Hello world!

When someone subscribed to this blog that I had started a long time ago for a practice blog, I decided to activate it.  How did they find it in the first place? I have no idea. But I’m glad they did. Otherwise you wouldn’t be here now reading this. LOL This is definitely not a serious blog. This will just be a fun blog – maybe even a little silly at times. Who doesn’t like to have fun? And even be a little silly at times. I hope your visit here will at least put a smile on your face . . . 

Some of the AZ bloggers. What fun!

Burks’ Anniversary

The latest fun thing I did was take pictures at Ken and Marilyn Burk’s 50th Anniversary party. I didn’t even know I would be taking pictures, but when Marilyn told me she wished she had asked me to bring my camera, I was ready. I always carry it with me. Never know when a photo op will happen. I’m glad this one happened. I posted the video on Facebook last night. I didn’t know I could do that either. I’ve posted YouTube videos on fb but never a video that I made. Wow, now this is really fun. LOL

EXERCISE IS FUN

OK. I know there are a lot of things that are more fun but I do enjoy going to Silver Sneakers twice a week and exercising an hour each time. When our Tuesday instructor told us she had just made a DVD called Powerful Stretches, I decided to “check it out.” So, I hoped over to Amazon and ordered it.

The DVD is beautifully made and narrated by Nancy as many different powerful stretches are performed by her. If you want to find out more about the video, you can click HERE to go to the Amazon page where it is featured. I also wrote a review for it on Amazon. Here’s the back of the DVD case which tells more about it.

I especially appreciate the spiritual aspect of the DVD. I don’t think you will find that in most fitness DVDs. Now if I was a little younger and a little more in shape, I could do more of the stretches she demonstrates.

Gotta go now. If you want to be more fit, I hope you will consider getting Nancy’s DVD.

 

FUN IN THE SUN

Saturday was a fun day in the sun for hubby and me as we joined fellow blogger Debbie Petras of Heart Choices for Spring Showtime at the school where she teaches. Since the school, Rancho Solano, is very close to our home we invited Debbie to come by for breakfast on her way to the special fun day at her school. Click on the Heart Choices link to visit Debbie’s beautiful blog and see what she had to say about this fun day.

3 yr olds performing "In the Jungle".

I think they’re looking for that lion.

It was a beautiful sunny day and children in each age group took their turn on stage to entertain their families and friends gathered on the grounds of their beautiful school. Look at that sky. Wow. I was glad I wore a hat. After a nice turkey sandwich lunch, Debbie gave us a tour of her classroom. Boy, it made me wish I was a kid again and could be in this class. (I always did like school.)

 

Here’s a picture of Debbie and me in her classroom.

 

Debbie shot a picture of Clif and me outside her classroom as we were leaving.

Then as we were leaving, I shot these pictures at the front of Rancho Solano. We’ve driven by this school for years but this was our first time to be inside their buildings or to be on the campus. Thanks, Debbie, for inviting us.

 

Irish Dance

This is my feeble attempt to Photoshop edit this old photo of my tap dancing class dressed for a performance of Irish Washerwoman. I tried (to no avail) to color the skirts the beautiful sparkly shade of green they were. I think St. Patrick’s Day is more important to me because of these early memories.

ICE CREAM

When I saw this picture in a magazine advertising carpet, I thought to myself. Now that’s fun. I think I’ll put that picture on my fun blog. So here it is. (The magazine wasn’t advertising carpet. The picture was an advertisement for carpet.Thought I’d better make that clear.)

OLD PHOTOS

I love old photos. I think they are fun. So, I’m adding a few of my old photos. The first one is my great grandmother, Nancy (seated).

My mother's grandmother. The young girl is my great aunt Lilly.

Next is my grandmother (my mother’s mother).

Effie

Next is my mother.

My mother - Jessie

Here are two of my mother’s sisters.

Two of my mother's sisters - Gertrude and Ruth

My mother and daddy about 73 years ago. (I was 2).

My Parents about 1938.

Here is my hubby when he was a “little tyke” with his mother.

I’ll add more later. This is all for today. Enough fun for now.

I created this fun picture a few years ago. I don’t even remember exactly how I did it now, but I think I did it on Print Shop 2. I ran across it in my files and decided to put it here on my Fun Blog.

CLOWNS

CLIF AND I “CLOWNIN’ AROUND” – ABOUT 40 years ago.

KNOTT’S BERRY FARM

Even before there was a Disneyland there was a Knott’s Berry Farm. Oh no, it wasn’t like it is today. In my opinion it was much better. It was a great place to go, walk around, maybe eat a fried chicken dinner. Entrance and parking were both free. Chickens were running around the unpaved parking lot. Ah, the good ole days. Here are a couple of pictures taken there in 1955.

With my BFF Irene. Don’t know the guy in the middle.

This was B.C. (before Clif) lol

Also B.C.

It was fun getting pictures taken in the “Picture Gallery”. Here’s one taken in 1946. That’s me in the middle.

And here is one taken in about 1950

Yes, those were fun days. We had joy we had fun. We had seasons in the sun.

I shared this post a few days ago, but decided to link it to Cindy’s new blog party. I love vintage photos. These are very special to me as they bring back good memories from so many years ago. You can click on the bright pink button on my sidebar to go to Cindy’s blog.

LATER GATOR

Looking through my pictures, looking for fun stuff, I ran across this picture taken in October 2010 in Key West, Florida. Now that was truly a fun experience. The whole cruise thing, not just the gator. lol
