Perfect….look at the detail! Thanks Jan!

But have you seen the condo from the mountain top?

We spent the day on Mt Pisgah and could see our condo through our binoculars…..

It was really  neat! (our condo is in the center of this cropped photo!

My other news is health related! (and so I am including a photo of ME on Mt Pisgah ready to do a little hiking!) I decided to change my diet….add more healthy veggies and cut my carbs and sugar intake….and I’ve lost 10 pounds (in three weeks) ! YAY for me! I have also exercised every day! So that has made me feel better (along with my clothes! lol) I did not , as so many diet ads say…..lose 10 pounds and 5 dress sizes! heehee! But my clothes feel loose again and I have more energy so I am very happy with the difference!

DSCN7979

Any encouraging words would be welcome! It’s not easy losing weight at my age! lol Hope you have a marvelous Monday! I look forward to visiting you!

I’ll be right back….after my walk! Can you come?  Hot
