Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - er, planes, automobiles, tow-trucks!!
I just got back from meeting little Carson. What a darling little bundle! He loves being held so I made sure to indulge him with that! I love holding them when they're under 7 pounds!! On Friday we took Bowdrie to the park so he could play outside - his favorite thing was the wheel! Oh well!
I flew up there, and then drove home with Mom and Dad. Well - most of the way home. It was 100 degrees out and despite all the coolant levels being perfect and the oil being perfect and the fan belt working - AND me turning off the air conditioning for all the hills, the little indicator went up to the red zone. Thankfully we'd cautiously pulled off to this rest area, so we sat there for a while and a nice towtruck driver came to drive us the 52 miles to my place in Yakima - in air conditioned comfort! All 4 of us, plus Lucy (the dog) crammed together -- this is the stuff memories are made of!!!
But yeah- what cute kids. Bowdrie is the busiest little kid, full of bumps and bruises. We had matching owies and bandaids, although he pulled his off after a few minutes! They moved his rocking/bouncy horse into his bedroom, so this morning when I went to wake him up I found an empty bed... and then turned and looked to where I heard this squeak and sure enough, he was out for an early morning ride, just as quiet as could be!! Good luck getting that one to nap! haha
Saturday I went kayaking on Whitefish Lake and down Whitefish River. It was nice to have some tranquil time :-) It came in handy with all the drama of today!

Cayman Brac Dive day 1

We all made it safely to the island called Cayman Brac for the Dive Frendzee takeover! I have been delighted with everything since arriving! It is blissfully remote and I feel quite content to never leave the resort compound to venture anywhere else.  It is like we are at the end of the world in a wonderful day!  The food...oh my the food! (I have officially turned in my Mom)!  It is all buffet but GOOD buffet!  Rolls, soups, multiple salads, cheese board, multiple hot side dishes, and then two or three entries, one always carved with a sauce.  Last night was ham. Oh, and dessert! 3 different choices last night: coconut flan, carrot cake, and chocolate walnut pie. This place offers Valet style diving, so in the morning, we were to have our gear outside our door in bags they provide, and they pick everything Iup and take it over to the dive boats and they set everything up! Valet diving, Princess diving, whatever you want to call it.... I am loving it! After that, it was time for b

30 day sugar challenge

Image
Ok, my goal is to restrict myself to 6 tsp or 25 grams of sugar per day as recommended by health organizations who study these things.  I haven't tracked my eating for a while but a I am sure I am way over that! I watched a movie called Sugar Coated and it had inspired me, as well as all my friends giving up things for Lent.  Since I have a marathon on Sunday, I will not be able to be quite as strict on race day but will give this a whirl. I started by going through my cupboards and was stunned by all the things that contained sugar!! My vitamins, calcium, taco seasoning... it feels like I am down to salt, pepper, oil, and dish soap!! I need to research whether that 25 grams is added sugar, separate from the naturally occurring sugar in fruits, or it that is all forms of sugar. That would be much harder!!
