This week has been very strange for me. I have been eating very healthy, but I still don't feel safe to exercise since I haven't been feeling 100%-I think it's bronchitis- doctor thinks it's allergies-how do you know that you know more than a doctor?? I am looking forward to getting active again-hopefully it will be soon. This weekend is swamped with baseball tournament, Islandfest, and more baseball- plus it is the last 2 weeks of school, so all is crazy at this point. Final projects, tests, exit exams...the list goes on-  I am certainly looking forward to the 10 weeks of pure freedom-I call it a "retirement tease"-because it is all that and more! LOL   Our flowers around the house are looking great, the deck in the back will be our summer project-needs to be taken down and re-done. Lots of work, but it will be worth it!

Well, tomorrow is Friday, and I need my sleep to make it through the day of a 7th grade teacher.

I will be blogging again on Sunday after my weigh - in.

With summer in mind- it's time for some relaxing tea-

I'm Still Here!

I have not been blogging for several reasons...one, my son's baseball and spring hockey schedule keeps me going 24/7, two, my school work for my 7th graders piles up on me like crazy, and thirdly, it is the end of the school year and I am just loaded with paper work to do, cleaning up to do, housework inside and out to do, and wanting to fit in readin a good book and crocheting.

I am still on the journey to losing the 10 pounds I've been blogging about. I did very well, but then gained it back. I am not giving up this journey though, so stick with me- the best is yet to come!

We are grilling on cedar planks tonight-yes, fresh walleye from Lake Erie- fresh pineapple on the grill as well, and some corn on the cob and fresh steamed green beans with almonds. Yes, I even made a low fat trifle with fat free pound cake, fat free pudding, fat free cool whip and strawberries! YUM! Only one serving!

I have had the opportunity to crochet my oldest son's afghan. It turned out beautifully and now I am half done with my younger son's. I have a sea green afghan started with sampler squares, but I am not sure who the recipient of that one will be. It looks very feminine, so maybe a family member or a friend...

I have taken some nice walks with my husband. We walk at least three miles when we go-so it'a always a good workout. We biked over to Swan Island the other day-it was such a nice ride! Lots to look at and lots to discover. I think this is the only reason why I love this island so much- the scenrey and the natural areas are just one to soak in...

More to come later-

Stick with me!
