Scootin' Around
When Donna was here, we went to Disney several times. The International Food & Wine Festival was a big hit with us, but we found you cannot come close to seeing and tasting it all in a few visits. On one visit, we rented electric scooters, and what a difference that made! We both were able to save lots of time and energy, thereby enjoying the park and festival so much more.
At the time, Donna suggested that it wouldn't take many days of scooter rental to pay for one of my own. I thought about that. I had seen them advertised for as low as $600, Richard and I talked it over and decided it would be a good thing to do as long as I am diligent to go the the gym and work out regularly (I am joining a health club next week paid for by Well Care).
So, yesterday I was off to Epcot on my little red scooter which cost exactly $600. It's a tiny little thing, but it ran fine and plenty fast. Unlike the big handicap scooters, this one comes apart in about 30 seconds and fits in the trunk. The heaviest part is only 29 pounds. We bought it used but it looks brand new and has an upgraded seat.
I am thankful for the scooter and for the ability to buy such an unnecessary thing purely for recreation. Indeed, God has blessed us in so many ways. It's much cheaper to live down here, and even though my Workmens Comp payments are ending, I believe we'll be fine.
I have been declared "Permanent & Stationary" meaning I am no longer "Temporarily Totally Disabled," which means a lot legally, I guess, but not much to me. While I agree that I am "Permanent" (Jesus saw to that) I doubt that I am very "Stationary," at least I hope not.
I see I have not sent out my thank you notes. They are still here on the counter... I HATE that. Nice people put me up, fed me and loved me and I haven't sent as word of thanks. Bummer!
I better get off my little red scooter and get my planner in gear!
