I Love Weekends

So, I got an early birthday present. A Fitbit. I had been looking at those little gadgets for a while wondering if I would find one useful and fun to have. I gotta tell you, I love it so far.

It's helping me make healthier choices that's for sure. In fact I've lost a few pounds in the short time I've had it already.

All except for one day this past week, I was able to get in at least 10,000 steps a day. But, even on the day I wasn't able to reach my goal, I still got in 6,668 steps. Not too bad I'd say.

Here's something I snapped on my walk today. You can tell we live in a windy country when they can't keep up replacing the flags in town. These are looking pretty sad already.

I've had enough of winter now. I'm ready for dry roads, sunshine and green grass. Can't wait to give my bike a tune up and head down the road. 

I'm the one who's supposed to plan the bike trip this year. I better get on that real quick if I want to make it happen.

Here's my Jody (love the smile on that girl) and my two granddaughters who live out in High River.

I wish I lived closer to my five grandchildren sometimes. They grow up so fast. I want to make sure I remain part of their lives as much as I can even though I am not always able to see them as often as I'd like.

Carys, the little artist. She looks like a midget on this giant chair.

And then there's Jesse the upcoming actress of all times. I hope she never loses her spunk.

The live dinner theater play last night was quite the production. Had a lot of good belly laughs which is always good for the ....well, for the whole person actually.

There's so much volunteer work that goes into something like that. Every single one of the actors and volunteers deserve a standing ovation as far as I'm concerned.

I'm back in the work seat tomorrow. Won't be much time for blogging or walking but I'll make it happen as much as I possibly can.

Walkabouts & Stuff

So, I didn't end up going to Red Deer, (a bit of a misunderstanding there) so I get to attend the local dinner theater play tomorrow night after all. I'm looking forward to that. It proved to be a wonderful and long entertaining evening last year.

Did a bit of an outside photo shoot today so I can put a new picture on my website and various other listings I have on the internet. The one with my long hair is a bit outdated. People are kind of surprised when they walk into my office for the first time. Best to have a more accurate image of who the're coming to see, or so I'm told by the marketing gurus anyway.

Went for a brisk walk on the river trail just behind my office at lunch time on Friday and a snapped a few pictures.

Snapped another one tonight when I tried to outrun my shadow on my evening stroll. I look like some kind of outer space giant with no arms.

Creative Expressions

It's been a busy day at the office and heading into another busy day tomorrow and Thursday.

Always grateful for the work. Funny though since the basis of my work really boils down to working myself out of a job.
