Travel is Fatal to Prejudice, Bigotry and Narrow-mindedness Mark Twain


My husband and I love to travel. We have done quite a lot in Europe, China, Thailand and the Caribbean. We love to watch the travel shows on TV. You learn so much from traveling and it truly broadens your horizons. One thing I have learned is that people are people- all basically the same--all over the world!

Member Since: 5/9/2011

Fitness Minutes: 87,289

My Goals:
I would like to take charge of my weight and get healthy. I hate to exercise, but at my age it becomes a necessity, not a choice unless I want to deal with the alternative.

My Program:
 I am staying within my calorie goals and eating healthier- working on more veggies. My downfall is not exercising. I am working on this, making slow progress.


Personal Information:
I live in a small town in northern Illinois. My husband and I have been married 51 years and have 2 sons. We have one grandson who is the joy of our life right now. We have a new rescue puppy named Luke.

I am a nurse on the brink of retirement. Just having a hard time making the big decision.

    I have had NO COMPUTER for 4 days. I was in a big Virus. Fred's computer was spared but I had Trojans and a huge mess.
    I could not find Spark and I had my son to come help me out. McAfee and my own Interior Explorer and it was out as well.
    We have been a bit warmer but the river is over it's banks. The yard was still ice in the ground and I hope it is still ICE.

    I had to ask our youngest son, closer by. Our DIL has come from Las Vegas and bought a house just a few houses close by. We have seen our son but no grand daughter and Tiffany has only been two at the house, since they were driving by the house to go to our Grand daughter for Karate.
    I asked Peter could he clean up my computer and there were a big and I asked to come to dinner. Peter said yes it will be nice but Tiffany's mother said she wanted the family together. Peter said Mom, Tiff's mother was a big Deal and I am not happy but they came to the house and stayed 3 hours, and then they went to dinner. It was a nice time but I am still not talking very well. Fred and Peter are my interpreter.
    Peter has to go to Boston for three months to do a big job and Tiffany saw how much clothes in boxes and she said she had forgot so I gave her a KEY to the house and hopefully she wants to do her scrapbooking. I have appointments and I have drive for Fred too, I am walking with a 2 friends and I have been raking the yard and I love to do the yard.
    I hope Darren was happy to chocolate and Happy Easter. I hope it was good to be with together. I want to some sun. emoticon I missed a lot of my computer, Pat in Maine.
