 What do they say, the moment you throw something away because you don’t need it anymore, that’s when you’ll need it again?  When I took yoga 10 years ago I bought yoga socks, and  held onto them until about six months ago.  Just had to buy new yoga socks. Yeah, if you look at the lists in this blog from 2016, you’ll read all about my yoga adventures. I’m so happy to start a new yoga adventure. One of my  goals is to take a yoga class aboard ship when we cruise to a Bermuda in October.  My other fitness goal for the cruise is to be able to handle the steps in the Crystal Cave — 80 steps down and 80 steps back up. We went to the movies Friday, saw The Mandolorian and Grogu.  Just what you’d expect from a Star Wars  movie.  Lots of action, lots of special effects, lots of weird characters and gadgets.  We loved it. It’s not even Memorial Day yet, but we are already hearing firecrackers.  Sigh… Weather  has been cold and rainy. ...

Saturday 9

  Soldier Welcome to  Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme! Saturday 9: Soldier (2016) Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it  here . Memorial Day is a federal holiday that honors men and women who served and died in the United States Armed Forces. We want to make sure that message is not lost this weekend. 1) Are you a veteran? Are there veterans in your family? Do you know anyone who is active military? We are grateful and want to hear about it. My father served in the Army in WW II.  He was proud of his service.  When he died, at age 88, thevArmyvsent representat...

Yoga!

-
 So, about ten years ago, I signed up for a yoga class, part of the adult education program offered by my school district.  I took that class, loved it.  Took a class at the public library, loved it.  Took a class at the JCC, loved it. AND THEN … I stopped taking yoga.  Partially because of my bad knees, I suppose. And partially because of a change in my schedule when I went back to commuting into the city.  And partially because …well, I lost interest in physical fitness, I guess. But I’ve been working out lately, and realized doing yoga to a YouTube video just wasn’t cutting it.  So I signed up for a yoga class offered by the parks department, And it felt like coming home,

Sunday afternoon

  Ever hear of a  ridable miniature railway?   It’ s a large scale, usually ground-level railway  that hauls passengers using locomotives  that are often models of full-sized railway locomotives (powered by diesel  or gas  engines, live steam  or electric motors). A friend of ours belongs to the  Long Island Live Steamers . Here’s a video that explains what they do. We went out to Yaphank Sunday afternoon, rode some of the trains and had a picnic lunch.  Lots of fun. We stopped at a local deli to pick up lunch.  Nearby was the Yaphank Garage.  It’s a historical site, not open to the public, but … And next store was another historical site. We may have to go back and do some more exploring.
