Back from Alaska - Jack and I took a 7 day cruise to Alaska. It was such a beautiful place but I have to say tempting foods are a real challenge for me. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should....

The Party Is Over - I am sitting here waiting to have my fill. Thoughts are swirling in my mind. Mostly, I have needed this for a while. Will my surgeon agree? It has been over a year since I have see...
