be when we die."

Some days it is much more, but most days it feels more like 60%. It averages out, I guess.<br /><br />And that "mancub" -- could not be more adorable.

He's so cute, too.<br /><br />I didn't watch any of the Olympics, this year. I tried, one evening, but just couldn't get into them. As for what I'm watching, I've really been enjoying "Navy Seals", along with "The Good Doctor", and "This is Us". I was sad to see "Victoria" end its season :(<br />Enjoy your week,<br />Kathy (Reflections)maddie/cadesmimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728528124103014286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-18128069376526720382018-02-28T09:38:09.036-05:002018-02-28T09:38:09.036-05:00Ha!

Ahh, yes, living on a lake will draw a summer crowd. We imposed ourselves on my sister's in-laws once or twice when they lived on a lake in Michigan. Fun times. Your answer to #1 rings a bell for sure. Thanks for the questions, Jo. Oh, we will resume watching things like The Good Doctor, NCIS, etc. Our daughter showed us a show she's been watching on Netflix about selling houses in England, Sarah Beeny's Selling Houses. I can binge on these kinds of shows.

I taped it at noon and the evening shows. Actually last night I was rather sad that the games were over.

I'm pretty sure the best way to handle spring cleaning around here would be with a bulldozer. I know you're excited about seeing that grandbaby. He is growing so fast! What a cutie he is. Our little man is heading to Colorado tomorrow with his parents to meet his other grandparents. Of course he came down with an ear infection last week but as of yesterday it was cleared up so they should be fine on the plane. His parents are nervous after seeing that clip last week of the woman who raise a fuss about not wanting to sit next to the crying baby on the plane. I told them that really is not the norm. I hope I'm right. :) Have a wonderful day!

It's been a long time since I've done it and I'll take your mentioning it as a sign to do it. :) However, I'm not a huge fan of sweet tea. I like drinking hot tea, though. It's been plenty warm here and I had to throw on some shorts a few times last week which is so unlike me in the winter. Now that the Olypmics are done, we resumed streaming various TV shows. Right now, we're catching up on "Zoo". Thanks for hosting the mid-week fun & have a good week!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.com
