After

Ahhhh....the big event is over - our daughter's grad party. Whew! Lots of prep for a possible big crowd. But the event turned out to be not so big and the weather was a big if. A few pavilions and the little bit of rain we did get was not a factor, thankfully! Kind of a small group of kids, but about 50 people over all, big enough for fun and small enough for lots of leftovers - oh great! ha ha ha

I am enjoying my sprinting sessions and the jump board on the reformer during my Pilates sessions. Feeling really nice and fit. Plans are now for a river cruise from Paris to Normandy and back next spring. Sounds like fun eh? That's what life is for, folks - lots of fun!!!

Have a wonderful day, week, month, life!

Perfect Morning

I am having a perfect morning. First, I got to sleep in an extra 30 minutes (got up a little after 6:30), then enjoyed a lovely cup of 1/2 decaf coffee, ran my sprints, jogged and walked another 20+ minutes, enjoyed a lovely iced coffee, colored my hair, took a bath, then a hot tub soak, then a hot/cold shower, another hot coffee, read a couple storied, enjoyed a lot of the above out on the back deck on a beautiful partly sunny, calm, 72ish morning.

Finally!

Here it is, June 11! I am finally able to enjoy my coffee on the deck on a sunny, calm morning! It has been a long time coming. I believe by this time last year, I had been out most mornings for at least a couple of weeks! It's good to see the sun out! The last 6 mornings have been dark. YEA!

So, an open day with a couple of errands - nice. I have 2 days of HIIT behind me already this week, one more to go, tomorrow. I feel really good! The bunnies are out in the back yard and the cottonwood "snow" drifts lazily by. It's nice to enjoy the relative quiet - oh a few birds singing accompanying a little distant traffic noise, but mostly quiet.

How's your day going?

I do want to make a "baffle" for the screen tent door so I don't have to zip and unzip...I don't know what happened to the old one - it was a few years old, so it needed to be replaced anyway. :-) One of the errands, today.

We have been wading through hundreds of unorganized pictures, looking for the gems for my daughter's grad party picture board. Oh my. How the house and yard have changed over the years, not to mention us! Wow. I am glad I appreciated my life all along, and continue to appreciate all I have attracted. Life is really good! REALLY GOOD!!!

Third rainy day in a row...

Oh sure - we need the rain, but still! Lucky for me, the weather does not control the way I feel! I do that. But I would be lying to say it doesn't have an impact!

Things are really green out there. The yard looks great - my daughter has successfully graduated, the party is in a couple of weeks, my birthday season is about done, but we are still in the middle of my girl friend's birthday season, so it's all good.

I am feeling well and healthy and fit and slim. I enjoy my free time and my busy time. The coffee tastes especially good this morning. And the gray skies still seem a bit strange after so many sunny days in a row! I believe the sun will be back tomorrow, though. Nice. Anyway, it's not the gray skies that are the problem, if you ask me - it is the sub 60s temps (with added wind) in June, for crying out loud. Let's have some summer weather, shall we?

Have a great June day, no matter what the weather!
