So, here it is....

One of my favorite colors.

One of my favorite things to do.

One of my favorite types of exercise.

Especially, when we are finally seeing some sun.

Finally, in the last days of our stay.

Finally, over some "stuff".  

Nothing like some "stuff" coming up on vaca....ugh...

But, we are both well. 

JOG + WALK = JOALKing.

Got that code now.

So, anyways, after good 3 miles joalking this morning I found the pool.

More on why we are now at Scott's Moms later.  

Much later, or maybe not at all.  

Enough rambling.

OK, I found a good size pool to do some laps.

Boy, did that do my spirit good.  

And after the challenges we have come through the last few days.

We are well on the mends.  Just so you know, it was Scott not me. 

He just keeps getting better and better each day.

We will be on our way back home Saturday and believe me when I say we will both be glad to be back home.  We have some investigating and lots of follow-up with the docs back home.  

One day at a time, right.

Let's just say it's been an interesting "vaca" this year.

But, I'm still smiling and today was a great day and a nice way to spend our anniversary. 

That's it..... I'm out of here and will see you all when I get back home.  

Oh, no....Pedaling Hard to Earn

Oh, no....Pedaling Hard to Earn

Yes, it is worth it.

Yes, it was going to happen today.

No, I couldn't wait till I got home.

Look what I found this afternoon.  I just had to pick it up today.

I have followed and adored

my dear friend, KoraLee at

BLUEBIRD NOTES

for a long long time.  

She is one of my all time favorite photographers.  

Seriously, ALL TIME. 

But, this afternoon before picking this book up.

I needed to earn it.

I was pretty sure even the pictures were not on my diet game plan.

But, sometime you just have to do it.

Ride, ride, All day Ride,  out to the end of Honeymoon Island we did ride.  

Psssst..... {secret}

By the time we got back, the Honeymoon was over......

But, it was a great ride today.  

Once back to the beach homestead we journeyed out onto the beach.

I had my new good to browse in hand. 

Look there she is one the back cover.  

Is she just not the cutest. 

Oh, I can't tell you just how fabulous this book is.

You truly do need to pick it up.

I promise you that you have meet a few of Kora's friend once you look through the pages.  

Well, I have not tried one of these yummies yet.

I may be just looking at them on the pages for a while.  

It's going to take a few eni-meni-mine-mos before I pick one to try.

But the book will be a welcome addition to my cookbook collection when I get back home.   

So, head over to your Barnes and Noble.

Looks like I'm going to need to have a lot of good rides in the near future.

{p.s. Still haven't missed a day yet down here working out.}

Now, it's become a goal. 

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Can you believe it?

I didn't forget.

I was sooooooooo nervous I forgot how to crochet.

But, it came back to me right away. 

After spending a few days in some terribly 

NARLY weather.

I totally now, know what the surfers are talking about when they use the word

NARLY

There was no other way to describe the 48 hours of sea fog that rolled in here at the beach.

That was it.. I seriously needed something to do.

Besides, going and workout and then worry all day about eating something bad.

So off to Joann's I went.  

Of course, I had to do some other shopping too.

I needed to have some warm clothes.  

Well, I needed some new clothes......PERIOD. {smaller size, hip hip, hooray}

I just love this Nepalese Sweatshirt I found down at the Pass along the beach.

It's quite warm and goes with just about everything.

Plus, I can wear it to Jazz when I get back home.  

Any who?  I finally journeyed out to the pool today and jumped in.

I wouldn't call it a Polar Bear plunge, but it was close.  

 

But, I'm  excited  for the weekend to come and Scott to join me

He's promised to be that "Ray of Sunshine" that's been missing.

He really did say that to me on the phone the other night.  

Seriously,  "Ray of Sunshine".....well, I give us about 24 before we are back to the
BICKERSON norm. 

So, as I border this little around and around granny gem up. 

I thrilled that I was able to pick it right back up.

I can't wait to see what I want to start next.

I know it will be a slow process and there WILL NOT be any change in my working out. 

Which by the way, I would like to report that I'm 14 for 14 and have made it down to 

BEACH FRONT fitness every day.  The good news is that I've actually lost 2 lbs in the first two weeks of vaca.   Scott better not jinx me when he gets here and wants three squares a day.

I'll be ready to ride and jazz when I get back home.
