Start the week off right!

Ten things never said on the Ark

10. Did anyone think about bring a couple of umbrellas?
9. Hey, there are more than two flies on here.
8. Wasn't someone supposed to put two shovels on board?
7. O.K., who's the wise guy who brought two misquitos on board?
6. Help! I need some Pepto for the elephants - QUICK!
5. And whatever you do, DO NOT PULL this plug out...
4. No, Ham, you cannot eat the pig.
3. Do not make me pull this ark over and come back there.
2. Nice doggie..
1. Are we there yet?

PACE exercise class

There were about 14 of us this morning at the PACE exercise class. Lighting is not very good where we set up our chairs. Either a glare or no light at all. (that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it). The exercises are geared towards people witn arthritis - you can sit down or stand if you are able. About 40 minutes into the class (it is an hour long), we do some crazy dancing and playing with balls of all shapes and sizes.

The lady to the left is Ellie, she is our leader, to her left is Jessie, he uses a walker, and to his left is Shereen, she is in a wheel chair. Everyone does what they can - in between we laugh a lot.

Easter Sunday

A beautiful warm summer-like day in Southern California. Talked to four out of five of my children - that was nice. Had Dinner and Brian and Annette's - her yummy stir fry with rice noodles - I could eat a gallon.

Friends

Blessed are they who have the gift of

making friends, for it is one of God's best gifts.

It involves many things, but above all, the power

of going out of one's self, and appreciating

whatever is noble and loving in another.

Association Board

Our Board

St. Patrick's Day and new sofa

Today we had our St. Patrick's Day luncheon at the clubhouse. Pictured behind the serving table is the Association board.

The sofa is one my son and daughter in law gave me. The one I had was here when I moved in.

Friends

The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing

is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away.

craft class

The lady closest to the camera is the leader of the craft class. She made her hat ahead of time so that she could help everyone with their's. The other gal's hat is navy and white polka dots - very cute.

Easter Decorations 2008

I have bunny rabbits all over the place - candles, decorations, you name it! Still working on my picture taking technique - obviously, I haven't much of one - technique, that is. I think I don't get close enough to my subject - will keep working on it.

Spring forward!

Oh, the delight of going on Daylight Savings!! Will be sleepy for a week - oh, how I miss that one hour - where in the heck is it?

Stay tuned, I hope to take more pictures this week.

Ms. Tara's latest picture march 6, 2008

For some reason, the picture I uploaded last evening doesn't appear on here. I will try again.

The adventures of Ms. Tara

I will be reporting on the adventures of Ms. Tara on a more or less regular basis. Although I raised five children, who just by chance, grew up to be fabulous adults - I am not having the same good luck with a 12# pooch.

My children were not over weight - I made sure they ate healthy foods and got plenty of exercise - not so, the delightful Ms. Tara - she is plump, lazy and enjoys a treat on an hourly basis.

Am I so desperate for her lavish attention that I give in to her every whim?

YOU BET!

March 2008 - Initial Posting

Greetings family and friends. I'm new to this, so bear with me as I attempt to set up a blog for myself and the head of my household, Ms. Tara.

The first thing I will attempt to do is post a picture of my bed mate. This is an old picture. I will get a new one posted (if possible) asap.
