Pa Day card

A typical celebration day card from Jason. He needs to open his own store, his resources for finding these type of cards is unusual.

Outside in Nature

My soul/spirit is renewed by being outside in Nature. And that can just be looking at the flowering plants and green trees in my own backyard. I love even better to be in a wooded area and hiking, looking at the beauty.

This morning I was up and watering my outside plants. It is usually peaceful, quiet and still in the mornings and evenings in Cedar Park. I can hear the birds chirping, see the hummingbirds flying from plant to feeder.

It all gives me such a contented, peaceful feeling. Calms me. Renews me.

Yikes!

I get busy and forget that I want to blog as my life journal.
Let's see, what's been happening.

Rick went back to Indy to help Barbara and see his mom. So glad he is able to do that but he's tired of traveling. Won't be going back to Indy for several months. He is getting worn out.

I started a ketogenic/low carb high fat diet (meaning new way of eating) and lost 2 1/2 pounds in 4 days.

I'm a believer in the science of the lchf diet. I went off it a little on Sat and a lot on Sun. Back on today. I feel better and my reflux does better when I'm eating real whole foods and not many grains especially and carbs just in general.

Pics can never do justice to how pretty something is, these are taken from the balcony.

Heading home to Austin

I have been here almost 3 weeks and have really enjoyed my time. It has gone quickly, I've been busy with kids and ggrrls. So happy I got to be here for all the end of year events with the ggrrls. The last thing is a dance recital, followed by a piano recital tonight, all for Stella.

The weather has turned beautiful. I will miss being here, will miss getting up for my walks around the lake and creek. Such a pretty place to walk. If we could find a home here, Daybreak is where I would choose to live when we move here.

Rick misses me (yay) and is ready to have me home, but he leaves next week for Indy. Then I get to miss him.

Scott and I went out to lunch at Mountain Mike's for the lunch buffet. Delish. I will also miss that young'in, along with my ggrrls, daughter and son (in-law).

More ducks

I know I have put in a lot of posts and pics about the ducks, but they are just so darn cute! All the babies were adorable and now they are growing up.

Yesterday morning I was out walking, Paige called and said I have a doc appoint at 9, you need to leave right now to get here. I hurried home, threw a few things in a bag and drove there. Paige had left a few min before to make it to her appoint.

The ggrrls and I did some morning chores, I showered and got dressed for my hair appoint at 11. Paige called and said she wouldn't make it back in time so I took the ggrrls over to Kara's for the few min before Paige returned.

Kirby fixed my crooked hair (I like it so much better) and I went to Redmond's Heritage Farm for some kombucha. Bought 4, one for everyone except Stella who doesn't like it.
Met them at Chic-fil-a for lunch (I didn't eat), then drove back to South Jordan around 2. Scott and I had stuff to do, then took Mya for a walk.

I leave on Sat, my time is running out, I'm trying to get in everything I wanted to do. I guess I won't get to walk at Cascade Springs (road was still closed when I called last week).
