And she'll sit down and read it for the longest time.
She especially likes looking at the pictures.
Recognize what book she's reading? If you guessed
Gracie's Diary you are right!
Who would have thought!
I think Summer looks like a Kewpie Doll.
What do you think?
Dear Diary, Short stuff is talking a lot these days. She says pillllllow, shoes, piggies, love ya, nigh-nigh, mommie, dada, baby, sissie, ga-ga, bop-bop, and..... Drum roll please.... Woof-Woof! I've grown to Love that kid! Gracie.
Trying hard to make excuses, I asked the girl who owns the gym (and who also sat down with me and devised a 2 week startup plan), "Do old people join Life Fitness?
I amold you know? "
When I told her I was 58, she was quick to tell me
her age as well...
The confirmation that I needed to ensure me that I had come to the right place.
We visited a place called Q-Mart where there was a little bit of this and a little bit of that. The candy store (above) had the sweetest smell! It took me back to my childhood days of filling up little paper sacks with 10 cents worth of penny candy.
We stayed in a suite at the Hampton Inn in Bethlehem, PA and it was very nice. The only problem was, the bed was soft and I don't rest well unless I have a firm mattress.
We took Gary's Mom out for Mother's Day brunch on Sunday morning before we left to come home.
Waiting at home for me was all kinds of Mother's Day goodies.
And a dog who wanted to know:
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!! LEAVING ME ALL ALONE ON A STORMY WEEKEND?!"
*** don't feel too sorry for the dog. Lindsey and Rissi take really good care of her while we are away and they visit often to let her out and fill her bowls to overflowing with food and water
In March we attended the Mid Atlantic Hearing Expo in Harrisburg Pa.
While there, we received 13 CEU's, enjoyed really good food, met some interesting people, and learned a lot.
In the interesting people category, we met a mother, father and son from Bethlehem, Pa. A handsome, well mannered family, whom we were drawn to...
The type of people you meet and feel like you have
known all your life.... Gary gave them a copy of my book and they were so appreciative and thanked us over and over again.
What intrigued me the most about this family was the son, who was exceptional in looks, manners, and respect. It blessed my heart to see this young man following in his parents footsteps and becoming a successful business person. But what I did not know, until I returned home and Googled him, is that this young man is a musician as well.
This guy is going to be famous someday! He has everything it takes: Talent, confidence, perseverance, good looks, dedication, drive, and a heart for God.
One day I will say... " you mean Blaise Delfino? Oh, yes... I know him!"
Now, picture this: Gary and I sitting on the dusty floor of a place called the Living Room in Stroudsburg, Pa. ... waiting to see Blaise do his set, and making it through a set of Scream-o that just about killed my eardrum > Yikes! And enjoying some other young people with amazing talent as well.
Yes, I needed help getting up when it was all over. LOL!
We are Blaise's Golden Groupies.
Check out this talent: (the second video is the one I took from the floor of the Living Room)
If I could make days last forever If words could make wishes come true I'd save every day like a treasure and then, Again, I would spend them with you But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do Once you find them I've looked around enough to know That you're the one I want to go Through time with If I had a box just for wishes And dreams that had never come true The box would be empty Except for the memory Of how they were answered by you But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do Once you find them I've looked around enough to know That you're the one I want to go
Through time with....
"Glad I was included in this post... but it would have meant a lot more to me if I would have been invited to dinner with the rest. Hmph!"
