What a beautiful day...

I don't know how the weathers been today where you live but it's been absolutely beautiful here in Ohio. We've had clear blue skies, and nice comfortable weather. My flowers are looking so pretty. I have taken pictures but I still need to re size them before I can post them. Hopefully, soon I will get that done.

Bob and I went on a long motorcycle ride a few days ago. We went up to Mohician State Park. From our house it takes about 1 1/2 hrs to get there. The park has a great covered bridge, walking trails along with a beautiful lookout. The 3 hour ride on the bike was a little rough on the back side but it still was a nice time.

Bob and I also went over to Wheeling, WV yesterday to check out Wheeling Island. It's a nice casino but I do like the one's in Tunica, MS better. We haven't been to a casino in several years so it was nice to play for a while. It's even nicer when you win......I WON $400.00.....The most I've ever won in the past is around $100.00 so I was really excited. It's great entertainment but you have to control yourself. I am too stingy with my money so I don't ever see myself getting addicted.

The weight loss group I started is doing well. We had our first meeting last Thursday. I had hoped for around 5 - 7 people and right now we have 6. I never realized how much work there is getting all the material together along with all the research you have to do. I have spent all afternoon today working on it. I try to make the time were together as interesting as possible. I'm excited about our first weight in tomorrow evening. I hope everyone does well.

It's time for me to start dinner. Take care and have a good week. Oh, I almost forgot. Joy had surgery today and everything went well. Were so thankful for that.

It's Friday...

Good morning,

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Bob and I have been pretty busy. We went to Tennessee and visited dad for a few days. He is doing very well. It's always so nice to just sit on the swing on the front porch and take in all of the beauty of the lake. There wasn't many boats on the water but that should change by the end of this month. Bob went fishing down at the spillway at the dam and we also went to Johnny & Chris's for dinner one evening which was great. On the way back to Ohio we decided to see how far we could go without stopping and we drove from dad's to right above Kings Island outside of Cincinnati, OH. It took us 5 hours to get to that point. The only reason we stopped then was because the truck was out of gas. From there it takes us about 2 more hours to get home. If everything works out I hope to go back down to dad's within the next couple months.

Bob and I spent a couple days cleaning out our garage. What a mess that was! The garage has became a collect all and with that we only had about a 5 foot wide path to walk through it. We took a truck load of things to Goodwill and also had a lot of items we threw away but now it looks like a nice, clean, organized garage. How long it will stay that way, I don't know!!!

I would like to wish all mothers a "Happy Mother's Day" this coming weekend. Terry will be coming up to spend Sunday with us. It's always great to spend time with him. I don't get to see him as much as I would like to.

That's about all that is going on up here in Ohio. Have a nice day.
