GRANDKIDS MAKE ME HAPPY!

 

When a Grandson takes Over My Phone

 

HA HA HA HA HAHA HA

HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE?

 I keep gaining weight.

I have totally quit snacking between meals.

Have cut out sugar.

Try to eat smaller meals.

And, yet, I AM GAINING WEIGHT.

It's very discouraging.

Friday Adventures

First we drove out to Dinosaur Monument....the keys are to show the size of the dinosaur print.

It was so interesting....these prints were only discovered in 1982, so that's fairly recently.  

Then, at night we went to see the Drowsy Chaperone...Eli joined us; late but he came.

This was the third time I've seen the play; I've loved it, but the version last night was quite crude and left Allen and me shaking our heads.  NO wonder kids get mixed up about gender identity and bad stuff going on.  It was very disappointing.  

 

Maybe....

 ...it's all in my head.

I keep having bad stomach pains.

Is it just in my head?  I've had so many tests, so many doc visits; nothing changes.

Must be in my head.

Also, I can't lose weight.

I just must be very sick in the head.

Learning From Amazing women

 They are all around us.  Amazing women.  And, it's so fun to learn their stories.  

Yesterday, I ate lunch with Brenda Spillane. She is a widow who lives with her daughter and son-in-law; she has 12 children, 6 boys and 6 girls.  They are all impressive.  But, she had a very challenging life.  Two bankruptcies, multiple moves, not a lot of money, but through it all, she maintained her indomitable spirit and faith.  

She's a very strong faithful woman.  

And, I was so inspired.  How do women get to be so strong, in the face of adversity?!?!?!?!?

And, I complain over a friendship gone awry, which is still so painful for me.

But, I enjoyed talking with Brenda and learning a portion of her story.

Chef Allen Tries a New Recipe from You Tube....

Cabbage topped with hamburger which has been mixed with some tasty ingredients, topped by a tasty sauce and VOILA!  
 

Very good; will he do it again?  That remains to be seen.  I helped him, and it was quite a lot of work.  So, we'll see if it is worth all the work.
