You would love Fayetteville. We are close to the white and Buffalo rivers. We are twenty minutes away from Devil's Den http://www.arkansasstateparks.com/devilsden/ and that's some really nice hiking. We have lakes and rivers and tons and tons of little artsy communities. You would love Terra Studios....http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WME09P_Terra_Studios_Blue bird_of_Happiness_Factory_Durham_AR
We are not far from Branson and Silver Dollar City. Tulsa is three hours away and LR about three hours. We are a little over 3 hours from Hot Springs...it's a really nice, liberal community
Linda, you are so right, most of the time I feel younger than my calendar years, but two solid days of a nine month old and I think I will need a week to recover lol!
My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Trish, sorry about your bursitis. I know that is painful. What really sucks is that the less you move it the worse it gets but moving it hurts too. I am due my shot in my knee but I am holding off until just before I go to Wyoming for the summer. Getting a house ready for a realtor can be overwhelming. I will be doing that in the fall. Not looking forward to it.
I will have to be focused this week on my food plan since I am on the road. Not always easy. I'll do my best.
Laureen, if we ever forget how old we are all it takes is a couple of days with the grands to remind us. Sounds like you had a productive weekend and your food choices for today are good. I am on the road all this week so I have to be careful. Even good choices contain hidden stuff. Fat or sugar is always there lurking. Good luck with staying on course this week.
Jeannie.....I stopped at the Arkansas welcome center and pick up a book on Fayetteville and another on NW Arkansas. I must say I think John would love your city. I like all the things to do but it seems a little large for me. Do you know anything about Huntsville. Its about 30 miles east of Fayetteville. When you say you are going down the mountain where are you going? Do you live in Fayetteville or in the mountains? What are your winters like? I also like that you are only 66 miles from Branson.
Quick drive by here. Been AWOL, with preparing for house inspection by realtor, and family stuff.
Exercise has sucked, coz walking is painful from bursitis in hip. Hopefully I will get a shot tomorrow.
Food has been so-so. Still getting into sugar, just not bingeing on it. I am having greek yogurt with granola for breakfast each morning. Very satisfying.
Hugs,
Trish

I have not climbed it but it looks easy and there are easy, modertate, and hard trails....
Hi Linda, those to come. . .
Busy weekend with the littlest of my grandchildren, who just lights up my life. . . parents are moved into their new home, I ate what I could, nothing like I would normally, but little time for eating when trying to entertain an almost nine month old, who is teething, doesn't like to nap and with the weekend, almost entirely rainy and cold. . . today my back aches and I have lots to do, so trying to compensate for the weekend with my food choices, cottage cheese and small russian bagel for breakfast, strawberries and l/f cheese for snack, lots of water in between, thai shrimp soup for lunch, applesauce for snack and dinner is not figured out yet.
Have a great day!

I just may have to look in your area. Would a fiscal conservative and social libertarian fit in in your area? Lol . That best describes me politically.
About pinnacle Mt. I was asking about the climb. Have you climbed it. Do you know how challenging it is?
Hello Ladies,
I am rushing like a crazy person, trying to get the last of my 2015-16 academic year stuff done.
Today's breakfast was an egg and DH and I have decided we are giving up eggs. We both have lost our taste for them and they just sit in my pouch and make me miserable...I'll still cook with them but no more for breakfast.
Lunch is a veggie patty, fried squash and okra. I forgot my snack.
Dinner is beans that are cooking in the crock pot.
That's it for me. Ladies, do Monday proud.
