Exercise Routine

Okay, so Jim and I have been trying to exercise regularly. We walk on our treadmill, ride our stationary bike and lift a few free weights. I recently bought what I call "the killer"! The killer is a exercise trampoline. It comes with a workout video and you definitely know you have exercised when you are done! After exercising, we play a little Wii - I enjoy bowling and tennis! When all the fun is over - it's time to relax in the whirlpool tub. Oh my gosh, it is amazing how great you feel when the workout and relaxtion is over!

Treadmill and stationary bike we take turns on. It helps when we exercise together - one can't let the other out-do them!

The Killer - you need to try one. You get a great workout in a short amount of time.


You have to add a few free weights to your routine.

Then we play a little Wii Sports together!

After all the hard work - I've got to have a relaxing soak in the tub, put on my comfy pj's and house shoes. Thank you Lord for all your wonderful blessings - family, health, love and happiness!

Martha's 60th Surprise Birthday Party!

Maria planted 60 flowers for the birthday girl.

Flowers were everywhere!

Waiting for the Birthday girl to arrive. Jim and I standing in Martha's field of flowers.

The party was at Mark and Deanna's house.

Here she comes - she was so surprised!
She was speechless. Of course she had to hug everyone.

Martha, Deanna's mom, Maria and Dusty.

She shed a tear or two or three.......

Then the singing and dancing began.

I gave up and handed Martha the hoola hoop. Twist it sister!

Malisha was the only one that could do it - must be those 21 year old hips!

Dance, dance, dance.

Volunteer

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

Some of the volunteer organizations Jim and I are involved in:

It is such a blessing to have the opportunity to help others - you always get so much more than you give.

Wonderful Recipe

You really need to try this fruit salad. My wonderful friend and boss at work gave me the recipe.

5 Cup Salad

1 cup mandarin oranges (drained)
1 cup miniature marshmallows

I have also added Marciano cherries and pecans to it – yummy!

Elizabethton Car Show

We decided to ride to Elizabethton to check out the cars. Jim at the car show
VW van -how funny is this!

This was Jim's favorite!
This one was pretty cool. Most of it was custom made.
