Something About Nothing

 We drove to Reno this past weekend. I watched a LOT of volleyball while my daughter played.  My daughter and her team took first in their division! We ate a lot of good food, but I still watched what I ate. My weigh in today will tell how good I was at figuring it all out. (WOW, I lost 7 lbs this week!  That brings me to 40 lbs total!!!  I guess I did great at figuring out all the food.  And the ton of walking we did was very helpful too, I'm sure!) We took a side trip up to Lake Tahoe for some fun in the sun.  I haven't been to Lake Tahoe since my Mom died 10 1/2 years ago.  Mom lived in South Lake Tahoe, CA, and we loved visiting her there.  Being there brought back many bitter sweet memories.  The perfect weather was very helpful, and the water, though cold, was delightful. The gentleman who was renting these paddle boards allowed all the girls to give it a try.  No one fell in the water, thankfully, and...

My other beautiful cat was reading my blog today and decided that there was not enough about her in here. She demanded that I take her picture, add it to the blog and include a little something about her. (I'm a little concerned however, can you see how she seems to be squinting? Maybe I need to get her some reading glasses?) Well I hope this post will satisfy her vanity. Probably not, I should include that she has a beautiful voice which she uses to wake me up every morning so that she can get her treats. She also loves to keep fit by running around the house like a mad woman at very random times, usually at night. You always know she is coming because she has these lovely paws which are HUGE and alert you to her coming. We affectionately call her "Sasquatch." Canning takes forever! Well at least for me it does. However the results are quite delicious and I should remember that before I complain too much. Friday I purchased apples at the farmers market, and th...

I went to the farmer's market in Murray today with my neighbor and her cute doggie . He rides in a stroller and we receive lots of comments about what a cute baby she has. We take him in the stroller so we have something to carry some of the farmer goodness in! Today the poor baby was squished in the stroller with a couple watermelons and some corn. We did give him some of our samples of bread and some of the homemade tamale she bought to make up for the uncomfortableness . He was very content. I bought some fresh corn and was very sad to hear that this is their last weekend at the farmers market. I considered buying more to freeze because the people at the stand were telling me how easy it was to do, but this is a crazy busy weekend and I didn't want to buy it and then have it go bad before I could put it up. This winter, I know I will be sorry I didn't do it because they sell the best corn and it's only $5 for a dozen ears. I bought a couple of seedless watermelons wh...
