Have You Lost Weight?

I question I get a lot these days is "have you lost weight"? Well yes as a matter of fact I have, I've lost 50 pounds, I'm with in 11 pounds of my goal yippie! It has taken me a while, a couple of years, but now people really noticing and they are starting to ask me how I did it. [The sugar free Jell-o I took to the b.b.q. was a hit!] We had a great time talking about healthier ways of eating and living at the bbq and it was good to know others were on the same page.

Yesterday after my walk I reclaimed the dining room, dumped the trash again, the laundry is not current and we went boating, we had a fun safe time dodging an occasional log floating down stream from the spring run off. On the way home I did some shopping to get food for a b.b.q. at dear son’s and got some more yarn I finished a scarf over the weekend and can start putting. some things in the dresser where I keep the finished projects for holiday gifting. Today I'm going to try to concoct a sugar free recipe for ambrosia fruit salad I like to get at the deli but I think I can do one that's with out added sugar.

Sat. I went to a yard sale and found three chairs for the grand kiddos to use we like to do lunch outside on the deck porch patio and under the big shade tree in the front yard. With only thirty four days of school left it’s time to think about Granny camp. I got some crayons at the thrift shop with cartoon characters at the top of these and the grands like to draw so this will be one of the favorite activites, using up a ream a paper I have here for them to draw on and it has lines so they can practice abc’s and 123’s, between side walk chalk and sessions at the pool, nature hikes in the field. We will be camping soon too.

We love that I have been hankering for some tent camping and sleeping in the back of the truck in the canopy, and the pull trailer camper will give us some fun variety this year combined with fishing four wheeling it looks like we are going to be having a lot of fun!
