beautiful Spring!

Hi! Have been on two beautiful nature walks! One was to Little Red, and the other to an undisclosed location. It was a long hike, but picturesque. Something I will remember for the rest of my days.

On to the passive part of my life. I have been knitting lots of baby sweaters for my charity. I have a pattern that I use all the time, and they knit up really quick. Probably a few days for sweater. I feel pleased with this.

We went to Edmonton and had a great time there. My dh never has a good time, but eventually he will. We went to the waterpark there at WEM which was worth the trip there. We went to the Olde Spaghetti Factory for supper, and had the chocolate mousse royale ice cream. Flea markets. Went shopping and had a great time, but was glad to be home.

I lost 8 lbs before I went to Edmonton, and kept it off, so I am definitely doing something right, I think. Feels great, nonetheless. I have a long ways to go, but I have a new friend who is very supportive of me in my journey towards being a KOPS (Graduate of my program). I don't know what I will do for my friend who has been like a personal coach, and a mentor. Money? A quilt? both? A big supply of groceries when times are tough? Any suggestions from the crowd, would be a big help.

I am getting more ambitious with the housecleaning. I have been flittering about in the past month. Helps with that awful weight problem. Flitter means the same as flutter, but is used less often as a word, but I like it better. Laundry is always caught up now, and the beds are made, and the dishes always done. So, I am on a roll.

Well, I guess today I am getting on a letter to my friend on the West Coast. She is really cool, and likes the typewritten letter. So I will be doing that today.

Hugs to all, and drink your water. Gail
