Julia connections

So, today we had Speech Therapy this morning, and walked to and from, even though it was relatively cold and then back for an appointment with Dr. Im, but not before stopping for some lunch.  Had some pizza on 3rd Ave.   Dr. Im thinks that David is doing splendidly, and he checked him out, then we went off to Physical Therapy.  Did a lot of walking, first on the treadmill and then around the gym.  David’s foot is not dragging as much as it has been, and his speed is getting better.  We worked on coordinating the movement of the cane and foot to speed the process up, but that will take some work.

Then home and some dinner and Foyle’s War.  Then the blog and Julia before bed.  There are many connections with Julia that I am finding.  For instance she talks about her Dad, and has a great deal of fondness for him, but he is a rabid republican, and their views on Politics are polar opposites.  I can only think of my Mother, who was the same, and it made it difficult to not be able to talk about politics – it would just get too messy.  Thank goodness my Dad is a reformed republican, or as I say, he as seen the light and has left the dark side!  Then, tonight she is talking about sending recipes to people she knows in the US to try the recipes, one of the people is Dorothy Canfield Fisher who lived and died in Arlington, VT where our little house is.  I am loving this book.  Now I need to find a replacement for the 100 Objects.
