A Stay-Cation Will Be Nice

Cute Overload!

Oh, but I am weary.  There is no reason for it.  I just am.  It is perhaps twisted of me to look forward to a major surgery just so I can get some time off and rest. Right now I could easily hibernate through the rest of winter.  Well, I would wake up for the Gordon Lightfoot concert then go back to bed.  My birthday is this month and I would be OK to sleep through that too.

Weight Watchers. I have been following their plan for 6 weeks now and have lost almost 9 pounds.  And nobody has noticed. My clothes are a little looser. The plan itself is great and easy to follow. The problem I am having is just how much food is out there and how accessible it is!  It is true that some people can eat whatever they want and then others have to watch every bite.  A friend of mine has a waist that is about the size of a 12 year old girl.  I have seen her eat!  And she drinks gallons of red wine! How does she stay so thin? I don't know. 

I read a post about going through pictures in my files that are long forgotten.  So, here you go. 

This is my grandpa.  I adored him.  I just look at this picture and my heart grows.  He was everything a man should be to a little girl.  I have clear memories of being very small and following him everywhere. As you can see he was a ham radio operator. He always let me talk to his buddies.  He let me jump on his bed and he smelled like Brylcreem.  We would go out to his garden and he worked while I "helped". He never got mad when I pulled up the wrong thing.  My best memory of him is crawling up into his lap while he sat in his "easy chair".  I would curl my tiny body into his big round one and listen to his breathing and his heart beat.  He loved me so much.  Unfortunately, he died when I was only 9 so I didn't have him for as long as I would have liked but I feel especially blessed to have had him for my grandpa.
