Goggle Girl!

Had a great Mother's Day. One of my best friends and my daughter were both husbandless so we hung out together and my friend's dad made chicken and dumplings. Her dad is really about my age, it was nice. The kids went swimming. They made it look so easy. So GeGe jumps in....and froze her butt off. Holy hell, it was cold. The above picture makes me laugh every time. She asked me to help her put her goggles on....what was I thinking. We spent some time watching Modern Family. My friend had never seen it. I love that show. Too funny.
Saturday was spent cheering at the PeeWee football game. My Gson made a TD (of course). His mother about lost her mind she was so excited for him. She makes me laugh. After that we had to keep her busy so we took her shopping. In the meantime my SIL got the kids dressed up, did the girls hair and had pictures taken and framed. So cute. He took one where they are all sitting on a bench and the oldest is holding the picture of the ultrasound. Almost made cry. Of course I got a framed picture too. He is such a good kid. Such a good example to my son of the right way to treat your wife. My daughter is a lucky lady.
I weighed in over the weekend and I am back down to 186. From a high a 192 a few weeks ago. I will gladly take it. I am back to my 5 am walks. Saturday we start later and no walking on the Sabbath. My new buddy is so good for me. Makes me work hard. Then I rode the bike to work. It is suppose to be gusty here, so the ride home should be interesting. Food has been really good. Ate some chicken and dumplings, just one. Not over doing it. That's the important part.
Sounds like lots of you had as great a weekend as me, good for us. We deserve it!
Keep the mood and the food real........be an example
P.S. Sorry if you get tired of all my Gkids pics. They are just so much cuter then me!

    LOVE the pic!

    I wonder sometimes if people get tired of me posting pics of my kiddo..then I decided I didn't care. If they don't like it then they don't have to look .:) Who doesn't love cute kid pics? Have a great week!

    I'm not half as cute as that, and I stick my face all over the place.
    I'm glad you are on a generally upward trend lately!

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...
