Tales from the fruitcake household

Last night we took our holiday photo. To those of you on my address list, this is a bit of a preview though the picture I chose is different. It was taken before this one which clearly indicates our descent into fits of laughter.
It was the funniest photo shoot ever. It started out rather frantic [...]

The decorations are up!

How I spent my Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving:
Twinkling snowflake lights along the garage roof line with a snowman and christmas tree which nicely reflect sunlight as well as having lights of their own. Oh, these pics were all taken at sunset.
Snowflake lights blend into regular icicle lights along the side of the house. Those [...]

Thanksgiving

My list of things to be thankful for:
All my boys. That DS1 is mostly taking steps forward and for that wonderful opportunity he had to sing on stage and reveal a hidden talent. That DS2 is a Fruitcake And also that he is still my snuggle bear while having a most amazing football season [...]

Vacation week

I know, you would think that since I am simply sitting at home all week I should be able to type up all sorts of fascinating and intelligent posts in here, right? All this time stretching in front of me and all. Hah! I have been doing things. Lots of things. Things that needed doing [...]

Change of plans

No tournament for Alex. We fell short of players. Not surprising given that it is the weekend before Thanksgiving and we did not find out we needed players until late Thursday. I spent a lot of time on the phone last night and again this morning trying to sort this out. I’m first of all [...]

Otherwise I am fine and really looking forward to getting back into working out at Curves next week. No post-walk letdown exhaustion this time. Probably because I didn’t do the [...]

Recovering

Knees are still stiff and painful when I first get up from sitting for any length of time, but the blisters are fine. I went to the closing ceremonies on Sunday. Hung around cheering for walkers and then finally got the courage to go on in myself. I still felt like I didn’t belong since [...]

Good news and bad news

Know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em. (The bad news)
Perhaps the third time was not the charm. The blister from Day 1 became my ultimate nemesis creating a series of injuries which have knocked me out of the event. I had it bandaged as I started into day 2 and it flet [...]

3-day walk report, Day 1

Well the font should be pink, but then it would be *really* be hard to read so this mauve will have to do.
Oh man today was SLOW! Did not walk into camp until 4:45. Started at 7:40am though. Tomorrow I will get to camp to eat breakfast before 5:30 and hit the route when it [...]

Ready to walk!

Packed and ready to go! Of course, since I packed the gear bag, I have decided not to stay in the tents! It just doesn’t make sense to stay only one night. I have to drive to camp sight on Day 3 anyway since I will return home to attend Alex’s final football game. So, [...]
