In the midst

I am in the midst of a GeGe weekend. The kids came over Friday night while Mom and Dad went out to eat. The girls stayed over Friday and the boys slept over last night. We are going to go to the bird Park before church. I took the girls to see Tangled. It was so cute. She is my new fave Disney character. She had spunk! Then instead of going to the movie with the boys they wanted to buy fish. So I did. We had a ball bringing them home and setting things up. Then we went to the park till dark. Then we went and checked up on the Little Lady. They love her little black dog, Raven. I have really enjoyed my weekend. I have really missed the sleep overs. I haven't had one in a long time.

Next Saturday my SIL is getting baptised into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He made the decision after his new son was given a name blessing. The 7 year old is due to get baptised in June and he wanted to be able to do that baptism. SIL is a great man. I tell him that I won't ever get marrried cause he has shown me what a good husband is like. There aren't alot of good guys out there. I won't settle this next time around...if there ever is a next time...lol.

I got in a 4 miler yesterday morning. It was like old times. Both buddies walked. Food not so good. But I haven't abused food. No food coma like last weekend. I ate myself into oblivion last weekend. I will ok with that. I only had small amounts of crap food. Been trying to catch up with all my fave blogs. I forget what a wealth of info and support I get from this.

Enjoy your Sunday! Keep the mood and the food real.......

    Hi Dana - Your post reminds me of how much I want grandchildren! Since none of my 3 are currently dating anyone - I guess it'll be awhile.

    Your long walks are great. That is by far my favorite form of exercise but we have so much snow and ice on the ground that it's a little risky to get out and try to work up to a brisk pace. Soon - and then I'll be complaining about the heat!

    Have a good one.

    It's great to have a good 'man-model' to evaluate our own standards by...too cool.

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...
