What's New for YOU-? Friday

Hi Julia and Friends.

Almost 8pm here and still playing catchup from being away from home at my "other home" for 3 weeks. Just posted some Briley and big sisters pics on my profile.

I'm interested in reading about the Quaker and Mennonites. I'll be doing some family research this fall and hope to stay with a Quaker family for a couple of days. As I study about them I realize that their beliefs of old are much how I feel today. There are different branches: some more traditional, some more modern, but I like the ones that don't claim to have any specific doctrine or even a preacher. I like the idea of quiet meditation. . . It does me a world of good when I listen to the quiet.  A very favorite little book of mine is called  PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

Had steamed veggies and fresh steamed cod for dinner. Yummy! Managed to not gain any weight while gone for 3 weeks and getting very little formal exercise. So hard to not "clean" the twins plates. I remember doing the same thing when Erin was little. That old hate to waste food mentality crept right back in.  Hot, hot, hot here. Went from little spring to summer over night. Over 100 degrees yesterday and today. Hot but dry so nothing like the 90s back east! Humidity just totally wipes me out. Back to the gym tomorrow but really early in the day!

Missing some friends from here specifically Ruth. . . anyone heard anything from her? Moosie, where are you? I hope out and about perhaps flying somewhere new! Gotta run. Have a great weekend everyone.
