Keep Ticking

Howdy,
My little body is still keeping up with me. This morning I played 90 minutes of racquetball - singles, doubles and cut throat. I'm happy that my bones appear to be strong and that my heart continues to pump normally. Life is wonderful and I'm so very happy I'm healthy.
I had a great time. The competition was great!
Today, after work, I plan on putting my body to the test with some yard work (mowing, edging lawns, and walking the dog).
Enjoy this day.

Back Aches, Paint and Boxes

Yep - all three are needed to move! I was busy this weekend moving my daughter into an apt (two bedroom, two bath). I've forgotten how small apartments can be. I'm very lucky to own a home.

Anyhow, with the task at hand, we did tons of loading, unloading, climbing stairs, lifting heavy pieces of furniture, painting, cleaning, hanging curtains, setting up bedding, cleaning dishes and loading cupboards -- with all our hard efforts, the apartment is looking quite cute - definitely a chic pad! They have all they need to be happy, safe, and rested.

My back, on the other hand, is a bit sore and tired. My old bones are feeling the pressure. My muscles did a lot of work this weekend and I'm thankful I go to the gym daily.

It was a very productive weekend. So glad it's done.
Sore,

Today it's Friday! I'm anxiously awaiting the weekend to start.
On my To Do List:

- Help Breanna move (hopefully my muscles will come to the rescue)
- Go to the movies
- Giggle with friends
- Spruce up the backyard with bark
- Start cleaning the garage
- Start preparing for May
- Send a card to a friend
- Enjoy time with my husband

Enjoy this day and the weekend.

30

So hard to believe that in 30 days my daughter will be graduating from COLLEGE! I can't even get a grasp on this!! It seems like just yesterday I was walking her up to her kindergarten class. I am so very proud of her and her accomplishments. She's off to bigger and brighter endeavours and I know she will be successful.
Time sure flies -- enjoy each day!!

Happy Earth Day

Hi there,
Hope you all are enjoying this Earth Day.
- Spare the air (ride a bike)
- Plant a tree
- Smell some flowers
- Pick up trash
- Recycle
Be good to the earth - it's the only one we've got!

Flights

I'm headed off to the gym for the second time today. This morning it was a leg workout and a spin class. This afternoon is the stair climber -- 110 flights in 20 minutes. Hopefully all this will pay off!

It's 90 degrees outside -- just my type of weather. Soon I will start taking advantage of our pool (like tomorrow). Wish you could all join me poolside!

Hope everyone is having a cheery, uplifting day.

Dirt, Friends and Wine

Hi all,
Had a great weekend with dirt, friends and wine.

Friday night I went on a date with my husband. We went to the movies to see "State of Play" and had a great dinner out.

Saturday we went to our local winery to enjoy some vino in the vineyards and then headed to our friends for a BBQ. We were amongst great friends and of course had great times. Pictures shown: Erin's yummy fruit pizza, Peanut mixing up a batch of Margaritas, the girls lounging poolside, Peanut/Meghan dancing up a storm.

Sunday was a day of getting dirty in the garden. We planted tons of flowers (lantana, lavender) and shrubs (Japense boxwood, cypresses). Our yard is finally taking shape and I love the transformation. I've been doing a lot of pruning, weeding and administering a lot of TLC.

Today it's due to reach 95 degrees so I just might enjoy a little dip in our pool along with some warm sun rays.

Hope you all had a great weekend!
