My Ups and Downs I mentioned before that I went from a chubby baby, to a scronnie young girl to a chubby preteen. Looking back at being a teenager I did not fit the size 3 or 5 standard of my friends I was a whopping 13 or probably more like a 12-14 size. Which is what I am today, maybe if I didn't buy into the concept that I was a "fat cow" yes, someone that I love and respect called me that, maybe I would not have gotten into the yo yo dieting syndrome. I was a very active hard working girl, I grew up in a farm community and if I was not working at our family farm/nursery I was working for one of our neighboring farmers. I could tote berry crates, load a truck full of nursery stock, weed a field of onions, pick berries like a whirl wind, drive a tractor, wield a hoe and with all this activity I weighed around 150-160 lbs when I graduated from high school. I then attended Beauty College and kept my weight fairly the same. After starting into my career as a hairdresser...

May the fourth be with you, I heard this morning this is a StarWars day. I have never seen a StarWars movie, I kinda know a few of the characters Luke Skywalker (Harrison Ford) Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher). But I have never been too interested in science fiction movies. I kinda followed Star Trek as a young adult because it came in reruns and ran during the news and somedays I just did not want to watch the news. There is a song that Anne Murray came out with back in 1983 called A Little Good News Today, amazing how these lyrics still pertain to today news.

May 3, 2017 Why? That is what I'm asking myself right now. Why am I writing this blog, who am I writing this for? What do I hope to get out of this? Is this just a whim, does anyone really care about what I think and what I have to share? Well, I guess I am doing this for me, hopefully my kids and grandkids will read this and maybe know about me a little bit better. I have kicked around, and thought about doing this for awhile, it seems that I, at the age of 63 have decided I like to write, some friends have said I have a bit of a knack for it. Started out by posting some of my ramblings on FaceBook. My postings will probably be spastic, somedays I will not have anything to say and I won't bore anyone with posting just because. About me, I am a daughter, wife, mom, Oma (which is what my grandbabies call me), sister, aunt, hairdresser, office manager and friend. I am and can be many things to many ...
