127 ~ The PF Billboard

By Kay Heitsch

Knowing I would be alone while Bill was on the road, I made an effort to stay in shape.

I got up early, before 6:00, and did my cleaning and Ball workout before heading out to help these ladies. Sometimes in the winter, I had to shovel to get out. I was walking in the neighborhood too, as often as I could.

Being in my 60s and mowing with the push self-propelled mower, and shoveling, with Little RED wasn't always easy. I had energy, but I wasn't strong.

Bill was home one weekend, and we were out. I noticed a billboard advertising Planet Fitness. I told Bill I wanted to check it out. I joined and became a Black Card member.

As a Black Card Member, I could bring a friend and use the tanning beds, massage chairs, and massage water bed. Believe me, after mowing and shoveling, that massage water bed felt great!.

Not everyone thought going to this PF location was a good idea. PF was in a mall where most of the stores were closed. I was informed that this area had some issues. So what do you think I did?

I befriended all the intimidating-looking bodybuilders in the club. It was great! These guys called me "Mom." I knew if I needed to ask for help, they were more than willing to help.

God was taking good care of me with many PF friends. I was a member of PF for over 7 years. I'll share a few stories later.

Remember how I led you on this long journey. Deuteronomy 8:2
