Time Flies

Wow, it is now the middle of May, 2013.  Larry & I went to Upstate New York April 30th to attend my Aunt Gloria and Uncle Fred's 50th Wedding Anniversary. Everything was awesome up there.  The weather was amazing and seeing family was perfect.

On Thursday, May 2nd, we went to Sackets Harbor.  There is much history there.

February Snow Storm

I have started a Smash Book.  Haven't gotten too far though.  We had a couple of big snow storms come through in February.  Kids had several snow days.  Kansas City got the worst of the 2nd one that came through.  Below are some pics.

My Mom's Birthday

My Mom, whom we all call, Mimi, had a birthday this month.  Mom is such an awesome person, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.  We love her sooo much!!

Beautiful October

Beautiful October day here in Kansas.  Larry & I are watching our Blanco kiddos.  Roxy & Russ helped out for a couple of days also.  The kids have had a great time.  They went with Roxy & Russ to The Meens Farm Friday and Saturday.  They went to Gary's Berries and had a great time there.  Then we took them on a short walk in the neighborhood and took some pictures.  They were worn out.  This morning they slept in.  They do miss Mom & Dad but know they will be home real soon.

July Already

Wow, I can't believe that it is July already! Where has the time gone?  Larry and I have been busy with family activities.  We watch our grandchildren at lease once a week if not more.  We are working on getting our house ready to sell again.  Selling stuff on Craig's List and had a garage sale the beginning of June.  We will probably have another one when the weather cools off a bit.  It has been sooooo hot here.  100's and above the last couple of weeks.  Thank God for A/C.

Larry has been working on getting his weight off.  Using Herbalife products, he has lost 22 pounds and lots of inches. He has gone from a size 40 to a 36.  He looks and feels so much better.  His goal is to get to 195 and get off all prescription medications when he sees his Doctor in September.

I have also lost several more pounds and inches also.  I am within a few pounds of my goal of 140.  I feel so much better.  And, have so much more energy.   If you would like to look and feel better, give me a call.

Retired and ready for the next phase of my life to begin...

I am now retired from Hill's.  It hasn't really sunk in yet.  I had a dream last night that I forgot some of my stuff at work and had to go clean it out.  I am pretty sure I got everything though.  I have been bring stuff home for a month or so.  It is bitter sweet.  I will miss all my friends that I have made over the last 20+ years.

Larry and I are going to be working around the house together.  We have walls,  trim and doors to paint, get stuff ready for a garage sale and take a much deserved vacation.

We are going to spend more time with our grandkids and family and I am going to continue taking lots of pictures and scrapbooking and making cards.

My weight loss journey is still moving along.  Now that I am retired, I plan to walk first thing each morning.  My next visit with Dr Hu is this coming Friday, so I will see if I lost any more since my last visit.  I am wearing smaller sizes.  I have lots of bigger sizes I have been moving out of my closet and into the "For Sale" pile.
