A Tale Of Two Park Benches

Dearest Lovely Peeps,

Howdy!

Kelly started back to school yesterday.

And I returned to My Bench after a long summer away.

Remember My Bench last winter?

But enough of the past!

This morning I sashayed a full 20 minutes along the trail, coffee in hand, fully clothed — then took off my shirt at Lou Neff Point. It was hot already at 8:30!

(Don’t worry — I was wearing my sports bra, of course.)

(My stretch pants did have a big hole in the rear, but I’m pretty-sure no one noticed.)

The sun was shining directly on My Bench (I try to avoid UVs) so I did my exercises on a shadier bench across the way, let’s dub it my Buttocks Bench. Or my “Morning Bench.”

After 10 minutes of buttocks tucks, sit-ups, leg lifts and such, I arranged my shirt and sunglasses on My old Bench, now called my “Afternoon Bench,” to take these pix for you with my iPhone.

(I tye-dyed that shirt myself last winter at Kalyani‘s. Not bad for a first go I think.)

A minute later, back on the trail (long tee on again) I captured these swans for you.

I LOVE our hike and bike trail!!

Can’t wait to get back there tomorrow after I drop Kelly at school.

Then maybe go shopping for some new stretch pants.

🙂

1,000,000 Pennies & 2 Give-Away Polls

I call that “Golden at The Blanton,”  3 summers ago.

Above her are bones.  I forget what kind. But as I recall, they’re real.

And below her are 1,000,000 pennies.

I kid thee not!

Anyway, I think it’s a neat shot I took with my old Kodak Easyshare, and I imagine I used no flash.  There are zero photo effects on it.

Now, about those 2 give-away polls…

…because I have some excellent-used stuff just lying around our (smoke-free, love-filled, mostly-unchaotic) home to possibly bring someone else pleasure, your votes might help me decide what to do with some of it.  And maybe even land you a Jannie letter on beautiful stationery with gorgeous stamps and hopefully relatively neat hand-writing. Whoo-hoo!

Thanks!

Jannie

P.S. Thanks for your nice comments on my post yesterday when I was worrying if I was a weird freak. 🙂  You all made me feel so much better about being me.
