big girl pants, collections, Corelle, holiday, plates, purple, shopping, treats, widow

being as I’m on holiday, it seemed only fitting that I should get a few treats;-)…

yesterday I picked up this cute case to add to my iPhone case collection… I also got a clear one and will have to choose a few of my pictures to print and put in it…


I’ve been changing up my cases on a regular basis and for the last few weeks was using the one that holds a credit card… works great but will only hold one card and I really need to carry two… 

I also picked up some clothes… a warm hoodie, a long sleeve t-shirt and a pair of patterned pants…


my final treat was this morning when I found three cute plates…


I’ve been enjoying eating off different plates for the last while, and have been adding to my collection of fun dinner ware… only need one so it isn’t too expensive to add a few new ones… the two tree ones are Corelle which also means they can go into the dishwasher, and won’t break…

happy holidays… lots of treats;-)…

big girl pants, collections, family, Mazatlan Day 3, memories, shells, transportation, treasures, walk, widow

as I write this I have walked 14,830 steps… 

we started out the day with breakfast at the hotel… I asked for poached eggs which may not have been the wisest move because it took about twenty minutes for them to be made, lol… but they were cooked perfectly when I did get them… 

then we gathered up our stuff and took two Pulmonias to the start of the Malecon… 

we walked about 7 miles, in the sun, with lots of cold drinks and a break for lunch… we found various treasures for the boys to bring home and I was very happy to find some shells to add to my collection… 

the sweet man found all kinds of small shells for me once he knew I had been collecting them since I was a kid… we had moved on to the next stall where a woman was making bracelets for the boys when he came over with two more small treasures…

after the incredibly long walk in the heat we took an Aurigas back to the hotel…

open truck riding… the boys loved it…

some of us headed to the ocean to play in the waves and the others went to the pool… 

my daughter caught these wonderful moments…tons of fun… then we went upstairs for a rest, had dinner and took a late night walk down the beach…

another wonderful day filled with great memories…

care…

big girl pants, care, Christmas, collections, diabetes diagnosis, projects, treadmill

this morning started the day with a photo of a cross stitched picture I made around thirty years ago… it is so calming…

I have quite a few collections for Christmas, but only put out three Santa’s this year… all in the bathroom…

spent half an hour on the treadmill at lunch… hard to get a clear picture when you are walking, lol…

working hard to be sure I am taking care of myself…

the diabetes diagnosis has reminded me to look after myself and how important that is…

been doing some things that make me feel good – a Christmas project and a PowerPoint which I made for a gathering tonight, both of which have energized me…
