Episode 30 – Cute Ears

February 27, 2018February 28, 2018 tinafriesen

“I just wiggled one ear. Can you do that?” Denny wiggles his ears and I laugh. “It looks really cute when you wiggle your ears.” “The children think it’s cute too when I wiggle my ears.” “Really? You wiggle your ears for the children?” Denny nods, his eyes wide open and bright as he continues… Continue reading Episode 30 – Cute Ears

Episode 29 – A Perfect Rainy Day

February 25, 2018February 28, 2018 tinafriesen

I selected two meats, a vegetable and a fried rice at the Bourbon Grill in the food court at the mall, to take home. “I like the supper you made,” Denny tells me as we sit down to Bourbon grilled chicken, stir fried beef and green beans in our own home. Where we grew up,… Continue reading Episode 29 – A Perfect Rainy Day

Episode 28 – Target

February 23, 2018February 28, 2018 tinafriesen

Denny is baking biscuits. But they’re not biscuits. They’re scones, he tells me. They look good. Our son is coming over for coffee. His wife is working. Now Denny is roasting coffee beans. I finally allowed him to do it inside during the winter instead of outside on the balcony. He’s very careful to vacuum… Continue reading Episode 28 – Target

Episode 27 – Understanding

February 21, 2018February 28, 2018 tinafriesen

“All I want is for you to do what makes you happy. That’s what will make me happy,” Denny said. Sometimes when I’m unhappy, Denny gets stressed and says things that he regrets later. But it’s all in an effort to get me to be happy. He’s just looking out for me. He wants the… Continue reading Episode 27 – Understanding

Episode 26 – No Cheating

February 19, 2018February 28, 2018 tinafriesen

“Have you ever been unfaithful to me?” I came right out and asked him. I wanted to know. After thirty years. It happens. A lot of women don’t even know. I needed to know. I just heard of a man who committed suicide when his wife found out he had a pregnant mistress in the… Continue reading Episode 26 – No Cheating

Episode 25 – We Live Till We Die

February 17, 2018February 28, 2018 tinafriesen

We are having lunch, well, dinner at the ABC Restaurant. I last ate at ten in the morning and now it is four in the afternoon, so dinner. Breakfast really. That’s what Denny is ordering. Lucky for Denny there is a place that serves breakfast all day. He loves his sausages and eggs. Denny orders… Continue reading Episode 25 – We Live Till We Die

Episode 24 – Vicks

February 15, 2018February 21, 2018 tinafriesen

“It used to be that when I’d wake up in the morning I couldn’t stand on my foot. I’d fall over. I’d be in such pain. Even that is almost negligible now that I’m going to the gym. I get up and I can stand on my foot. It didn’t used to be that way.”… Continue reading Episode 24 – Vicks

Episode 23 – Five Guys

February 13, 2018February 21, 2018 tinafriesen

Denny and I have never had a lot of money to spend on entertainment. When the kids were young we went walking a lot. We still do. This weekend Denny suggested Steveston or Stanley Park for something to do because walking is what we do. We only go to Stanley Park every couple of years,… Continue reading Episode 23 – Five Guys

Episode 22 – Leg Press

February 11, 2018February 21, 2018 tinafriesen

“Last year I couldn’t do this. I’d fall right over. I didn’t have the strength in my foot. Look at me.” I look at Denny and he is standing on one foot, bobbing up and down from heal to toe. He’s pretty pleased. “What I’ve been doing has worked. I have strength in my foot… Continue reading Episode 22 – Leg Press

Episode 21 – Prius

February 9, 2018February 21, 2018 tinafriesen

I was cleaning out a storage area at work and found a bunch of swim shorts and t-shirts and towels. One woman wanted the towels so she took them. There was a nice pair of Triple X size shorts and I wondered how difficult it would be to find a similar pair. I thought of… Continue reading Episode 21 – Prius
