Georgie died three days before Christmas in 2021. I drove to Colorado to the National Mill Dog Rescue in March 2021 and adopted Bella. She's a miniature poodle, weighs 8 lbs and has become a delight after five years in a puppy mill. Since I live in a 62+ elevator building, I walk her four times a day. She gives structure and purpose to my days. I do miss Georgie, though ...

I really enjoy pickle ball. I believe I have the ability to become a good player. I still struggle with the rules and scoring as I haven't played enough for my body to make the right moves without thinking first, so I'm slow to respond in some situations.
