Yesterday friends Karen and Nancy and I went Frenchy shopping and out for lunch to celebrate Karen's retirement (at 51!). Karen has been a public health 'baby nurse' for 25 years. Karen spends many of her new retirement hours with me at the gym - we can be found working out 4 or 5 times a week. Until I saw this pic I really didn't realize what a shorty I am - jeez - I guess I'm like Dad - he said he never 'felt short'!

So we had lunch at this quaint restaurant called 'Chez Christophe' and check out the coconut cream pie - it's huge! . . . and delicious! I think it takes about 30 minutes on the Eliptical trainer to work this off!


This afternoon I had Aaron over for a play date. What a beautiful day for tobogganing - nice and sunny and a little coat of ice on top of the snow. Aaron and family head off to Germany on Sunday for 5 weeks.

Scarey Gary after an evening of snow plowing after the last storm. Check out the snow in the doorway. I guess we're in for another storm tomorrow - ugh! Dominican Republic trip can't come soon enough - March 9th!

You must have had success at Frenchy and celebrated with a huge piece of pie! Right? I know I would! Even if it meant hours on some instrument of torture working off those calories!

Best part is going with good friends!

Winter has returned here. As you will see in Frank's Blog.

Have FUN in the SUN beginning March 9?! Be sure to take lots of pics to Blog - we will be waiting to see...
