I slept for 8 hours last night!

Good Morning!

Yesterday I decided that it was time to make a change in my life.  I turn 61 in May and I am going to stop being a work-a-holic and start to enjoy life more.  I want to get closer to God, spend more time with family and friends, eat healthier, sleep more and work sensible hours.  Gone are the days of only getting 3 to 4 hours of sleep. 

Every day I am going to work on a new hobby, read a book, take a walk and smell the roses!  I bought a new to do list.  It's pink with a cute saying .....I totally need to.....______.  Every night before I go to bed I am going to list some things I want to accomplish the next day!  And.....try to finish everything I put on my list.

I am so....excited to share that I got 8 hours of sleep last night!  That is practically unheard of for me.  In the past I would go to bed.....very late....and wake up at 4:30 in the morning.  So....I am really putting my new changed life into place. 

I encourage you to make some changes in your life....and see just how good it makes you feel to accomplish them!

Well, I'm off to make one of my favorite drinks of the day!  Spring water, Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar and some honey.  I weighed myself this morning and one of my goals is to eat healthier, lose some weight, so that is one of the goals I will be working on today.

ta....ta...till later!  And remember......Keep Calm and Get More Sleep!

Kitties got a bath.....and more!

Roger and I are up in beautiful Big Bear.  Friday we had a yummy breakfast at the Barnstorm.  Then we went into town and bought some healthy~delicious food.  I've never seemed to like Greek Yogurt, but I found a banana flavor that I just love.

I have to say....I am really enjoying eating healthier....I don't even miss all of the candy I ate over the holidays!  My new favorite foods are radishes, sunflower seeds and cucumber water!  Delish! 

Last night Roger and I went out for dinner at The Barnstorm, they sent him a nice Birthday card for dinner on them.  Art Harriman was playing.....luv him.  He used to sing with Elvis and has loads of fun stories to tell.  Last week Shirley Jones sang with Art, sorry we missed her.

 

The kitties got a bath yesterday.  Roger gives them their baths and I blow then dry & groom them.  Princess Mocha didn't like getting groomed....as usual....so I ended up with some pretty nice scratches....  Mynxie.....would never scratch me... his motto is Keep Calm and Purr On....no matter what!

 

 

 

I'm spending most of this trip....cleaning the cabin.  I have loads to do, but I'm starting to make a dent in my chores.  I'm even taking some time to relax, too, I'm knitting a scarf.  I will post a picture soon!

 

ta...ta....for now! Kathy Renee



It's me again!

Dear Family and Friends.....

I had to put my blogging on hold last year.....as we went through a lot as a family.  

Last October, my Precious "Daddy-Boy" went to see his maker while we were singing...Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow me....all the days of my life.  While we miss Daddy~Boy with all of our hearts, we are thrilled to know he is with his Lord in complete health!

Here are some of my favorite pictures of the last few months with my precious Daddy~Boy.  Even though Alzheimer's took so much from him, it never took away his love for us!  We practically lived at his care facility and I loved doing the smallest of crafts with him.  I know it brightened his day and made me the happiest girl ever!  I love you.....to the moon and back!

 

Daddy~Boy....loved to hold our hands, I just love this picture of us! 

 

We celebrated Daddy-Boy and Mommy's 63rd Wedding Anniversary at his care center, the best day ever!

 

This is the picture of my Daddy~Boy that my Mom has carried in her wallet for 63 years!

 

Daddy~Boy.....loved his Charlotte!

 

Our last Easter together....

 

What a handsome couple!

Daddy~Boy and Roger.....he stayed by my Daddy~Boy's side after he went to heaven for 3 hours.... until Fairhaven came.....to pick him up.....Roger told me you NEVER leave a fallen hero!
