Quick Post

I was glad to host some of the Simmons family Saturday evening for dinner. Bob, Susan, Amy, and Chloe were such fun to have - and they brought yummy ciabatta bread and dipping stuff (olive oil with Parmesan cheese)! I know they had a long day but I was honored to have them in my home. Bob posted a couple of pix on his blog.

I went to Hastings Sunday night after worship. I had a vanilla chai latte and looked at books.

Wednesday was the Extension Homemakers Fall Council Meeting. We tried something different this time - and it worked great! We had more members at this meeting than at any other meeting since I've been here - 77! We had the meeting at Harding in the Founders Room, had some great speakers including our new FCS state leader who did a tai chi demonstration, and we had a great lunch. The best part? NO COOKING, CLEANING UP, OR SETTING UP TABLES AND CHAIRS!!!! And they were all HAPPY! Oh my joy.

We had supper club at Doc's tonight. It was fun and I think it was good to spend time together especially for Kimberly. I know she's had a rough few months. But I always leave feeling like something is missing. I don't know what - maybe I feel like I just don't fit in most of the time. Who knows?

I've struggled this week with headaches and just generally not feeling well. I know I should take better care of myself. On Tuesdays & Thursdays, I do get exercise but not enough. I need to eat better too. So tonight in my Strong Women - Healthy Hearts class, we talked about menu planning. I think I'm really going to try to plan menus better, and eat healthier. And exercise more..... I don't like this tummy thing I have. I've done better today about drinking water so I need to keep that up.

I'm going to Ashdown for the week-end. I'm excited to see Mom again and spend time with her at home. Hopefully, we can see Aunt Chris, maybe shop some, just enjoy the week-end.

Hope you have a good week-end!
