smile and wave!

This is a group we saw as we were leaving the Aloha Festival Saturday. A huge group of kids (male and female) were dressed in wedding dresses. I have never seen anything like it. They said it was for a bar crawl. Never heard of that either. Man. I used to be so hip. Yes, I was a legend in my own mind. Notice how blue the sky was that day. It was a great time. My kids came into to town after church yesterday. We had sloppy joes and then went to the park. I had bought bubbles and the kids loved it. So did their mom and dad....lol. My SIL took this whole week off so their family is going to do mini vacations around the valley this week. It's Spring Break here in AZ. They will be visiting museums, parks, ect.....so it should be a fun week. I am invited when I don't have to work. I have to go in every day and check messages and pay bills, but I don't have to stay all day.

I had a bad food day yesterday. There was lemon cake involved and way too much salt. I got on the scales this morning and I was up like 4 lbs from yesterday. It's not a real weight. I jumped on the scale to scare me straight today....lol. I will jugging the H2O today. Today is a new day!
No real walking was done over the weekend either. Though I did ride my bike to church. All the people I go to church with were honking and telling me how cute I was riding that bike....in my dress no less.....lol! Yep, lots of waving going on during the ride home. I've never gotten so much attention. It was fun. I was told more then once how great it is that I am so active. I agree!!
I am taking a bunch of old ladies on a drug run to Mexico today. It's a good time. I don't have a passport so I walk the huge parking lot for an hour while they go to the pharmacy.
Hope everyone has a great Monday. Keep the mood and the real.......SMILE and WAVE!

    I like that...scare me straight! Very funny. Great that you can realize the 4 lbs isn't real weight. It's when I don't realize that, and then give up.

    it's great how quickly you were able to move on from the "4 lbs up" incident. we cant let ourselves get dragged down by tiny bumps. Positive mentality will keep up our positive actions :)

    How funny! That picture is hilarious.

    I actually know a lot about bar crawls (aka pub crawls)...from my younger years. They call them that because after you've had drinks in several different bars, you can't walk anymore, only crawl. Ah, the good old days.

    I love lemon cake. I want some right now.:)

    HA, I love the conclusion. You say it so casually, like it's an everyday thing to take old ladies on a Mexican drug run.

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
