Yoga...Awesome!!!

Yoga...tonight I went to my first (well it's my 2nd) yoga class. And it was AWESOME!!! That is all I can say. The hubby and I work out at a local gym and recently I noticed that they had a yoga class coming up, I decided to try it out. Being a bit nervous going into it, I soon was welcomed and felt right at home. Kim, our instructor, was this very thin, very soft spoken, beautiful, 30 something woman. There were only four of us in the class, that was very nice. Kim started us off with sitting up very straight and breathing and clearing out minds. Boy did I need that. After a day at work and fighting traffic, clearing my mind was perfect. The moves were difficult at times, my body has not stretched like that in years. I did enjoy it very much and will be back next Monday. I just hope that in the morning I can get out of bed!

Men and Their Toys

Today I went out to the airfield to watch my hubby and his buddies fly remote control airplanes.  It was a wonderful weather day today and it was perfect. I arrived to see my hubby sitting on the ground working on his airplane, he looked just like a little boy. As I sat there I looked around and saw about 10 "boys" working on their  toy airplanes. I chuckled to myself. :) Each time you fly there is a "spotter" and the picture I chose for today is of hubby and his good friend the spotter. This friend (if I didn't know better) is his brother. These two men are as they say "Brothers from another Mother".  Hubby and his friend do the same things at the same time, they say the same things and they act the same way. Hubby's friends wife (J), well J and I have become really great friends and she and I always talk about how much these two two men are alike. It's really good that hubby has someone like this to pal around with, to talk with and to just hang with.  Thanks J and hubby for being such good friends to hubby and I. We love you both!

The Beach

Yesterday I took daughter #2 and her friend to the beach. I absolutely love the beach. The waves crashing up on the sand, the sand between your toes, the view...oh the view. It was a perfect day for the beach. We sat, I walked, we talked, we listened and we baked (don't tell my dermatologist that part).  It was the best. We only stayed about 3 hours and then it was time to leave. My all time wish is the live "on the beach". Yes, each day awake to the ocean, each night fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean. Ahhhhhh...what a dream!

Baskets, Baskets and More Baskets...

Yesterday I took pictures of 147 baskets for our annual basket convention. Each year my basket guild has an annual convention and this is the weekend we jury the baskets. So yesterday was my day to take all the pictures. It is always so wonderful to see all the new creations and see from which teachers we receive baskets. We received baskets from 27 basket teachers. What an awesome job I have to take the pictures. I have been taking the pictures for about the last 5 years or so and each year I get just as excited.  Opening the first box is just as exciting as opening the last box. These teachers are such artists and they take the time to put a proposal together, to package up their creations and send them off to us. We handle them with care and we do handle each and every one. We love to touch, smell and look at each and every one. So what a great day yesterday was and I am loving looking at the beautiful pictures I have taken!!!
