A beautiful daughter

This is my other beautiful daughter, Danica :) I was playing with Noel's new spy lens and got some pictures of Danica laying on the floor chilling out at Noel's. Man if I lived her life I would need a lot of chill out days. Danica's son, Aaron, (my grandson) decided to leave McDonalds and get into some poor guys truck while his dad was looking for him. Imagine the poor guys surprise when a child got into his truck and said nothing...Aaron is a non-verbal autistic boy of 8.....and the poor guy had no idea where this child had come from :) He is getting a dog which should help keep him in places like this to stay where he belongs.

Kids, hats and puppies

Madison came over today...well actually we spent the day together...first she joined my at my Zumba class and then a little bit of shopping and then home to play with puppies...oh and lunch and dinner were in there too :) She fell in love with this hat that I had made so she went home with it :) The pic of the day was her holding her favorite puppy and getting her picture taken with her new hat

Here she is modeling an almost finished hat

And another hat :)

and my favorites...Madison playing with the puppies

Can't you just hear the laugh coming out of this mouth :)

IT band

I had this wonderful massage yesterday...but before you start thinking...aaawwww...it wasn't a relaxing massage at all.....I went in because my ham-string was aching...and she worked on my it band (Iliotibial Band)....that is a band of fibrous something or other that runs from you hip to you knee.........well mine is very sore about mid way now as there were adhesions that she so lovingly broke up for me.....needless to say i am black and blue in spots on my body :) But thank you Lord for the ability to walk :)

can you say procrastination?

I had over three full pages of my checkbook register that I hadn't done the math on....so finally I got my calculator out, got on the web site and reconciled my checkbook........finally........so now I know how much money I don't have :)

I had l

Todays pic of day

I have two puppy playpens stuck together with a piece of white shelving bridging the gap. Walked past and this puppy had decided to take her nap on the board and she looked just like those stuffed toys you see that make you think there is a real animal sleeping....so out came the camera to get a pic of this cutie sleeping

This is what 57 looks like

Lunch with Paige

Today was the last day with our Zumba teacher extraordinaire, Paige. She wore her camo outfit for me...it has its own story but I won't go into that. I got this picture of Paige as a student, working as a part of the class instead of the teacher. She was giving the two new Zumba teachers a chance to practice in front of the class while she was besides us :)

Here is a front picture of the camo outfit

For our present we made a scrapbook of the class and my daughter, Noel, put it together for me...I helped a little...very little. And of course, Paige cried when she saw it.

Paige is always smiling...to get this picture was really funny...........so unlike Paige..at least the part that I have seen of Paige....... (I haven't seen her with her kids :)

Ok...so thot I would include this picture of the two of us. I can't begin to say what this lady has done for me. Her inspiration and energy make me WANT to exercise!!!! Which in and of itself is quite a big deal. I love this lady... besides we have a deal that has something to do with bikinis and Hawaii :)

First outing....

I took the puppies outside for their first outing. They had lots of fun being outside and exploring the new surroundings. This first picture is my picture of the day...just thot it was cute :)


Watching the doggie door to see the big ones coming in and out :)


Meeting the other dogs..the pups are 5 weeks old and the black one is 4 months...not a whole lot of size difference :)


So much fun outside...


A quick snack from mom while outside
