Second day of travel

We arrived at the Comfort Inn about 60 miles east of Denver Colorado around 4 PM.  Very boring drive through Iowa, Nebraska and now Colorado.  The terrain has been quite flat, the grass yellow and the trees mostly bare or with dead leaves on them.  There was some color in Nebraska and although it is not obvious as you drive, we are at an elevation of over 4000 feet.  Interesting my dear Watson.

I did some knitting.  I finished a hat I was working on, then started a scarf.  Didn't like it and ripped it out.  Started it again with different stitches.  Didn't like it and ripped it out.  Now I have started a scarf with different wool. Oh well, it makes the time go faster.

The pool here was not as beautiful as the one last night, but the water temperature was perfect and the spa was also good.  I discovered something amazing!  Last night I started walking in the pool as I do not swim.  Then I got more energy and did some jogging in the pool.  The amazing thing was:  I didn't cough!  I thought maybe it was just a good day for my asthma.  Today I jogged in the pool, back and forth at a little over 4 ft deep and didn't cough.  I actually got out of breath but NO coughing.  This is great because I have not been able to do any aerobics before and it is so good for you.  Also after sitting for hours in the car, it feels wonderful.

Enjoying a glass on wine now, and off to bed early to read my book, William May, which I am really enjoying.  Oh yes, Joe is with me, I just get talking about myself all the time.  He did a great job driving and is enjoying his wine and the ball game.
