Play Misty for Me

As the heat index rises to 110 today in Minneapolis
and the air condition is humming a tired tune
I remind myself of the one pleasure of mine
that would refresh and rejuevenate me.

I share these in hopes that it might bring
a visual and delightful thought on this
July 4th...

 FREEDOM to REFRESH
Happy 4th of July

I have stood under this very one
Totally Refreshing and invigorating...

O" Canada

July 1 brings the celebration of Canada Day.
As I reflect, I am nothing but grateful for the years that I lived in Canada
There are many things to share
There are so many firsts..So many moments of Pride
My first years as a true Athletic Supporter..

My first time being a Mom

and stopping, Thank God. after having
4 truly Canadian Kids

First trips to Jasper and Lake Louise
The beauty that is amazingly majestic as you enter the Parks

Family Camping at Pine Bungelows,
Don't go out in the woods alone

First time meeting Friends that I will have for ever-
All truly Canadian

As an American
I grew to love Canada as my own Country
It Mountains became blankets of Love

Its culture became a lifestyle and it became home.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA
THANK YOU
Your Beauty is forever engrained in my heart...

Sisterhood of Spanx

It is the season of Celebrations

Graduations,Christenings,Weddings 

All take planning, preparation and pulling it off-
So to speak...

Which comes to the very important decision I have to make

What to wear..

I pick my dress
I pick my shoes 

and then I, like you, have to decide

Spanx or no Spanx

Like many of you, I take the "Plunge"

As I squirm,squeeze and sweat
I know I have a sisterhood out there
who have just wondered the same thing..

Do your Spanx hang low
Do they stop the wiggle to and fro
Do you strap them to your bra
or throw them over your shoulder
Can you stuff in the lumps and still jump
Do your Spanx hang low!!

To those men still reading..YOUR WELCOME
