Movin' On

Well... nothing spectacular. Just got a new Wondermill. I've wanted one forever. I just couldn't bear the price. I finally brokedown and got one. The one in Dallas was toooo expensive, so I checked online and found the best price plus shipping and handling free!! Kelly will be proud. The first batch was not so admirable. (old yeast). BUT, with new yeast and Kelly's no fail recipe, I have two beautiful loaves. Go ahead, pat me on the back. It takes no time to mill the flour and so easy to clean up. I can now enjoy being a member of the elite Mormon Women Club.
My left heel was hurting a few weeks ago. I work in Nike shoes and figured the padding in the sole was worn out. Clyde and I went to Acadamy Sports store and I tried on shoes. I balked at the prices of tennis shoes. While trying on several pairs, Clyde brought me a pair of Skechers Shape-ups. There was no comparison in the fit and feel. In one day my heel quit hurting. I have about an inch added to my frame, which can't hurt. It took a day or two to get used to them. It forces a more heel to toe walk. They are suppose to improve my posture, strengthen my back, tone back and thigh and butt muscles, reduce joint pain and tighten abdominal muscles. NOW if it could make me RICH!
I complain there is no time to do stuff just for me. Well, Clyde gave me a whole day to myself just to go shopping for me. True, the 3 summer dresses I've been wearing to church the past 10 years have seen better days. So, I spent all day Saturday with a wad of money and JUST ME! I bought a white polka dot jacket with black dots and piping, manderin collar, it goes great with black sheath dress underneath) Blue dress ($22. markdown , not my favorite, but heck! it was $22.) and 4 blouses. and a pair of white church shoes. Do you have any idea how hard it is to fine white lady shoes? I didn't want high heels, sandles, or strappy skank shoes, so it took 10 stores in 4 hours. Thank goodness for my new Skechers. While walking at the Boardwalk Mall, I saw they had a new fun swim game . Where the fountians were the have a huge 6 inch plastic wall holding in water. In it are 4 bubbles with kids inside walking around. Bet the grandkids would love that.
Thanks to Aunt Billie and an influx of Genealogical imformation, I have finally learned how to use New FamilySearch. I figured out the color codes and it has been pretty easy. I took names with me to Dallas and Clyde didn't find out till we were at work with them that they were his family marriages. He was pleased. I have a whole new stack to take next time.
Worked with Clyde all most all day Saturday measuring houses. It is getting hot and I hate to see him out in that heat all summer. He tries to go only in the early morning, but by noon, it's hot. He is taking care to stay hydrated, and has bottled water in the car in a cooler. He also carrys a ziplock with wet bath cloths in that cooler to for his face and neck. Still,,, he is getting older (60th Thursday) and I worry.
