Memorial Day

Bitter Sweet.

Awesome 4 day weekend! and I 'm mean awesome.
But also really sad thinking about the people who are no longer here. Cleaned and decorated 6 graves!
On a brighter note.
I did numerous things to thank God for.
1. Cleaned (alot)
2. Gave Stevie my old sectional and bought a smaller couch that looks awweeeeesome!
3. Spent time with Stevie
4. Ran with Stacey
5. Ate seafood ALL weekend.
6. Had a great worship service at Grace Fellowship
7. Enjoyed my motorcycle
8. Started a new strength training call "Starting Strength" and I'm loving it.
For 6-12 weeks you follow a weight lifting program. During this time you DON'T do any workouts. I love this idea. I hope I can stick with it. Find the time and the spotters when I needed. I feel good (and strong) about it.



Phase II fixing lifting platform. Placed another treated and sealed piece of wood on the bottom and then finally glued down the stall mats. Worked on it till sundown..... :)
Came out real good. Very happy. It's "almost" level. Now I just need to chalk the sides.

Tell the World

Yeah.... I want to tell the world!

Yesterday.....
I, yes ME, went to the shed took out the weed wacker for the first time this season, put in the correct mix of oil and gas, and then proceeded to pull and pull and pull. If any of you have ever tried to start a weed wacker (or lawn mower) and it just doesn't want to start. I have had that problem at the beginning of every season. (at which time I would normally go back into the house and get Steve)

WELL, I, (Joy Marie) was persistent! After many attempts the beautiful, loud, sharp noise was music to my ears.

I am proud to say that my yard of obstacles is well groomed.

NOW can someone please show me how to fix the running toilet (of 3 months)!!
