Happy Mother's Day

We "did" Mother's Day, early.  During last week I talked to Carrie, in NC, and thanked her for the Mother's Day and Father's Day gifts she sent Bob and I.  Bob got a great T, with a bear on a bicycle.  Yes, we're that kind of family!  It's a different color, but this is what it looks like:

I, on the other hand received some great soap, and some tattoos.  Yes, Tattoos.
Like, this and this:

Then, yesterday, Bob and I drove to the OC, to have a Mother's Day lunch with Sharon and Oden.  I wanted a couple of photos.  Sharon and I were easy, one try:

Bob and Oden, not so easy, four tries and maybe a good one.  

To me, Bob looks great in all of them, Oden, not so much.  But, he's 13 and a great kid, you get what you get.

After lunch we went to El Dorado Park to take some quilty photos. Bob's my usual "quilt-model" but he's currently wearing a lovely velcro cast, due to a possible stress fracture and not up to it.  I'll be posting about the quilts on my quilting blog, later, but here are some of the funny photos.

This is two of the three quilts we took photos of;  The other quil produced no humor.

BTW, we have the best daughters.

A Catch Up

There hasn't been a whole lot that's exciting going on at the Prytz house.  Nothing exciting but we've been extremely busy. I remember my Dad telling me, when I was in my 40's, "I'm so busy, I don't know how I had time to work!"  That's about the size of it.

We've decided to go on a Transatlantic Cruise, next year, for our 50th anniversary.  Only 369 days, until departure.

Tomorrow, May 2, is our 49th.  We're "celebrating", and I use that term very loosely, by Bob having surgery to repair his torn meniscus in his right knee.  The arthroscopic surgery was scheduled mid April, but at the last minute, we were already at the surgery center, all systems GO,  when the anesthetist decided Bob needed to have the procedure in a regular hospital.  The surgery is at Loma Linda Hospital, Murrieta, tomorrow.

I still volunteer to teach Tai Chi twice a week in my community, and now once a month I attend the Parkinson's Support Group at the Murrieta Senior Center and lead some Tai Chi exercises.  At the last meeting one of the younger men asked if I'd ever thought of making a DVD of the exercises, and selling them.  I told him, truthfully, that I'd never thought of doing that.  After I got home I got to thinking, maybe I could post a video of the exercises on YouTube.  I'm in the planning stages of doing just that.  I hope I can pull it off.

I've started Water Aerobics, at our community pool.  The classes are three times a week.  It's pretty much kicking me in the butt!  I'm sticking with it, because I know how much good it will do me.  Before I worked at B&N, I went faithfully, that was more than 12 years ago.  I'm not a swimmer but this is something I can do for myself.

The photos are from my last visit to the San Diego Zoo, mid April.  We go to San Diego 2 or 3 times a month.  Twice a month Bob gets infusions, which can take 2 to 5 hours, so I frequently go to the zoo.  You can tell it's Spring, the peacock is really strutting his stuff.  I threw in the rear view, just for fun.

World Book Night

Tonight's the night.  I'm very excited.  This will be my second year being a "giver"  Woo Hoo!  My book is Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh.  It's a great book, you should read it, if you haven't.

Happiness is….. a baby chick on my head and a basket full of bunnies.

Here's a wonderful Easter Bunny!

52 List :: Games I like

My list of favorite games is pretty short.  We play Nickels and Mexican Train Dominoes every week.  We've played with the same groups for about 14 years.  Hope you're having a great week, we are.

Tomorrow we go to San Diego for one of Bob's infusion appointments, and on Saturday we're off to the OC, to see Oden play soccer.
