Okay – got your attention, didn’t I?
😉

My alternative title would be “Comfort Zone”.

Each weekday – most weeks – I join Ladybug at the high school pool. She does a REAL workout – she’s in training for her first triathalon – she works really hard and even does FLIP TURNS!

Yeah, me either! In fact, I don’t even put my face in the water – too worried about those brain eating amoebas, I am, I am.

What I DO is kick laps using a kick board. And, sometimes I run on in the water. I watched a young woman running through the pool (IN the water) one day and thought that it looked like a great workout. So, I started to add some running laps to my kick board laps from time to time.

Now she trains on land (she’s a soccer player) but I have continued to play at this new (for me) sport. AND, there are two men who are also doing several laps every morning. We have our own little groups you see.

But, back to the “comfort zone” and “granny panties” of the title of this entry.
(more…)

shrinking woman!

look closely at these two pictures . . . count, if you will, the lines above the heads of the two women in the pictures. You would THINK that Ms. Thang would be smiling because . . .

she is (at least) one inch taller than her gramma!!!!!

sigh!

pictures taken at the Ohio Historical Society Museum in Columbus, Ohio. This is the museum which houses the mummy behind which said gramma received her first kiss (awwwwwwwww) when she was only 15 . . . from the hubbymoose, btw . . . who was also 15 at the time.

Again with the awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

but will you just LOOK at how short the moosie is getting! Sheesh! I used to be 5′ 41/2″ – somewhere along the line I lost an inch and she found it! Too bad all that height is going to my girth. lol

We had a great time – this despite the red devil eyes on Ms. Thang and her look of abject misery at (once again) being photographed by her doddering (short) gramma.

😉

hubby moose and I reinacted “the kiss” for her – at her request – so she could get a shot. Unfortunately (or maybe not) that picture is on HER camera.

and, about the angle of my head. Hubby mentioned that I might have been tilting it backwards and so it just seemed that I was an inch shorter. Awww, isn’t he sweet? Even if I had been tilting my head one way or another – the girl is STILL taller than I am. (much to my dismay) but thanks for trying, hubby.
