Cheryl has two therapy sessions today. One is occupational one is physical. As we pulled into the south portico I realized that it was jammed up with four other vehicles and all are equipped with mobility equipment ramps. I stopped short and helped Cheryl up the curb to her walker that I placed on the walk.

My third thought after damn it is crowded,  why are all these people here now and in my way was I guess we do not have it that bad after all. As I helped Cheryl walk past one van the ramp came out of the side door and settled onto the walk next to us. I thought how convenient. A crippled woman was sitting in a battery powered mobility chair. She said, “Hi!” as we walked by. I thought that looks way more difficult to deal with. I wonder what his morning is like as I looked at the guy helping her.

Tomorrow is our 53rd wedding anniversary and the day after that the anniversary of when we met. It is also a blue August moon as it was in 1966. It makes me wonder how often blue moons occur in August. We met on a special day. This year the same celestial event happens. We have had and continue to have a special life. (Follow-up — only once between 1966 and this year. According to the internet of all knowledge.)

So far we do not need a battery powered chair for Cheryl to get around. I do have a transfer chair for when she is not moving well. I bought it as a convenience to me.
