OK-Happy Fourth!  Tanner is in Washington, D.C. marching in the National Parade. We are going to the lake where Tim and Heather live.  I tried some of the July 4th ideas from Pinterest. Red, white and blue strawberries, and cake mix cookies with red, white, and blue sprinkles.

Barry Manilow

Went to the concert last night.  He still sounds amazing!  Fun with 3 of my sister-in-laws there, and Old Town.  Don't remember half of it after about 11!   Oh well!

Came home and went for a run, and did something to my right calf muscle.  Icing it now.

Doing some research into coconut oil and milk....

Day 2 of workouts

This is day 2 of 2 hour a day workouts-so far so good.

Started my scarves yesterday.  I have several patterns to use.   Just going to have to remember to keep at it

Daily observations on my morning jog!

Baby birds

The usual quiet of  the morning deck is broken by the insistent chirping of the baby birds.  Mama builds her nest in the rafters of our deck every year!

Sunday thoughts

Trying something new! In more ways than one. Instead of using Facebook for a diary, thought I'd try this.  Seems simple and straight forward enough. I took pictures on my run this morning hoping to be able to post them, but my Blackberry does not seem to like my MacBook. Everything else I own is Mac, except my phone....

Also, at church I picked an envelope for Seeds of Faith.  Now I have to come up with something.  At first it sounded like a great idea, and it is, but now the apprehension is coming in waves. Maybe something to crochet???? iPad covers? Phone covers? Scarves with the school colors for football games??

Help??
