SILVER SNEAKERS

My first session at Silver Sneakers exercise program. I actually feel good. I feel like I have moved every part of my body. 45 minutes of no nonsence exercise in a bigggg room at the Court House with mirrors all around. Oh no I thought. The instructer told us to look at her and nobody else. Thank goodness no one could stare at me while I learned how to use weights, roll that ball all over, and other things I wont tell here. I loved it and I think I will enjoy going. I know I need to. I came home and ate a healthy salad- so hooray for me.

GRADUATION DAY FOR BRYAN

It was a pleasure to see Bryan so honored. I have always told him that I am his #1 fan. Thank you Lord for letting me get at least a glimsp of what he can be. I have always prayed for that. I think Ashley should get applause too. What fun they will have going to live in Boston and seeing what else is in store for them. I love and respect all my grandchildren and am proud of them.

SATURDAY BLUEBERRY PANCAKES AGAIN

I hope we do not run out of blueberries in the freezer before we have new ones on our bushes. The Canada gesse came in with a big noise. I wonder why they do that. Splash and they are here and we know it. With the windows up you can hear all sorts of noises. I am sure (almost) that I saw the alagator yesterday. On the other side of the lake swimming fast and it could not have been
a turtle. Wow!!no swimming for me. There was very little chance of that anyway. I will keep you updated because if ther is one--stands to reason ther are two.

EARTH DAY---GO GREEN11111

An adventure said Amy. Off we went to Capitol Street. THE MISSISSIPPI chapter of AMERICAN SOCIETY of LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS of Mississippi State created a green space in front of their building (same place that Bryan goes to school.) They rented one parking space, put down grass sod. a lawn table with umbrella, two chairs, a live plant and two guys were relaxing. How clever to show you that you could create green space any place you choose. Of course they rented the space for one day and it is there no more. I thought it was fun. We then went to SAL AND MOOKIES. sat on the porch and had vegetarian pizza and salad. Mmmmmmm good. All inall it was a good day.

SUNSHINE ON MY SHOLDER

John Denver's songs "make me happy" I thought he had an unusual voice and his songs were good. Too bad we lost him. Sunday was off and on rain-we went to Sunday School and Church--then out to eat st ANTHONY Z's. Oyster poboy--not enough oysters and too much bread. But it was good. They laughed at Truman when we left the Church--we had three widows in the back seat and me in the front. He had all the women he could handel He is such a good guy and a gentelman.

SATURDAY

Saturday again? I don't know about you but time is flying. One good thing about Saturday--my sweetie makes blueberry pancakes for us. I am still counting out bluberries each Saturday from ones from the freezer. They came from our two blueberry bushes. They have bloomed a lot and have little new berries on them. Good crop if we can keep the birds from eating them. We have to get up early in the morning each day and pick ripe ones or we would just be feeding the birds. I did go to WalMart yesterday, but all I got was a sore back and tons of stuff which I had to first put it in the cart, then the car, out of car and in its place at home. I need a backrub. Maybe I will get that to.

THOUGHTS CREATE EMOTIONS

So think good things and you can have your emotions under control? I doubt it sometime. I am most of the time under control. What a beautiful day. Things will surely go right. I am going to Wal-Mart today- maybe I will find an adventure there. All you have to do is look around. We will see what comes my way.

BETTER TODAY

Went to Mynell Gardens yesterday with Candy and Amy. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Nice little stroll. We ate lunch at the new Auditorum. That is is Fondren in the new Duling school complex. It was sooooo good. Thanks Sophie for showing the vidio --I can not get it to play all the way , it stops and then picks up I do not know what I am doing wrong. Even Amy hat trouble playing the one they sent me on my DVD. Help --we need you.

REST AND BE RENEWED

And I need to be renewed. Saw Canada geese on the Lake yesterday. We have been seeing 3--now four. I think Junior finally go a mate because we saw 4. Mom and Day say at last. I have been on a whirlwind latley. You young would laugh because that is a way of life for you. That is a good thing. We were really pumped up about Truman's interview on WLBT Monday. Hope you see it on WLBT's web site. wlbt.com go to news scroll down to VETERANS HISTORY PROJECT and view his written and vidio interview. Pretty cool? Let us hear from that because they also sent us a copy to play on TV.
I am going to Brent"s Drugs and coffee shop for lunch today with Candy and Amy. Shall I have the egg-olive sandwich? I think so--will tell you about it tomorrow. SWEETLTLY BE BETTY BOOP

I AM BACK

Please forgive me but I have been way too busy. I need to slow up and catch up. It has been a good week. Holy Week at church. Something every day and I did not want to miss any of it. Family here for lunch on Easter day was great. We missed a few members but we have been so blessed over the years to have had so many good times together with us all that I am not complaning at all. You know I always say create memories and they will always be with you.

SWEETLY BE!!!!

APRIL FOOL

THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE, LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT. Psalms 118: 24

The sun is going to shine all day (so the weather man said). We will see. Amy and I plan to do something today. One of the things is to finally buy the paint to paint the bed in the "girl" room. Brown Amy said I trust her. Under that bed is a lot of stuff. Pictures to hang, and my colection of paper doll. Shirley Temple and the Dione Quints. I do not know what else. Dust bunnies for sure. My granddaughters did not care a lot for paper dolls. They played with them to please me. I played with paper dolls till I was 14 years old. Those were in the olden days when things were simple. I loved to fashion clothes for them. Maybe I missed my calling.----Maybe not. I know you are all glued to the set to watch DANCING WITH THE STARS!!!!. O. K. I forgive you.
