I love to swim!

So Joan and I are swimming at 7:30 in the morning three times a week. The water is perfect and we swim for 45-60 minutes. My arms have been a little sore but it feels so good - I think swimming is my favorite form of exercise. Thanks - Joan - for installing a pool.

Carolyn and I have spent two weeks this summer viewing houses - she is moving back to Houma - and after viewing approximately 25 houses and putting in a bid on three - she has finally been successful and she and Cindy will be moving into their new house around mid July. It's a really nice three bedroom/two bath home with a great layout - built in bookcases - fireplace - back patio - and two car garage. So - if anyone out there needs help finding a house to buy I am quite the expert by now on what not to buy!

Gee's surgery is Tuesday - keep him in your prayers - although I'm sure everything will be fine! I'll have to be sure and look good that day since he will finally be able to see me with both eyes - ha!

We will be installing ceramic tile on the screened in porch soon - just found a tile and a friend to install it so hopefully this will happen in the near future. Now - I just have to recover my cushions and spruce up the porch a little.

Ahhh - the beach!

Just got back from a week at the beach with the girls. We relaxed on the beach - read books - shopped - swam - the usual stuff. I read three books - Stephen King's "Bag of Bones" - wierd - Claire Cook's "Life's a Beach" - nice fun novel - and Jennifer Haig's "Miss Kimble" - really good.
This is out third annual trip and we will definitely be back next year. Carolyn told me about a great backpack beach chair with a canopy top so I was in the shade the whole time - thanks sis!
We bought some nice jewelry at Blue Girl Bead Shop and some nice pottery.

So I will start exercising Monday!!!!!!!!!!!! Joan and I are going to start swimming - I will begin my weight routine again - and do some pilates. Time to get serious and lose a few pounds - too much Key Lime Pie!

Week 1

Week one of summer vacation was fun - especially when Carolyn and Cindy decided t0 nix the northshore and move back home!!!!!!!!!!! I was reserved when she initially told me cause I was afraid she would change her mind but now that it's set - YEAH!!!!

Gee and I haven't been "vetting" lately - it's in the shop - seems the transmission needed some work. I'm ready for it to come home!

Angelle asked the question on her blog about what we like about summer. I think my favorite this is daily life. I like just doing normal everyday things at my pace. I eat breakfast when I'm hungry instead of morning recess - I don't mind cleaning and doing laundry and paying bills. I like getting to watch daytime TV. I love window shopping and running errands with the idea that if I don't do it today I can always do it tomorrow. I guess this is what retirement will be like eventually.
