…A couple of years ago I made the statement “a house is not a home unless there is a paino or organ in it” and in passing continued on with another conversation. It wasn’t long before Russ was scanning Ebay pages, found two and bought them both. I was now the proud owner of an organ or two. Read the rest of this entry »

Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow
Was It Worth It?
Yesterday we went to the doctor’s and visited the nurse there so we could be officially weighed. It had been 2 weeks (or a fortnight as they say here) and one day when we started on our diet and lifestyle change journey. I sat there waiting for her to call us in. She had seen us in the waiting room and asked “Has everything gone to plan?” at which time I responded by saying “We’ll soon find out but I think so!” Suddenly the door opened and our names were called. The moment of truth was about to descend! Read the rest of this entry »
The Verdict Is In!
Well, the verdict is in and the moment came yesterday when Russ and I stepped onto the scales! We were thinking…”surely we’ve lost”… The proof is with me, I am already starting to feel better. And Russ was thinking “must have lost after all the changes we’ve made”… He went first…and then he balanced carefully on the scales. The dial started to move…and… Read the rest of this entry »
What A Surprise!
I met so many nice people since I landed in the online world of computing. I could go on and on about my start but that will have to be for another blog. I have lost count of those I’ve encountered along the way. My darling husband was discovered there and I’m so pleased I found him. The great thing about having online friends is that you never quite know what surprise might be waiting for you in this vast area of “online”… and it was the same this morning. I woke up, made my coffee, along with other little chores and then settled in…and there it was… Read the rest of this entry »
We Did It!
I am so excited…I looked in the garden last week and low and behold! There they were! When I looked them up in the gardening book I have, they said “they are a challenge to grow”… In talking to others, I am the only one I know that has had any success with them. What are they?

Almost A Week!
Well! We’ve traveled along for almost a week. Tomorrow will be a week that we’ve changed our life, our eating habits, and decided that the excess weight must go! Read the rest of this entry »
The First Day
Well! Once again it is the “first day of the rest of my life” and I have begun yet another diet or should I say lifestyle change. This time Russ has joined me. I really must lose this weight and armed with a few more tools, lots of determination, and the support of Russ (who also will be losing weight with me) we begin the rest of our lives with hopefully what will become a little less of us.

Choosing Colors
Ahhh.. now this is an interesting subject in this household. What a shock when we first came to choose the colors of some remodeling we were doing. What I found when I arrived here was pink walls (varying shades of different pinks), red carpet (with a pattern), and burgundy leather furniture. I nearly ran for my life…but… Read the rest of this entry »
