Around 6:45 AM, I went for my 90-minute Feather Sound walk. Home around 8:15 AM. I went for a walk with Kay and Gizmo. Around 10:00 AM, Kay, Gizmo and I drove to the Largo Library. Dropped off 2 books and picked up 2 books. One of the new books is The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah. It’s been on the best seller list for a long time. Kay was really active today. She tires quickly but seems to have more energy each day. She asked me to buy her a bottle of white Zinfandel. I don’t think she feels beer tastes as good as it used to.
