September 25,2011

Excellent weekend for me and my knee.
Saturday in San Juan Bautista was great. Temperatures are always so much cooler there than in the valley. Fall is my favorite season and this weekend had a definite autumn flavor.
My husband and I were supposed to have lunch with our oldest daughter who lives in Santa Cruz, attending the local community college and waitressing on the harbor. But she unfortunately canceled and we had the whole day for us.
San Juan Bautista is the perfect place for anyone who wants to walk without challenge. The small town is a delight with its boutiques and the Mission offers peace and natural beauty. I walked much more than I can do at home where hills surround my home.
On Sunday, we took our two younger children to the movie and saw Contagion.
Pretty good movie with a cast of huge stars who unfortunately disappear or have smaller roles than their names. But a great topic for a movie.
Movie theaters were tough for me for a while because of the stairs. It was nice to climb easily to the very top of the theater, our favorite spot when we go to the movie.
Temperatures have dropped so much that we have turned the fans off. Perfect weather for a long hike. I can't wait!
Tomorrow I have physical therapy and the flexion and extension of my knee will be measured for my Wednesday appointment with the surgeon.
I am confident that I will get a good progress card.
