CK Girl

I tremble at the thought of saying goodbye

I keep each memory close to the heart

As each tear dampens my cheeks

As the time draws near to say our final goodbyes

You have been a treasured friend

I tremble at the thought 

The  needle that will take you to rainbow bridge

Each dampened tear streak smudge

A tear and picture of you

A memory to treasure

As I keep the days and years we shared 

Held tightly to my heart

As we wandered this journey of life together

My companion and friend

CK

I love you

You will be missed

Thank you for the love and friendship shared

~Beth~

She is still with us at this time. She is very weak and will be gone by the end of the month. We hold each day close as it draws near to say goodbye. Tears come in waves and I am taking many pictures. She has been my companion and friend for nearly fifteen years. Thank you for your love and support as we get ready to say goodbye to a treasured friend.

Rio Linda California Little League Baseball

Found this in my drafts. I took this picture at the ball field where my third grandson plays ball. I was trying to use my phone to post up blogs. But wasn't having much luck at it. I think that is how I messed up my blog page. Now I cannot seem to get it straightened out at all. I am using Google Chrome as when Google did there change over it was the only way I could even post at all. So I'm not sure what is going on NOW! Oh well I'm sure it will straighten it self out. Or I will find away to make it all work and look nice again; maybe even better than before.

Nickolas Rio Linda Ball Park April 2012

So this is my Nickolaus and he is quite the ball player they won their game that night. I don't recall the score. I'm telling you these guys play their hearts out. I feel so blessed that I was able to watch all of the grands play ball. I made it to at least one game for each of them. A few got a few more watched than others. But it all worked out. Sunshine and baseball; what is better than that? Love the boys of Summer and the girls in my case!

Do you love to watch or play baseball?

Accountability ~ With Gym and Workouts

So today was my first day back to the gym since I left on my trip to visit all the grands. I must say that was a full time workout everyday. Especially since I spent most of my time at the ball park chasing after one game after the other. Three diamonds with grands on them. Plus there where two other fields I couldn't even get too as they where at two different parks. So I did get my work out that way in Sacramento not to mention chasing after little ones. I can say I'm not as young as I use to be. Glad I'm not raising little ones at this age. OH MY! I cannot believe I'm actually going to state this but it actually felt good to get back in the gym today. Had to work off all that Cold Cream Ice Cream that I had with the grandchildren not to mention all the other goodies as well.

It was great to see my encouraging work out partner's as well. I got there a bit early. But that was good. As I needed to do a bit longer work out. I did 150 sit-ups with 25 pounds of weight. I actually thought I had set it with 30 but I guess I didn't. Then I did fifteen minutes on the NuStep and an hour on the Tread Mill. A GOOD DAYS WORK OUT!  I was hoping I might get to go tomorrow not sure though. I have a full schedule this week. Next week as well. I need to write in time for the gym to maintain my goals and activity for the gym. But I sure did get the old heart a pumping today especially since I didn't have the little ones to get it pumping early everyday like when I was in Sacramento. There is a reason we have children young. They had me running and heart pumping early everyday. Great to be back on my routine.

Do you maintain your routine's well on vacation and find places to work out or do the things you would when you are at home?

Your generous hospitality

Is just what I need

You wash the blues away

The smile that shines

Brings a just and generous smile to me

Why should we be penalized 

For the friendship of hope

That brings such joy

Penalize those who bring the brow to a frown

As you turn our frown to a smile 

That shines within

The open heart of generosity

Is the gift from above

It is the just light that shines within

Each and everyone of us

That welcomes Him in our hearts

This just and generous hospitality

That washes the blues away
