well, another week. we're having chilly weather. our nephew is getting married this weekend and i keep telling the girls they're going to freeze. our niece bought this little dress with the spaghetti straps. it's april and Iowa, i've seen snow in iowa in april. oh well. they mostly think i'm just an old fuddy duddy anyway. we bought bicycles this last weekend. i haven't been on a bike since i had a stingray and the banana seat. that ought to date me. i've never had a bike with any gears on it. so this is new to me. they had to cut the seat down so i could fit on it. but we went around the neighborhood last night. it was really windy. i'm just glad we're not doing hills yet. my knees are sore a little but about the same as when i'm on the treadmill or the stationary bike. like i told bruce i wanted one for exercise, that doesn't necessarily mean we're doing RAGBRAI anytime soon. i saw on the news there's another blizzard in south dakota. mike and kylie are driving from texas to south dakota soon. i sent 2 packages to them last week. they should hopefully be there by now. one had a Bible in it that i gave grandma and grandpa for their 50th wedding anniversary. i somehow got it back and i wanted mike and kylie to have it. they're the next generation of Mathews and they can keep it and pass it on to their grandkids. mike doesn't have very much of anything of grandma or grandpa's. i'm heading to sam's in a little bit. i have a few things on a list. we leave for wisconsin next week for a convention in the dells. then the week after we leave for minneapolis for another convention, then we'll be done for a while. i ordered a new set of pans yesterday. i figured, we take the cooking kit with us and i'm always taking some of my pans, so i ordered a new set for the house then can take the older set with us when we travel. we stay where we can cook and it helps me stay on track with ww. when i get a chance, i'll post a picture of the new bride and groom. his name is stephen and her name is naren. she has a little girl from a previous marriage and her name is jordan. she's 6 i think. i love taking pictures and some ctually turn out good so i asked naren if she'd be offended if i brought our good canon digital and took some pictures and she said not a problem so i'm getting the battery charged up and going to take that. i have a pair of black dress pants and a plum almost sheer top with a plum jacket over it and i have a black shell for underneath. the good news is the black dress pants are a size 8. i've been stuck with my weight for a while, i go to like 125 and then like yesterday i was 123. i want to get down to 120. so my ww gal told me to talk to my doctor and see what she said so i have an appointment with my doc the 13th of april and will talk to her then. i better go before i write a book.
