Eating bright colored things

The "No's" in your life can't argue with what the doctor says :-)
Recently I went to the doctor for my yearly physical. My blood pressure was high, my cholesterol was high, I'd gained some weight,and I didn't feel so hot. My doctor said eating right doesn't have to be complicated and it would solve my physical problems. He said just think in colors... Fill your plate with bright colors... greens, yellows, reds, etc. I went right home and ate an entire bowl of many of those colors.... And sure enough, I felt better immediately. I never knew eating right could be so easy.

Friday night supper club

Many Friday nights we've gone out to dinner with our friends. Years ago it was with Lynn & Judy, but they now live in Walla Walla, WA and it's a bit hard to get together since our Lear jet is out for repairs. We now go with Dave & Donna U. Sometimes my sister Colleen comes along. She did this time. We go to a place in Midvale called the Last Outpost. This was a work party to discuss how Dave & Walt were going to weld the frame on the U's Airstream. Their frame developed a break on a recent trip to Yellowstone. They worked on it over the weekend and were able to fix it. The real test will be when it's taken out on the open road. It's the cutest thing ever so I hope the weld job does the trick.

Tomato tree

Did anyone have a lot of success with their tomato crop this year? Our was dismal. We so far have 10' high vines, with 2 red ones and 8 green ones. THAT's it?

Today we put together "General Bone E. Part" as part of our Halloween decorations. He'll be a bit chilly for a bit, but the slippers will keep his feet warm anyway. He's going to sit out side guarding the place. He's made up of PVC parts that just snap together - no glueing. That way he's easy enough to store.

Sweet on flowers

I am amazed that my sweetpeas are still blooming. The African violets make a nice contrast to them. Too bad there isn't a scratch n' sniff on the computer so you could smell these.

5th grade numbers

Are you smarter than a 5th grader? I don't remember learning this type of puzzle in 5th grade. Can anyone out there solve this? HELP! It came home thru one of my nephews.

Worn out program-aholic

I just hate being so busy that I can't get on here as much as some people update their blogs. I have so much to add yet by the time I get home from a 10-12 hr day (some of that has been 4-6 hrs of driving) I am exhausted. And with the daylight ending way toooooo soon, I just can't seem to be motivated enough to get on after dark. Ugh. I have to confess, I am a NEW TV program aholic. All the new shows on TV entice me to veg after dark. But I still want to do blogging too.

Getting my feet wet

This weekend I'm in the Seattle area for an all girls weekend get a way with my family members. It has been so nice so far - sunny and low 70'sF. Colleen & I helped Dad sort of a little of his storage unit. Mom had left for the gathering already with another of our sisters (Janet). The gathering is at a time share condo 1 3/4 hr N. of Seattle near the Canadian border. One thing we did last year was a morning of yard sales. Looking forward to more of them this year. So if you don't see anything new on here from me, it's because I won't have access to a computer till Monday. But I'll post then. Have a good weekend.

Pretty as a daisy

Yesterday I used the gift my Mom gave me for my birthday and had a spa pedicure done. I not only love the feel of someone massaging my feet, I love the idea of painted toenails. I used to go to a gal in Idaho, but not only did we move back to SLC, but she passed away. She was VERY good at what she did and was very reasonable too. I happened across a Vietnamese lady who I think is equally as good at what she does. My favorite color is apple red. She then paints a flower on the big toe. This time it's a daisy.

Sick Peaches

This past week not only have I had a cold, but so has Walt. Now Colleen is down with it too. I guess that's what happens in such close quarters = one gets sick- we all get sick. I am hoping C gets better before Wednesday as that is when we are flying to Seattle for a week to get together with a few of the females in the family for the weekend. It's the 5th annual one. This will be my 3rd. I am so excited to get with just the girls. The last trip was a Dad's bday celebration and we visited with LOTS of the family. This is just for females over 18 that are descandants from my Paternal G'ma and those that have legally married into the family tree. We call our line the Peach Tree as G'ma & G'pa met at G'ma's family peach orchard. He had gone there to pick peaches for money and met the girl of his dreams as well. Ahhhh. We call ourselves the Peach Blossoms. Pics for sure when we get back.
