First I want to say welcome to Julie who I see as a follower of this blog. Also, a big hug to both Barb and Margie.
Yesterday was a great day for anyone enjoying good food but not so good for someone, like me, who needs to lose those pounds. It was my monthly lunch date with my Mom. We went along with other Grange members to Olive Garden. I had the soup, salad and breadstick lunch. I made the best choice with minestrone soup. However, I told myself ONE breadstick. Okay so I had two.
Then last night we went to dinner with friends Bobbie and John. We went to a lovely Italian Restaurant that is participating this week in a special Seafood Fest with other upscale restaurants. One (expensive) price for 4 courses from a limited menu. My selections - first course - fried calamali and shrimp with side of Mariana sauce. Second course - risotto with braised sea scallops. Third course - flounder in a light croisant shell stuffed with shrimp and a rich crab sauce served with a huge bowl of Roasted Red skin potatoes, broccoli, zucchini and carrots. Fourth course - lemon sorbet. And wine provided by our friends. Oh my! WORTH EVERY PENNY!
All of this after my doctor telling me I needed to lose weight and I took her word for it. I had an appointment just Wednesday and had lost 4 pounds in 1 1/2 weeks. Back to the drawing board.
I am in the process of organizing photo albums, some to store in our cargo trailer and one for each of our children. Many photos will be heaved. Just how many pics of same scenery and different poses do I need anyway. I will be so glad when this project is complete. I had no idea how much all these pictures added to the weight in our Fifthwheel.
Until next time.

Lunch with Mom....that's a good thing as Martha Stewart would say. My thinking is, if you're going to blow it and eat something "not on your program", at least get something you enjoy. You did at the seafood restaurant and that is the best part.
Making the photo albums for your kids is a nice touch. They can have some of your prized photos in an organized album. Due to space limitations I never take scenery or vacation photos anymore, unless they are just to put on my blog. The albums get heavy and we never look at the ones we have anyway. Of course, you can always add them to a Picassa online album or a CD, but we don't do that either. :)
Have a great weekend!
