Welcome to FFF! Hosted by Susanne!
This is the season of so many wonderful things happening.. only only in nature but well, everywhere. I know I have many praises!!
Time seems to be flying by... Goodness I joined Weight Watchers three weeks ago and I am so hopeful that tomorrow when I return to class that I will get my second 5 pound off charm, because I am pretty sure I will have lost 10 pounds by tomorrow!
I really am enjoying Weight Watchers this time around. Well, I joined way back in the 80's when I was in my 30's, ...but now we have computers that keep track of everything. Recipes are easily stored, and it is actually fun to track your daily menus by the number of points eaten and it makes things much easier!! I am thankful to my friend Gerri for suggesting that we do this, I know it will have a great impact on my life and health!
Yard work has really given me a great reason to get outside more, especially during this cooler weather!!! We purchased some new plantings this season... 2 limelight hydrangeas,
a mandevilla,
a meadow rue shrub
With my regained interest in getting things done round the house I was actually able over several days to take the guest room apart., work through winter/ summer clothing, purge 2 and 1/2 trash bags of clothing, and am ready now to redecorate in anticipation of our daughter's family visit the last week of June! I am so thankful that will be us for those days. I pray all will be good and their travels will be safe and they arrive happy and well!
As they live in New England, this photo of our family was taken at the Boston- VT basketball game last December.
Music is very important to our family. Daughter and her hubby met learning to play the violin and now they play in their Park Street Church orchestra in Boston. Thankfully, now the girls are taking music.. and I am so delighted to be able to see and hear them perform!
I'm glad you're finding weightwatchers helpful - I'm sure doing it with a friend is good motivation. Those are lovely flowers. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have gotten lots done! Congratulations on the weight loss. The flowers are so pretty. Have fun redecorating the guest room!
ReplyDeleteOMGOSH your daughter and family go to Park Street Church??!!! My daughter Courtney visited there while at Gordon College (north shore Boston) and my friend's son who is a first year BU student now goes there weekly!! How cool is that??!! Boston is our fave city (yes we are NYers but we actually don't care for NYC so rarely go down).
ReplyDeleteYAY for purging and cleaning and redecorating...that's always a blessing to me too. That purple bush is so pretty!! I love it.
HAPPY WEEKEND
Being with family is such a blessing. I am from the north shore of Boston!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful additions to your yard! I bought a mandevilla this year but I didn't realize it was a climber. I think here in my part of Canada it is a annual as it won't survive our winter? It's wonderful that you are enjoying the Weight Watchers experience this time around and that it is helping you. What fun motivation the anticipation of your daughter's visit is. Sounds like you are getting lots accomplished.
