California Here I Come - YEHAAAA

I think this is appropriate transportation don't you??? I am getting out the map and lining up all the campgrounds for the trip. Heck, I even put my initials on my house. I am also reading up on the latest waste disposal procedures. Oh, and getting the wireless router set up for the trailer. Home Sweet Home on the road.

South Beach Diet

As my husband says: "We" are on the South Beach Diet, and have been for a couple of weeks. Well today I had some REALL caffinated coffee and tonight we both went and loaded up on mexican food. I feel like the energizer bunny. I may not sleep until tommorow.

Free Things to Do

One of my most favorite free things to do is to go to the Marriot Grand Hotel at Point Clear for a day trip. Park the car and walk along the bay. http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/ptlal-grand-hotel-marriott-resort-golf-club-and-spa/

Baby Land

Well that is what it looked like around here a few weeks ago. I lost my voice with all the yelling I did (well actually I lost my voice for some unknown non contagious reason).

LOVED having four out of five of our grandchildren here!! We missed our little blond girl!!

Babies have lots of gear.

OK Dear Readers - No more Complaining

Our cute grandchildren came over and helped take the ornaments off the tree. We purchased the tree in 1995 from Orchard Hardware in Petaluma. It is now being held together with a bungee cord and some well placed garland. Hopefully it will live another 10 years or more!!

Next decorating project is Mardi Gras

I will try again FRIDAY

I am not working yet I have a calendar full of stuff to do.

Today I had created the following assignment for myself:
Collect and finish all unfinished Art projects
Take books back to the library and get a good DIET cookbook
Drink more water
Join the Eastern shore Art center

What I actually did:
Cleaned the bathroom and kitchen (including under and around the yukky stove)
Cleaned out the top drawer of my bathroom cabinet. Rearrange medicine, makeup, etc.
Helped husband put the bike rack on the car.
Washed towels, ran the dishwasher, threw dinner together for 6 people
Cleaned up the kitchen again
Talked to my father, twice. Explained to him how to find ESPN on his TV.
Drank more water (yahoo)

Am I maybe AVOIDING Art or something????
Tommorow is Doctor day for the parents. That assignment takes all the wind out of my sail.
