Trying a Different kind of Exercise

After watching the olympic trials over the last few weeks and seeing the wonderful shape all the swimmers were in,
I thought I'd give swimming another try.

Easy, right?

All you do is float along and kick your feet.

Wrong, I hate to get my face wet.

Instead of graceful butterfly stokes, I move across the pool like a long neck turtle with two angry flat fish after me.

A battle of aquatic life in motion.

Have a great day,

Celebrate the sun

With summer now in full bloom make sure to get out an enjoy the sunny days while they last.

A beautiful weekend behind us, I'm trying to get out and appreciate the weather we're having. With everything else we have going on, sometimes I don't step outside during the day. I look out the window to marvel at the lush green colors, but I have to force myself to stop a minute and go outside.

Remember to take time to enjoy nature. It'll brighten your day and help clear your head.

Family Tree

This past weekend, I was at a place near where my relatives are buried. My father curious to find his uncle grave, took us on a trip down memory lane.

I realize some people don't like graveyards but the history of our families lie in the stone carvings of resting places.

Gamers

I don't play RPG games but everyone else in my family does. Because of this, I sometime feel like a WOW widow, which I'm sure other wives
and mothers can relate too.

I don't mind them playing the game because it is an escape from the stress of the day, or a place to met friends.
We all have online friends. I have my yahoo groups, they have the RPG friends.

Take the quest test

I took it even though I don't play, kind of fun to see how social you'd be in another world.

Young Heroes

It's hard to face the challenges that we face every day. But when a tornado screams through your camp, I can see myself
huddled behind a tree shaking in my boots.

The boys in the Iowa boy scout camp, stepped up and used every thing they
had learned to not only save themselves but their friends and camp leaders.

Smart and courageous, these boys should be commended for the challenges they faced.
