Father's Day 2018
What a beautifully relaxing day today. I slept in for a change, enjoyed some coffee then struck out for the gym and had a fabulous cardio workout. It was very much needed. Since closing my studio a month ago, I've managed to gain 4 lbs. I'm not a vain person at all, but with the history of diabetes and heart disease in my family, I do try and keep on top of my health. It is quite easy for 4 lbs to turn in to 10 rather quickly.
Laundry and grocery shopping were on the agenda today. Oh, and I watched a movie (thriller), Shut In, with Naomi Watts. It was quite good and held me spellbound between trips downstairs to the laundry room.
As you can guess, we don't have children so there was no Father's Day celebration in our home. But that didn't stop me from remembering my own father. He's forever in my heart and on my mind. I feel his presence with me each and every moment of my life. I'm forever grateful for my parents and the presence they had - still have - in my life. I miss them terribly.
It is hard to believe that we're already past the middle of June. Someone had the audacity to state that there's only 6 months to Christmas! Shut Your Mouth! Summer is so fleeting as it is without being reminded that we're already 1/2 way through year. I, for one, am going to cram as much in to the summer as possible. I've said it before, but I'll reiterate: Sun, books, wine, and plenty of family and friends.
I've been doing well with riding my bike and even put my 500 mile goal up on the board at the gym....if it's in writing, it's going to happen.
I sound like a broken record....gym, bike, gym, bike LOL I DO have a life outside of the gym and riding bike. I think. :) Serious, I do. Last night we went out to supper with my sister and her beau, which ended up at our house for more drinks and conversation. Peggy is going to have a busy month ahead of her as her oldest daughter is moving back to MN and starts her new position at the U of Minnesota as Hematologist/Oncologist. Peggy turns 70 in July as well. So there is a "meet and greet" for the family to meet little Miss Iris Grace (my new great niece) and to also celebrate Peggy's birthday. It should be an amazing time. But...before then, it's the Stutsman County Fair in two weeks. I'm So excited! I've written about the Fair on my blog before. I'm just like a little kid....I can't wait! I'm already planning which activities I'm going to enjoy with friends, Blaine (Johnny Holm Band - a Fair Icon) and with T. Stay tuned, cuz I'm sure there will be more on this to come.
Since my last post was about music and I shared a song that I liked, I'm going to continue the theme and share another song that I heard on my fav. station, Mix93.3 (Jamestown). I love new music and this one absolutely reached out and grabbed me. Enjoy

Yup summer's here. Hot weather too but I much prefer it to cold Canadian winters.
Like yourself, I've been enjoying this past week and weekend where we celebrated Father's Day with an annual big bbq hosted by our daughter and her hubby. Lots of dads (with their families) present - lots of bbq steaks, fish, chicken, salads, fruits, veggies, desserts. I look forward to it every year, plus it leads into our wedding anniversary (so I don't forget that important date ! - lol).
Enjoy your summer Sherry as will I. I just checked out your station Mix93.3 and bookmarked it. Lively music sounds. Have a good one ...
