Busy weekend...

Hi,
I wanted to share some pictures from our weekend. Joy & Charlie came up for a visit. On Sunday, Bobby, Benita, Robert and Terry were here for a cookout. Also on Saturday, Bob and Charlie went to the shooting range. Here are a few pictures:

We had a great time visiting with everyone. Take care and have a good week.

Terry's graduation BBQ

Hi,
How is everyone? Were doing fine. This past weekend we had a BBQ in Terry's honor to celebrate him graduating from college. We had a great time playing ladder golf and corn-hole. I had played ladder golf before but this was my first time playing corn-hole. It's definitely a lot harder than it looks. We grilled out baby-back ribs and chicken. The food was great and so was the weather. We couldn't ask for a prettier day, not too hot or too cold. Just right!!! Below are a few pictures that were taken. Have a good day.

Good Tuesday morning to ya'

Hello everyone,

I hope you are having a good week so far. We got a lot of rain yesterday which we really did need. My flowers seem to be a little happier. Bob and I have been spending quite a lot of time out working in the landscaping. There is always another weed to pull or flower to tend to. Everything is blooming so pretty. I just love all the color.

We were able to visit with Bobby and Benita this past Saturday afternoon. They were having a cookout for Benita's son, Josh who was celebrating a birthday and they invited us to join them. The changes they have made in the yard are nice. The Wisteria is beautiful. I'm glad I was able to see it this year in bloom. For some reason in the past I kept missing the blooming time. Bobby and Benita thanks again for the invitation.

I'm heading to the gym this morning. Janet and I are so proud of ourselves for how well we have continued our workout regime. We walk the track for 3-4 miles Monday thru Thursday. Then on Tuesday and Thursday we also do the machines in the wellness room. There are days I have to make myself go but when I am done I always feel better.

Well, I better head out. Take care and have a nice day.

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.

Good Monday Morning

Hello,

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. It was absolutely beautiful here on Saturday. Bob and I emptied the hot tub, cleaned it and refilled it. I'm really looking forward to spending some time enjoying the relaxing effects the water has. If you don't have a hot tub you may want to think about getting one. When Bob and I bought this house the hot tub was already here. We probably would not have bought a hot tub on our own but since the first time we got into it we have loved it. So, so relaxing.....

Terry is now a college graduate. He took his last final about a week ago and he made a "A" in the class. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Financial Management from Franklin University. He made straight "A's and B's" all through school. He was on the Dean's list and the President's list several times. Bob and I are so proud.

I am heading to the gym this morning to do my daily walk and also work on some of the machines in the wellness room. We are up to 3 miles a day now. It is so amazing to me that I am walking around 12 miles a week. My foot still bothers me a lot but I just push through the pain and keep going. Thank goodness for Advil, it helps me a lot too.

Have a nice day.

It's Friday....

Hi guys,

Sorry, I've been out of touch but we've been pretty busy. The rain finally stopped so the roofers came last week and put on our new roof. We also had a company from Columbus come up and put in all new landscaping lights. What a huge difference that has made. The only thing left for us to do is to have another layer of mulch put down and we should be done. Once we complete everything I will post some pictures.

We were having problems getting on to the Internet yesterday so we had our cable company to check it out and he said the cable running from the pole to our house was installed back in the 80's so he changed it. So far everything is working fine.

I'm getting my hair cut today. Yeah!!!! It has gotten way too long. With summer coming it needs to be shorter. That's about all that is going on here in Marion. Take care and have a nice day.
