today the weather was nice and sunny 76, after cleaning out the garage, I went for a walk in a loop that takes you from our end of the street down to the other end.
The view coming up the hill before you turn onto our street.on the bike path behind our house, is a little oerlook with a bench. It's where I got married.another pic from the over look.the 17th green.

*************PUBLIC POST************* (probably sure to bring out the haters)
I read this in my Sunday paper and I thought it was a very nice homage to an exiting President (instead of the last minute vitriol that we have been seeing, seriously, why is that neccessary? The guy is out, you honestly have to get one last sucker punch in? I've never been more stunned by how hateful people can be than during the last 8 years, but I digress...)

LAST summer, Lisa Clark, a management consultant from Los Angeles, spent about three weeks in Europe, touring Scotland by car, spending a weekend in Paris and biking in Tuscany. Though it wasn’t cheap (France and Italy cost roughly $4,300 alone) Ms. Clark made it work by using frequent flier miles to get there and by buying packaged tours to keep her expenses contained.

Ewan McGregor has wielded a light saber, dived into a toilet, serenaded Nicole Kidman, and repeatedly gone full-frontal on the big screen. He also made the jump to reality TV in 2004. Fortunately, it wasn’t on Dancing with the Stars (although I might actually watch the show if he was a contestant).

Before you beat yourself up about how you've only once visited the swanky gym you joined last year, think about whether you enjoy the exercise that you do there.

We spend everyday at work so why not make it Eco-friendly as well. First start at your cubicle. Then who knows the whole building might follow your steps to working at a much greener place.

As requested I thought I'd post some great exercises for tight buns! *Here you go BeachBarbie!!*
1) Squats
There are many different types of squats, including the Chair Squat pictured here. Stand with feet hip-width apart and squat, keeping back straight, abs in and knees behind your toes.
