Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my 59th birthday.  While I celebrate today, I have made a decision to make this next year one of health and wellness.  Counting down 60 lbs by 60!  Follow my journey and join me in celebrating each and every milestone, be it ever so small or EX LARGE!  I'm excited to share it with you!


COUNT DOWN BEGINS...

 

FIRST UP - SUGAR IS NOT MY FRIEND!

Buffalo

Didn't take us long to see the Buffalo in Wright. Just off the park, the herd comes down over the hills and what a sight! Even a stray antelope joined in the evening trek. It's the craziest thing, the antelope roam the streets, parking lots and lawns throughout the town. With babies in tow, they aren't the least bit skid-ish!

Wright, WY was just right!

Day 10 led us to Wright, WY where the buffalo and antelope roam. High school friend, Janie lives in Wright and greeted us with open arms. Lots of reminiscing and laughter and the party has started! It's so great how you can pick up with friends as if time and distance just don't matter. Love it! Marie and Janie made a connection too, as Jane is interested in Sisters on the Fly. An over night in a cute little country park and we'll be off to Belle in the morning. South Dakota here we come!!!

Jalapeño Margarita in Idaho!!!

It's a new one for me and 72er. Just a little arm twisting and I was in for trying it. So good and hot hot hot!! Thanks Jeff and Sarah for such a fun time!

Day 8 and it's Utah all the way!

I think Idaho makes a joke of itself. Look at the pictures from our stop at Dino gas station haha!! So far, we have traveled 823 miles from Oregon and we'll be in Salt Lake for a couple of days. Took awhile to get here...lots of wind and traffic. Even Miss Birdie and 72er are glad to get here
Marie is doing a great job of driving and we're set up for another few days. Margaritas/chips and salsa for tonight. Too tired to fix a real meal. Going to SendOutCards Corporate in the morning. Can't wait! Picking up sister Charlene at the airport tomorrow. Yippee!

Day 7 in Idaho

I'm really liking Boise. Lunch with Marie's cousins, Sara and Caitlin and mil Betty at a cute place called Kneads. Can you guess what their specialty is? Oh so good.
Then on to Big Daddy's Wheels filled with '50's memorabilia What a fun place! I kept thinking that my hubs Dave would have enjoyed it too. Betty and Steve have been collecting for a long time, highlighting their family history. We shared SendOutCards with a couple of leads today. Excited! Topped the night off with great stories and laughter and a few adult beverages Boise style. :-). Thanks for the hospitality Sara and Jeff!

Day 5 Already!

Wow! What a drive to Idaho! Miles and miles of beauty but NO cars or people till Burns. Not sure what I expected but when they call this Eastern Oregon, I now get it! So different from the Willamette Valley. Arrived at Marie's cousin's house in Meridian. Nice to park our little bed house on wheels for a few days. Meeting up with SendOutCard prospects tomorrow. Can't wait to share. ps..it's sunny and a mere 75• here.
