Saturday Afternoon

It's been a really dreary day. Not quit as hot as it has been and it's looked like rain all day. We went to the library and took back some books and then went to pick up some Rx's and then went to visit Terry's best friend that is in the hospital. They can't figure out what's wrong with him. He's short of breath and has no energy and one Dr. says it's his heart and the other says it's his lungs. They've run all sorts of test and now he has to wait till Monday and they are going to run an angiogram just to make sure he doesn't have any blocked artery's, but I'm betting he does. Sure seems to have all the symptoms. Anyway Terry and I haven't been feeling quite too well either but I think it's just this stupid weather and tomorrow it's supposed to go up to 94. Yippee. Glad we got out today cause tomorrow we'll go to church and that's about it. I can't take that kind of heat. Well have a nice weekend all.

Friday

Well I hope someone tries to comment on my posts as I checked and double checked my settings again and I've even copied off of Lois's, so they surely should be right now. Took a walk yesterday and it was too hot and I got home and it about did me in and I was no good for the rest of the day. Learned my lesson, today I will walk the treadmill. It's supposed to be up in the 90's for quite a number of days so I don't plan on going anywhere that we'll be outside for any amount of time. No plans anyway so guess we'll just stay home. Have a nice weekend all.

Wednesday 3:00 pm

I have done everything I can. I've even gotten a new template and I've gone over my settings and double checked my settings and I can find no reason why people cannot comment on my blog. I give up. HELP!!!!!!!!!

Monday Evening

I'm sitting here watching the Bachelorette on TV so I thought I'd write in my blog while I watch. We had a very busy weekend going to two graduation party's and by the time we got home Sunday evening we were both exhausted. It's amazing how being social with people is so tiring and going to those two parties really tired me out. We found out when we got home that our daughter Patti finished her first triathlon on Sunday and I am so proud of her. It was a 5 mile canoe race, a 5 mile run or walk and a 16 mile bike ride and she did it with some friends and some neighbors and they all 10 finished except one and they had a blast. When we got home a bunch of them were across the street celebrating and we went over and gave them all big hugs. It was so great and we are so proud of them all. They are all in their early 30's and late 30's so I'd say that's quite and accomplishment especially for Patti who has had 8 knee surgeries and finally a complete knee replacement. She is quite the exercise nut. I wish I had half her enthusiasm. I have to really push myself to exercise. I was lucky today Patti and I got asked over a neighbors to go swimming and I do love to swim. I really enjoyed that and it felt so good to swim and exercise in the pool. I loved it. May I should look into joining the Y. ???

Saturday

Well my other post has been there since early Thursday and no one has commented. Hum, I wonder why?? Other's have written their blogs daily and I have commented on them. I hope it's not something I've said. I'm sorry if it is. I haven't meant to offend any one.

I am so disgusted with myself. I weigh the same as I have for 2 or 3 years but it's all around my middle and allot of my jeans and carpi's from last year don't fit, and because of my rib problem I can't do much in the form of exercising for fear of that problem starting up. So I'm going to try and lose some weight, I guess. I'm really going to try and watch what I eat and see if I can drop maybe 10 pounds or so. It sure would be nice if I could. Wish me luck. I don't feel like I eat that much now but I guess I eat the wrong things sometimes.

Today we have a graduation party to go to and tomorrow another one. That should be real helpful on a diet. lol . I'll be glad when this weekend is over. Have a nice weekend all.

This is Jake, Terry and I. Terry says I have my camera on some sort of wrong setting because all our faces look flat.

There's our new patio set. We've been getting allot of use out of it as the chairs are so comfortable for reading and whatever else you want to do. I'm really loving it. So much nicer than just having a picnic table.

Last nice we went to our Grandson Jake's graduation from the 8th grade. They had a Mass and Awards ceremony and a breakfast for the parents in the morning and then last night they had a ceremony for the grandparents and other family members and handed out their diploma's. It was very nice and then afterwards there was a party for all the students in the cafeteria. The students were all dressed up in suits or sports coats and nice dresses and heels and they looked so grown up. Jake looked so grown up, he look like a man and not like a boy. They had to get him a size 44 sport coat which I think is pretty big. Jake is the one who is so into history and so much like Terry. He could become anything he wants to, he is so smart and has such a great mind. He won a $2,000.00 scholarship to high school and we are just so proud of him. We can't wait to see what he does with his life as an adult. (I hope I live that long) His parents are always getting compliments on what a nice kid he is. His class went on a trip to Washington DC and the chaperons all said Jake was the most interested in things they saw of all the students and that he even explained things to the other kids. We are just so proud of him. He's just a good kid and so well rounded. Sorry for going on so long.
