Chelsi's Visit!

My beautiful daughter Chelsi came down to AZ to visit her Nanny and I!  Thank you sissy!  I loved having you here!

I was trying for an A.Jolie pose!!!

Chelsi got a kick out of "Pets=Animales Domesticos"!

Happy St. Paddy's Day! (Happy B~Day Clint!)

Spent the night at Mom's and due to the house being shown, we headed out kind of early to Tubac for breakfast and a wee bit of shopping.  Had a yummy egg bagel sandwich at the Tubac Deli & Coffee Shop.  Skipped over to the Tubac Olive Oil Company and sampled a ton of flavored balsamic vinegars.  Brought home 6 (pear, coconut, bacanut, espresso, regular, ginger honey) and a freebie for mom (raspberry).   Drove North on 19 to San Xavier Mission.  Had a fabulous docent (another freebie) tour of the church and was thrilled to discover 3 representations of "Our Lady of Guadalupe".  Lots of good info and picture taking.  Loved it!  Then to scrapbook store where everything green was 17% off...can't beat that!

Home Again

Up early and of course got on the computer!  Amber, Arran, and Theo all cuddled up with me, nice to  be home...and I think they are glad too!  Worked out, clipped Theo's claws, did 3 loads of wash, changed the sheets, and started the Dyson moving!  Talked to Nini, Ted, and Doreen...need to call Mom to see how her night went.  Mike arrives on Friday, Jeanene arrives on Sunday, and Chelsi arrives on the 3rd.  No one overlaps to see each other, but Mom and I get to see everyone!  Kelly left on Tuesday and on Monday night the 3 of us went down to Tubac and ate a wonderful meal at "Maria's Grill".  

Lent begins today and I am looking at a healthy 40 days...myfitnesspal.com, eating 3/5 of the following daily-oatmeal, cinnamon, hardboiled egg, pinenuts, apples, trying to replace water for beer,  and thanking God daily for my health! (also signed up for bp's annual "Staywell" program this morning)

Here's to your health!

Bye Daddy!  I Love You and Know You Love Me Too!  Thanks for Everything!

Great Day!

Kelli Sue and I cleaned most of the morning/early afternoon!  Now it is time for  Downton Abbey and Boiled Dinner!

In Texas!

Arrived Thursday and spent the day with my BFF, Kay!  Met Mike at the apartment around 6 and got a tour.  It looks great, so funny to see some of our furniture there.  His new favorite stores are Target and IKEA...that cracks me up also!  Salad that night.
Friday, I was allowed to drive Penelope and drove Mike to work, then to meet Kay as we shopped for ProGrad at BB & B.  Also enjoyed a great lunch at Sweet Tomatoes...OMGoodness Delicious!  Then back to the apartment to get ready for Holiday Party at the Houstonian.  Great evening and enjoyed meeting new folks and seeing past pals like Nancy, Lamar, Luke, and Janie.  Chatted with Janie for quite awhile realized I hadn't seen her since Ryan was born, back in Egypt.  Great food as well and was glad Kelli could attend. 
Saturday, had the best breakfast ever at Pecan Creek Grill.  Shrimp and Cheesy Grits was my choice, Mike enjoyed an Omelette, and Kelli had beautiful french toast!  Hashbrowns were yum too and the coffee was a delicious cinnamon house blend.  Hope to eat there again soon!  After some errands were run, we visited with the Cooke family...some of our favorite people!  Mr. P produced his ever fabulous fajitas and we were a happy group!  Also able to join Kevin at the pre Sadie Hawkins picture taking. So much fun!
Today...slept in, watching movies, drinking slimrite and Mike & I visited the workout room!  Found some clothes and scrapping supplies that I had shipped this direction.  Nice!  Watching football soon!

Mike gave me an article about 5 fat burners...cinnamon, hard-boiled eggs, apples, pinenuts, and oatmeal...luckily all favorites of mine!  Have them all every day!  OK!
