Busy Weekend

We have had a super busy weekend. Saturday started with 45 min at the gym, the 11 AM football kick off didn’t allow for a longer time. I got on the ET for 35 min and did abs for 10, so I am soar today which makes me smile. After the gym we [...]

Mom left this morning , so tonight its going to be just Sadie and I. Sadie looked sad seeing mom’s suitcase, they had become quite buddies. I really enjoyed her visit and am looking forward to going up to MA in a couple of weeks.
