Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

The older my kids get, the possiblity of everyone tgether on vacation seems like a remote possibility. We were fortunate to have it happen. Seven if us, including Baby Rye, in our two bedroom condo in Palm Springs. Cozy but fun. On our last night together we talked of our highlights:

Two of my S'sIL were in Phoenix celebrating C's brother's 80th birthday. We couldn't go so they brought the party to us even though it was a brief visit the end of their trip, so appreciated:

We picked grapefruit in an abandoned orchard and made grapefruit mimosas the next morning:

    Nice website with the dog next to the lady knitting. Sounds like you really enjoyed good weather and being with family. My motto is work and work out. Back issues and I have a new, commited lifestyle. I swam 100 laps today and hope to in a few weeks get up to 150 laps. I also have yoga tapes I ordered and Tai Chi tapes. Anything to burn some calories and help my newly diagnosed scoliosis, arthritis and bone spurs in my back.
    All this exercised is making my face look younger along with glowing skin. I have to get rid of this muffin stomach. I will keep up my 3-4 times a week work out as prescribed.
