Diet

I always was a chubby kid (my sis, favorite saying, "Fatty Fatty Two by Four Couldn't Fit Through with The Bathroom Door),I have struggled my whole life with weight but I am ready to conquer this new part of my life, Last year I quit smoking and have put on 50 pounds since July 2007, so now I am 100 pounds overweight instead of 50 pounds...I have started a diet every Monday since I can't say how many times put it this way my hubby and sons know every Sunday late afternoon, I am going to say I am starting a diet Monday..I do good til around 11 am
then I have a chocolate donut, and I have blown it again so I will just wait til next Monday, but I have been praying that I can lose this weight..my knees and ankles are already starting to bother me...I have made it 3 whole days without cheating...yeah!!!! I would like any suggestions if anyone has any...and I would love to hear your weight loss story....

Memorial Day Review

This is a little recap of our camping weekend.....the first picture is my granddaughter Kaylee

she is mixing her own toenail polish color "mudpie brown" she says.....then the next picture is

the stringer of fish my hubby and fil caught everyday...down at the river where the guys were

fishing..kids and I walked down Saturday afternoon and look at the beach......you would have thought my kids had seen the ocean...i was dreaming white, beautiful beaches ...(snap back to real life)....who would have thought you could have a dirty, brown sand beach in Ozark, Arkansas..my kids buried each other and just had a ball....Sunday morning I got and went to a little church up the road from our camp "Webb City Baptist Church" it was a good service and the people was very friendly and made me feel welcome....At last please remember all the men and women who serve our country and that has lost their lives and also remember our loved ones we have lost.......................Have a good week

Finally Friday

We made it...Got the camper set up already had a pan of cast iron skillet of fried potatoes, hot dogs and fresh strawberry shortcake waiting on us...This is great.....Tomorrow I am going to get the ole camera out and take pictures of our day and post..Hope everyone gets to enjoy the holiday weekend....and please continuing praying for the Chapman family.....

Just touches of everyday life......
