Archie and I went to breakfast with our senior group this morning....our usual Friday breakfast...1/2 waffle, strawberries, and bacon.  Try to have a light lunch before going out with our Friday night group although I usually eat light on Friday nights.  We have to go to a wedding reception later but it just an appetizer thing....can't spell that other word and can't even give spell check a hint LOL.  I went to the gym for an hour and did cardio plus abs.  It has gotten too warm outside here, too, Jane.  We're watering everything.  I picked green beans yesterday for dinner last night.  My son was leaving for a mission trip in the Black Hills and the beans would just go to waste.  I told them I would keep them picked while they're gone and my DIL can freeze them when they come home.  I called Lois last night but missed her as they were enjoying sitting outside.  Her computer has been down and her first try was not successful but she's going to try again today.  Now we have to have a report from AJ and we'll be complete again. :-)  Joy 

Picked cucumbers before going to aerobics this morning, came home and made refrigerator pickles.  Played a game of cards with Archie before making lunch.  Picked green beans and glads after lunch.  Thought the flowers look better in the house than falling over in the garden :-)  Played some more cards...too hot outside.  Our air has had a real workout this past month....so glad the boys put air in the house for us.  Been doing a little quilt cutting but decided to get into the computer.  Nice to read all the messages.  Ginnyjane hasn't posted for a few days but sure we will hear from hear.  Do hope AJ made out OK, too.  Talk to you tomorrow...Joy 

Delores..so glad for you that you got back to the gym.  The other day I overheard a guy tell someone that it wasn't important how much you did but important to do what you can do.  A gal was using dumbbells that he thought were too heavy for her and explained that using lighter dumbbells properly was the thing to do.  I told him I was glad as I only use 5 lb ones.  Don't know if he was a "trainer" or not but seemed to make sense.  Well, I joined my gym today for the 3 1/2 months before I leave for Texas.  When I come back in the spring I will get a better rate which is fine with me.  My health insurance pays $20 a month as long as I go 8 times per month.  I'll have four months credit to go towards next years dues when I come back in the spring. I really do like it there...today was my 13th day...everyday but Sunday.  I came home and cleaned house and washed clothes and played cards again.  Keep up the exercise but take it slow and easy.  I do about 12 reps on the equipment.  I am getting a perm in the morning so plan to go to the gym in the afternoon for treadmill and bike.  My cousin should be coming from Anchorage before too long.  I think he's driving his mini-home.  What is gas up there?  We paid 2.299 on Tuesday.  We'll have to keep the board going!  Joy  

I put my Emote:anxious as I'm anxious to see if all this exercise will kick off some weight.  I have lost a couple pounds.  I went for aerobics but that was it today as I wanted to do some visitation this afternoon.  I brought a McDonald's to my friend and I enjoyed a nice salad.  I wasn't going to get new glasses but now have decided to get a pair and see if it sharpens my vision.  The plus thing is that the guy told me I could use my old frames as they are in good shape.  Saves $100 plus!  I also have clip/on for the sun protection that were expensive and now I can still use those.  I'm taking it a little easier at the gym, too, Dolores.  Decided to just do aerobics exclusive two days a week and then do treadmill/biking three days and strength training one day as we get a lot of that in aerobics.  Gas is really high for you, Ginnyjane.  How many miles do you get? I get about 22 on everyday driving....more on long trips.  Enjoy your soup everyone!  Joy
