Wonderful Book

I love this book I am reading, Looptail by Bruce Poon Tip, founder of G Adventures tour company. It is a business book, autobiography and so much more. He speaks of passion and purpose in life and it is both interesting and inspiring.


In other news I took my mom to the cardiologist yesterday for her 6 month checkup. It was a good one and so the next one is scheduled for another 6 months in October. That seems so far away, I hope she will remain stable until then. The doctor remarked that her heart is more stable than her memory loss, true enough.

The ECG technologist had to knock on the door to find my mom sitting on the table all dressed. She didn't seem to know it was time to leave the room after she was dressed. Then an older man went into the room. His wife told me he was 84 and had trouble hearing even with his hearing aid now. It meant he was having trouble communicating with the technologist.

Anyway, my mom and I went for a nice lunch afterward.  The day was so nice and sunny we just wore sweaters.

it sounds so wonderful Christine, and the book looks interesting, the cover is peculiar and attractive, passion and purpose I think the two go opposite direction

Glad your mom is good. I miss mine.
Hubby, thankfully, is holding his own but we have an MRI and biopsy to schedule this month. It's worrisome.
