Diet

I have a lot to learn about eating.  You would think that someone who eats 3 squares a day plus snacks would have a better handle on things.  I do not. I need help. Fortunately, I have friends who love me enough to challenge me in this area.  My desire in eating well is to be healthy and to set a good example for my family.  God has a good plan in this-one I need to learn.  Hopefully, you have already learned lessons of good, healthy eating to bring glory to God as well as health to your life and to your family. 

Memorial Day

Just taking a moment to remember those who have fought and served and continue to do so that I can lead the live that I live.  Thank you servicemen for your hard work and your dedication to our country.  Blessings. 
Now on to the pool and bbq's and a huge welcome to summer. 

indoor picnic

I knew yesterday was going to be kind of a long day for the girls. A lot of car time, time at the bank, a short time of playing with some friends, so I decided to let them eat in the living room while watching Caillou.  They had a blast.  I just spread out a big blanket and let them have their lunch and juice on the floor.  I really wanted to eat out on the deck but it was sprinkling so we opted for the house.  It was great.  Maybe we'll get to move our picnic outside soon, but I'll have to remember this for another rainy day.  Have a great Friday.

People watching in cars

The other day while driving I took a moment to notice what others were doing in the cars around me ... of course several were on cell phones talking and texting, but one lady was so capable that she could eat an apple as well.  Another lady managed to have the eyelash curler up to her left eye while making a right hand turn and another lady was putting on powder. I also saw several smokers and dancers and one nose picker.  Not a bad day for people watching.
Blessings.

Soul Surfer

Last night was date night.  Andy and I went to see Soul Surfer.  It was a great movie about Bethany Hamilton, the young girl who survived a shark attack. I love stories about faith, overcoming obstacles, family and realizing there is more to life than self.  A line from the movie as Bethany was on a mission trip to Thailand "you don't have to be afraid of compassion."  It is true. Opening your heart can be hard, but the joy that is found in doing so is amazing. Blessings.

Walk in the park

I think Mollie was highly disappointed last night when Andy said that we were going to the park.  She wanted to go in the wagon to the playground (park), instead we went to the park (fields, woods, walking trails) to walk and she was in the stroller with Betsy.  She didn't cry, but she had a hard time figuring it all out.  We'll have go to the playground soon, maybe I'll even pull her in the wagon.  Blessings.

$0.49

Right now McDonald's is selling their cones for $0.49, so after church Andy took the girls and me out for a treat.  Not a bad bargain.  It is going to be hard to resist for the rest of the summer if the days continue to be this hot.  It's also going to be hard to convince Mollie that the restaurant's name is just McDonald's and not Old McDonald's and that we need to go get a special treat.  Blessings.
