Beautiful, sunny day here too. A little chilly this morning but hope we get warmer temps by afternoon. I have a baby shower to attend from 1:30-3:30 and then Russ and I are going to church at 6pm. If I remember, I'm going to put a crockpot breakfast together to eat in the morning. Tomorrow Russ and Jeff arranged for us to go to Jeff's house at 4pm and then we are going to the Ethiopian restaurant that I've wanted to try. We never went there for my birthday because I changed my mind to Thai.
Have a wonderful day!

Run is next week.
I've got one more week. Which is good. I got the washer and dryer so late today that I didn't get my laundry done in time. All my running clothes were in the wash. I need more!!!
Had a lovely day today. At church we had our annual ladies spring banquet. We did a picnic type of banquet this year with picnic foods. (sandwiches, chips, fruit, veggies and cookies) It was really good! The decorations were lovely. The theme was "He Loves Me" (referring to God's love for us) so all the decorations were daisy and white and red with red checkered. It looked great!
I got myself four pairs of new shoes today! My boss asked me not to wear heels to work. (He doesn't want them doing anything to his natural hard wood floors.) The only thing was that I only had ONE pair of flats! (That and I need to hem my dress pants so they aren't so long!) Now I have my blacks ones I already had, plus purple, pink, read and teal. Now I need more! (and some flat sandals for the summer - ones that do NOT have the part that goes between your toes, I don't like those ones!)0 -

Hey all - hope you had good weekends and remembered for Momma day's.
Still training
went down to see my mom Saturday - took her to lunch - went looking for plants - did some picking up at her house - went home and found it in the same condition I left it - not clean. Not yay.
four days till 8th grade 'graduation' - excited to see the slide show they put together with each of the kids pictures. Last full week of school - last full of Zach being an ILS kid. Wowz.
Jenny - yikes on the odd family- glad you have someone to go with
back to work - later luvs0 -
Rainy and cool today.
I can tell when my two-year old student on Monday at 8:15 is out of sorts that the other visits may be the same. Out of 4 appointments this morning my first was a stinker, the second was so sweet, the 3rd was not home, and the 4th was also a stinker. Whew! Worked on some paperwork this afternoon but don't know how to complete some of it so couldn't finalize. Still learning...
Russ and I are taking a Nordic Walking class tonight to learn how to use our poles the right way and have correct form and posture. It will be wet and cool
Marla- High school goes as quick as a blink! Congratulations to Zach for graduating 8th grade. Rory gets done with his exams on Friday and is coming home for the weekend. He has a busy summer with 40 hours a week work and two classes he is taking. We may see him in July for an evening and maybe again later before Fall semester starts. I think we will need to make a trip to ND to visit.
This weather makes me tired. I could use a nap!
Have a nice evening!

My goodness, you ladies have been busy! It's going to take me a month to catch up!!0

I just lost my post after being done and ready to sign off.
Will write later.

HI L!!!! Miss you busy lady0

Trying again this morning. Nice to see you back L we were wondering where you were.
Hope your day is going well. We had a big rain storm last night and the humidity is gone and very cool today.
I like it! Dave is going across the border with our friend Paul to get more boat stuff, what else.
Boat is in the water and ready to go. I will do my thing and maybe go shopping and pick up a few things.
Mother's Day was a success, Kathy had her first mother's day with Isaac and we took my MIL to their house and celebrated.
It rained most of the way there and then when we were there but cleared up enough to show her around the
house and the back yard. We got to hold our grandson and he is 12 lb 15 oz now. Out of newborn everything!
He is growing like a weed. I got to change his diaper for the first time, that has been a long time. Fraser's mom was
there too so all grandma's and great grandma was there. A special day.
I got on the scale this morning and not happy. I have to make some changes fast these pounds are creeping up.
I have to change my eating habits. I am still exercising everyday so food habits have to change.
Well enjoy your day!

what a special picture Shirley!0

Bah. Didn't get my run in tonight.
I wore one pair of my new shoes to work today. My shoes rubbed on the backs of my heels. Putting socks on rubs against them and they ache, I didn't want to try putting sneakers on and running. That means I only have ONE more chance to run before my race on Saturday. oh well. Coming off a winter of not running, I don't expect to do well. I'm not to worried about my time on Saturday, I just want to cross the finish line and get my medal! I hope my shoes tomorrow (I plan on wearing another new pair) don't do that. Yesterday's didn't, but the ones today did. I might have to put band aids on my heels tomorrow.
Been talking to my new friend some more. He's coming down to see me this long weekend. We are trying to plan something for Monday. The associate pastor from his church was down to our church to preach on Sunday. (Our pastor has mono so we've been having other pastor's come and fill in on Sundays). I had a special delivery of a letter. He really opened up to me in the letter and told me about himself and his personality.
Shirley - Nice picture!
L - Welcome back!
Jenny - Sorry to hear about the bad day. Hopefully the rest of the week goes better with your visits!
Marla - Kids grow up to fast! I'm looking at some of the teens in my church who I used to teach in Junior church when they were in lower elementary grades. Sigh. Makes me feel old!! I've told my nephews many times to stop growing so fast. It seems like I held my oldest nephew for the first time just the other day and now he's 8 1/2!!! Hope the "graduation" goes well.

good luck on your race Ang - and enjoy some face time with your new friend. Woot!
I hope to enjoy my cake ;>)0 -
This has been my busy week of the month. Nordic walking class on Monday, knitting group on Tuesday, the Guthrie Theater play on Wednesday and I have a funeral to attend this evening. Whew! Between my busy days full of student appointments and going straight to something in the evening, I'm beat! All my stuff seems to fall on the same week. I'm hoping next year to have the theater the 3rd week of month and not the second. Last night we saw the play The Crucible. It was about the Salem witch hunts in the 1600's. Dark and long but well done.
Welcome back L! We thought we lost you and we would miss you What have you been doing in your busy life?
Marla- School must get out this week? Off to summer schedule and events.
Ang- Can't wait to hear about your time spent with your new friend. Hope your run goes well. Good luck.
Shirley- Hugs to Isaac! I love your picture with all the generations.
I need to get ready for my day so I hope you all enjoy yours.

Morning,
I love that picture of the grandmas but what was I thinking of wearing stripes. I look so wide. Anyway, not wearing that
blouse again in fact i am getting rid of all stripes tops.
It is cool today and yesterday it was in the 40's. We had an early day yesterday, Dave had a test at the hospital at 7:30am.
Then I cleaned the downstairs and not a lot of energy today. I am planning a long walk down by the river so I have to
drive to get there. Dave has already left for the boat to do more varnishing on the wood.
I had an accident this week. A steam burn on my arm, I was putting a knife away and reached over the kettle
and BAM! Now I have a big bandage on my arm and it opened this morning after I rubbed it in bed. I didn't know
it had a blister on it. What a mess.
We are going to a paddle wheel cruise tonight at 5:00 it was opened to the board members of the sailing club. I don't
know what is in store and what we are doing for dinner yet.
I got on the scale this morning and it was down. I am substituting one meal a day with a smoothie. Dinner's are my South Beach Plan. I hope to see a loss this week. I am doing a weight loss challenge on MFP and not doing very well.
I am loving my Fit Bit and seeing results in my movement. I am pretty much getting 10,000 steps everyday. This
mostly movement.
Jenny - Sounds like a busy week enjoy it!
Ang- A nice letter from your friend, sounds like he wants to give some insight on his life. Maybe serious one day.
I hope all goes well in the romance area. Good luck with the run, too bad about the shoes I hope it doesn't interfere
with your run.
Hello to Marla and L.

tonights the night! AND the training wheels are leaving tomorrow - thank goodness - will try to put together a more complete post then - wish me luck on not bawling0
-
Shirely - Outch!! Hope it heels quickly
I did it!!! I set a goal of doing my race in 35 minutes, but haven't been coming close. Tonight I did it!! Hill and lights included that slowed me down! So excited!! It was such a perfect night for my last run before race day as well. Saturday is going to be sunny and a high of 19 (66F). It's going to be a great day for a race. The best part of any race is NO street lights to wait for! I might even be able to get it under 35 minutes. I will just have to wait and see what happens.0 -
good job on reaching your time goal - good luck!
Graduation was awesome. So proud. Sniff. People suck though - one 7th grade parent stood in the way of the photo presentation for nearly half of it talking to someone and then during Mrs. Graf's annual class poem (the 8th grade teacher always does a poem/roast with something for each of the kids - "Vengence" ! :>)) and there were five kids screaming and talking loudly and running around during the whole thing. I mean - come on - this was important to some of us - I read this facebook post this week about teaching your kids to not be *kitten* - well that's not going to happen when most adults are *kitten* too. Feh.
Of course I was more than a bit more highly strung than normal and normally I run pretty high. So - irritated by thoughtless people - but so proud of my boy and so sniffy at his ILS career over - he also got a President's Academic Excellence award so yay on that!
Caleb got selected to read his DARE essay today at their DARE 'graduation" so I need to try to get over to school for that -
have a great day my peeps!0 -
Hi Everyone!
I feel like I lose track of the days and don't always get to check in. Rory came home yesterday after his last final exam. He feels the exams went really well. His 40 hour per week job starts Monday morning so he's only here until tomorrow. Rory has been eating paleo and exercising every day so he has shed the freshman weight from his first year of college. He looks great. I could learn discipline from him.
Today is sunny to start but storms are moving in. I'm glad you're going to have a nice day for your run Ang. Good luck and I know you can meet your goal.
Marla- Sniff, sniff
Your boys are growing up! I know what you mean about thoughtless people. That kind of thing seems to happen more often these days. Some people don't seem to be able to think beyond their own self and consider what is impacting others and how they feel.
Shirley- I loved your picture but I know what you mean about stripes. I don't wear them now and they have been the big style for the past two years. Your walk sounds lovely. Wish I could walk with you.
I need to pay some bills and get them sent so off I go.
Have a wonderful day!
Jenny0 -
I didn't meet my goal....I passed my goal!!!! When I got to the finish line and could see the clock my jaw nearly hit the ground and I had a burst of energy, I did it in 29:43!!!! A new personal best!!!! I can't believe it!!!!!! Pictures soon. I need to get them off my phone.0
-
Ang - Congratulations on the run!!!!!
We did gardening yesterday and I added a 25 min walk to my day. I was beat last night.
Marla - I caught all the pics on Face Book. A great looking bunch of kids. Happy graduation, one of many.
Your little ones are growing up.
Jenny - Now some son time for you now that Rory is home. I have heard alot about the Paleo diet but never tried it.
Kathy posted a picture of Isaac with a mustache soother. So funny and so cute!
Going to the boat today and still have to make some lunch to take with us. Better get going.
Shirley0 -
Hm. Realized I typed that wrong for my time. It was actually 29:53.
He's here. (well not literally right now) We went to church together and then out to eat. It was nice to talk. He's picking me up at 9 tomorrow to spend some time together.0 -
HAPPY VICTORIA DAY I guess Ang and myself are the only here that celebrate.
Ang I guess you have the day off and enjoy your time with your friend today.
Yesterday we spent the day at the boat. It was cooler than we thought, we could actually wear a jacket
sitting in the cockpit and we had our lunch below because of the wind. I bought a new chime for our
patio which is a butterfly. The town was packed with tourists yesterday.
Today is laundry day and I just got back from Yoga class. I did yoga on a meditation bench which I
really liked. It kept me centered and no aches or pains not like sitting cross legged for 10 mins.
I am going to see if Dave will build one for me.
Better go and have a great day!
Shirley

went to a couple of graduation open houses -
as of tomorrow - I will have a high schooler and a middle schooler. What the what!!!!0 -
Busy day at work and then book club met for happy hour at a local restaurant to discuss our book The Goldfinch. I was amazed that several people really liked it. Very dark and long book but very well written.
Ang-WTG!!!!!! How was your time with your friend?
Shirley- Still can't believe it is sailing season for you. Time flies! What's a meditation bench?
Marla- Summer has begun for you! Cold here today so feels like it could snow.
Tired so off to bed I go...
Jenny0 -
I just lost my post, will try again later.0
-
it is finished - just picked up my former 8th grader and former 5th grader - with grades to prove they on moving on. Here we come high school and middle school. OIY!0
-
sad stuff afoot - just know how much I treasure all of you and think of you as friends! Huggles.0

Busy week at work and had a wedding shower to attend last night. I'm on vacation now through next week, woo hoo! Starting the day with lab draws for my dermatologist. Then off to do errands and come home and relax. Beautiful day out. Maybe the deck is calling my name?
Marla-everything okay?
Have to run but will write more later on this evening or tomorrow.
Hope you all have a great day!
Jenny0 -
everything is fine - just all the tragedy and sad news is leaving me sad - the boys are good and onery, ball has started (yuck) and next week the craziness of 8 different activities a day starts - eck. Of course Zach has outgrown his golf clubs and golf starts next week - so I suppose we better take him shopping for a set. I feel pain already - if he intends to play for the school I probably can't completely cheap out.
Jenny - enjoy the vacay!!! Here's to a better weekend.0
