Happy Heart

I had taken five nice pictures to share with you.  When I went to load them onto the computer, I realized that I had left my memory card in the computer while I was taking pictures, alas, there will be no picture for you to enjoy.  No, wait!  I just figured out that it went to my internal memory.  Not all is lost!!!  Oh happiness! 

Okay, now that my crisis is averted, I will share with you some random things of the weekend that have made my heart happy. 
1.  Friday morning, I decided to run to the coffee shop - 7.3 miles away.  It was a pleasant run, a bit dark to begin with, but it was nice to run there and feel ready to hang out with friends.  I wasn't too gross and smelly, or at least they didn't seem to be grossed out by me.
2.  Return visit to the coffee shop 40 minutes after leaving.  This time went with Aaron and Abby - much fun was had by all.
3.  a house that heats up without the heater being turned up.  Such delight to me!  I love warmth.
4.  a delicious supper shared with friends on Friday night.  Homemade vegetable soup, fresh asiago herb bread, and a salad.
5.  Friends gave me oatmeal cream pies.  Yum!  I may have had two once the kids went to bed.
6.  My first spring flowers!
7.  Mountain bike lesson for David.  He's outgrown his little bike, so I switched him over to my bike.  He had to learn how to get on and off a high bike, use hand brakes, shift gears.  He was getting the hang of it by the end of our "lesson."
8.  Just so you don't think I'm a total health nut from my previous food addiction post, here is what I ate for supper tonight - a whole wheat waffle topped with ice cream, peanut butter, and chocolate sauce.  Heavenly!
9.  And one more thing that made my weekend happy - YOU!  I LOVE reading your comments.  It makes my heart happy each time I get one.  Please keep doing it.  I'll keep asking you questions.  I like to hear more about each of you!  So here's your question for the day:  What's something delightful that you did or had happen to you this weekend?

    Well as someone that sat next to you on Firday I did not notice your smellyness if you had any. It was a wonderful weekend. Each day my husband goes anywhere with me is good. I did have to promise not to ask him to do anything for me on Sunday though. Then when I asked him in all his tallness to put the sheets away in the closet he reminded me of my earlier promise. He did it for me though, he is not always a jerk. I just feel like I am smiling all the time and to me that sounds kinda hokey. Pronounced Hoe-kee. Or Hinkey.Pronounced Heen-key. All in all smiling is good. For someone who rarely smiled it does take some getting used to. So thanks to all who know me and love me anyways.

    I spent a lovely weekend with Sunday school friends. We first went to a lovely place to eat in Washington Iowa and then to the Shepherd's Inn at CCC. A wonderful building ...beautifully decorated with a fire place and recliners. Spent the evening making bracelets and devotionals and fruit and cookies! And then connecting by talking till 1 a.m. After a lovely breakfast we did a bit of shopping in Washington and then home on Saturday. A wonderful time.

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
