THANKS FOR STOPPING BY FOLKS:))

OUR FRONT YARD JUNGLE IS SLOWLY ENVELOPING OUR HOUSE

Monday morning weigh-in....... 208:)) Well, at last my weight is heading in the right direction again & I'm down 5 pounds from last week's 213. First benefit I am noticing is the soreness in my legs has greatly diminished. Wished I could say the same for my cravings of peanut butter & honey sandwiches but it's going to take a little longer to lose that one. I've been down this road before so I know what to expect & I do know they will eventually go. I beat alcohol addiction nearly 30 years ago followed by my cigarette habit about 27 years ago. Ten years ago I wrestled a coffee addiction down to a sensible level & now it's the battle of the bulge. It took me many attempts over a period of years before defeating alcohol & cigarettes. Getting my coffee consumption under control took awhile too. I've been fighting this weight thing for about 5 years now but one of these times I'm going to nail it to the wall for the last time!! Just like I did all the others!!!! STELLA de ORO' LILLIES

How many times have you shot your face off with the garden hose!! Did it again to-day while cleaning some windows. Had the hose in my right hand as I reached around the ladder to pick up the squeegee. As I leaned forward I squeezed the hose trigger against the ladder & blew my glasses off. And it seems everytime I drop the hose on the ground it always has to land on the trigger side sending a blast of water straight up my unsuspecting nose. Ohhhhh, the hazards of summer!!

Even though we haven't been traveling anywhere for the past two & half months I am still amazed at how many people still visit our website. We were averaging 160 hits a day on the site last winter. The numbers dropped slowly since we've been home but leveled out about a month ago to an average of 105 visits a day. That is so encouraging for someone like myself who has spent a lifetime wrestling with poor self esteem & low confidence levels. A big thank-you to everyone out there who literally helps to make my day.............everyday!!. Thanks for stopping by folks:))))
