My version of Zaccheus

While singing one of my granddaughters favorite songs on the phone, her mommy decided to record us. I changed the words a little to make it more appropriate for her. She loved it. I had no idea that she would be going in circles while listening. Here she is in their laundry room. It is being remodeled.At the end of the song, she is saying "again, again". Hey, at least she likes my singing voice.

Weight Watchers What?

Here we go again. The first shipment of Girl Scout Cookies arrived at our office yesterday. No, I am not in Girl Scouts, but Emily, the doctor's daughter, is. So, we get to keep them here. If we don't sell them all, we just eat them.

All ready started on the first box. These things go down so easy. They are becoming bite size to me.

Won't be going to weight watchers for a while. Just use willpower...what is that?

Upgrade 101

Living in the same house with the same phone number and the same man for 37 years, well, you need to upgrade at times.
I have been wanting to get an over the stove microwave for several years, so I could free up some counter space. Tom and I decided that is what we were going to do for each other for our Christmas gift.
Yesterday we went for it. It took all day and a lot of muscle work, well muscle work on my part because, for some reason, I got the heavy side and neither of us realized it. I think Tom just thought I was being a whimp. He kept telling me that I need to work out more. OKAY...that is good to know.
In order to get the microwave to be flush with the cabinets, we had to remove the cabinet above and cut it 3 inches. So, we had to lift the microwave and hook the bottom on the brackets at least 10 times, nothing is ever easy for us.
About the 11th time, I told Tom to just hold on a second, my arms and back were killing me. Every time we picked that thing up, his side was a breeze, I was grunting and groaning. Finally I asked him to trade sides, maybe it would be lighter, and IT WAS. The whole time, from 11:30 to 5:00, yes that is how long it took us, I was picking up the heavy end. This womens lib thing is ridiculous! Whether we like it or not, women are the WEAKER sex!!!!
