~ Thank You Carol ~

Hi Friends! 

Happy Friday to you! Man am I glad it's Friday! It has been such a long dragging week. UGH!!! When I'm stuck in this office and the sun is shining outside it makes time stand still. lol. So Yay Friday!

Did Zumba at home last night with Jamie! Went well! I sweated like mad. That's good. Jumped on the scale this morning and it said 136. Woohoo! That's good. I've hit that 2 times now... so the question is can I hold onto it through the weekend???? Usually not... but I'm going to try! 

So what's on the agenda for this weekend? Not to much... 

Tomorrow morning bright and early going to Zumba class. Then Jamie and I are going to head out shopping. I'm not sure where we are going yet. Rolling acres is in Marion this weekend. And this is the first Springfield Antique Show weekend. North Shore Primitives is having their Spring Open house this weekend. And I want to take Jamie to the Flower Factory in Columbus at some point to look for wedding supplies. That's our options... we shall see where we land. 

Sunday we are going to jump on the Harley and hit the road if it's as nice as they say it's going to be. :) Yay! Riding!

I need to send a huge thank you out to the amazingly talented Carol at Buttermilk Creek Farm . 

We did a swap of sorts. She had mentioned she loved my pantry cakes so I sent her some as a RAK. Surprise Surprise she sneaked back a package to me. 

She heard from a little birdie I had a liking for all things pumpkin. Wink Wink. 

How beautiful are these?

Until next time...

Hi Friends,

Zumba was awesome last night! I bet we burned a 1000 calories in that hour! Woohoo! I can not lie… I am now obsessed with Zumba! Completely and totally. Love it!

After Zumba… we took our first ride of the year on the Harley. Wow. Beautiful night. I just can not believe the weather we have been having. We are planning on riding Sunday too and it’s supposed to be in the 70’s.
