Missing my exercising.....

You know, I am about to say something that I never thought would cross my lips....."I really have missed not going to the gym this week."  I guess working out is now in my blood.  For some reason the muscles in my lower back are weak and for the last few days my back has been bothering me.  It is some better today and hopefully by Monday I can head back to the gym and at least do a little exercising and maybe get into the pool.  That's my plan anyway!!!

I was planning on participating in a 5K in Columbus for breast cancer on May 15th (birthday present to self) but I've decided to wait and do one later.   Don't think my back will be healed enough to jog for 3.2 miles.  Disappointing but oh, well wasn't meant to be, I guess.

Can't believe May is right around the corner.  Where has this year gone to???  We've had a light frost the last couple mornings.  I hope to get my flowers for my pots in the next few days so I can start planting in a couple weeks.  I am so ready for a lot of color around the house.

Have a nice Friday!

Weeping Redbud & Magnolia bush

I wanted to share with you my beautiful Weeping Redbud and Magnolia bush.  Once my other plants start blooming I will post more pics.
 

This is a close up of the blooms on the Weeping Redbud

I hope to buy the flowers for my pots in the next couple weeks.  We are planning on doing Wave Petunia's and Geraniums and whatever else we come across that we like. 

Have a nice day.

Easter, eagles, fish and trails.....

Hello,

I hope everyone is having a nice week.  We are tired from our trip to dad's but other than that we are fine.  I will share with you our visit with dad in a moment but first I wanted to update you on our Easter weekend.  Bobby & Benita invited us to their house on Saturday for Easter dinner.  Terry was able to be there along with Benita's three son's and her three grandkids.  Benita fixed a wonderful dinner, everything was great.  Oh, almost forgot....Bobby did a great job on the ham.  So good!!!!  Here is a picture of Bobby's house and also Buckeye Lake.

On the way home I spotted this cloud formation that looks like an Eagle.  So cool...

On Monday we headed to Tennessee to visit with dad.  Tina, Brian and the boys also came down.  It was great to visit with Tina and her family.  It's been a little over three years since I've seen Tina.  On Tuesday, dad took us to the IMAX theatre and we also walked around Chattanooga then we went to the cemetary and visited with Johnny & Chris for a few minutes.  The boys couldn't wait to get back to the lake to do some fishing.  Here's a picture of a couple fish that Zack & Logan caught.

They both caught several fish during the time they were there.  These are the only one's I took a picture of because I had to go down to the dock and of course when you go down to the dock you have to come back up!!!!  I know everyone understands what I'm talking about...I think Logan would have lived at the dock if he could.  Every day he was fishing until after dark. 

Dad took Brian, Logan, Zack and myself on a hike through the Cumberland Trail.  We hiked for about 3 1/2 miles.  It was a beautiful day and the scenery was gorgeous.

Do you see Zack on the rock?

Logan took this picture of me.  He kept telling me to back up.  I am about 1 inch from the edge of the bolder and it's a long way down!!!

Isaiah loves having his picture taken.  Here's a couple cute one's of him.

 

Such a "ham"

Bob and I are going to a Home Show this weekend that is held here in Marion.  Of course it's a lot smaller scale than the one in Columbus but it's still nice.  I hope everyone has a nice weekend.  Take care.
