I saw a bumper sticker recently that said "You can't scare me - I have children".
and so it goes. I not only have children, I have grandchildren - scared yet?
What is really scary is to go to the YMCA here in Prescott. It has a very established clientele and over the years, I have come to know some of them and others to recognize by sight.
This YMCA has a coffee urn always brewing coffee and there is a group of people who gather a round the central table and discuss the latest happenings in Politics, antique cars, recent operations, among other earth shattering topics. When it comes to fitness, I wonder if they get into the gym at all or if they just sit and drink coffee and chat. I did notice one man from the group standing over in the Stretch Area (used by buff dudes flexing muscles in the mirror.........) and this man was holding a 3 pound weight in his right hand, and with his arm up in a right angle he was bending his fore arm up and down in a waving motion. Later on I saw him walking on the treadmill at a leisurely pace while holding a heated conversation with the man on the next treadmill. Imagine my surprise when I saw him in my Zumba Class - latest jazzy looking Zumba clothes to boot. He must have changed from gym wear to Zumba wear.
There is a sign up at the YMCA that says "Fit is the new SKINNY" - I guess if you can holdout for one hour in the Zumba class you get to be considered FIT and arrived at the new SKINNY.
We decided to go to the Beatles Show in town. There is a band called "Paper Back Writer" and they put on this show of Beatles music. As I looked around the theatre I saw that 98% of the people there were my age - yep, I've found my niche. So along with the rest of them, Bill and I and our friend Margo sang along with the band and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The first part of the concert the band members wore the classic Beatle Black suits and white shirts and ties. For the second part of the concert, they dressed up in the Sgt. Peppers outfits. A great time was had by all.
Here we are at the mission reunion. The other couple with us had served at the Joseph Smith Memorial in Sharon, Vermont. We served in Augusta, Maine. It was good to see that another senior couple showed up and kept us company.
August got new shoes. I really would like to have a picture of the rest of the boy, but I guess he sat still long enough to get the pictures of his shoes.
It was not a very bright sunny day, but I walked the Pea Vine Trail to catch this picture of the totally still water in the very full Watson Lake.
It will soon be garden time again. These are my grow boxes, ready to receive new potting soil and then have the veggies planted in them I cannot wait to have my own home grown tomatoes again. Below are the first flowers of the Nectarine tree blooming. I am hopeful that we will not get a freeze when the fruit is forming. Need to get at least one nectarine from this 15 year old tree that has not had one nectarine form on in yet.
