Week 41... Spring Break

Greetings:

It's that time of year...  It's Spring Break.  Ok, for me, not officially until 5pm later today, but who's counting.  So, for the next 9 days, I am going to see how much or how little I can get done.  There is much to do, so we'll see.  Donna works pretty much right through the middle portion of it, so we are staying close to home, with maybe a weekend trip to the Island.  I have 3 garages that need cleaning out and a patio that needs fresh plants.  Having said that, this week, I have been going back and forth between NO Blog Post and a LIGHT Blog Post:  Not a lot happening this past week.  At the last minute, I decided on a Light Blog Post, so this will be "Short & Sweet."

Ain't "No More Wheat"

(say it ain't so)

Donna and I mostly Donna made the decision to go on a Gluten Free Diet.  As of this past Tuesday, "It's on like Donkey Kong."  It's a bit of a challenge, especially when you walk into an early morning meeting on the very 1st day of your new "lifestyle" and you see multiple boxes of my beloved Shipley's Donuts.  Holy Smokes!!!  Also, it means no more spur of the moment swings through the Whataburger Drive Thru for my favorite "Double Meat with Cheese & a Large Fries."  Instead, while off on my break, in addition to reading "Freshwater Aquariums:  How to Set Up One Like an Expert" (see last weeks Blog), I'll also be reading, courtesy of Donna, "What Can I Eat?  Gluten Free Diet" as well as "Wheat Belly."  I think I might have a "Wheat Belly."  Ha...  So, we'll see how all this goes.  As we go forward, I'll keep you posted. 

My New Pinterest Board

"Quotes I'm Into"

I recently started a new Board on Pinterest that I named "Quotes I'm Into" simply because I have started seeing more and more quotes on there that I like.  Below are a few of my favorites that I have collected so far that I would like to share here...

Just a few of what I like so far...  I thought these were all pretty neat.  And finally, former Houston Oilers Quarterback, Dante Pastorini, posted a quote on Facebook this week that caught my attention:  

"They laugh at me because I'm different...  I laugh at them because they're all the same." 

Munchkin's Birthday

Three Pics

Such a "Poser"

A Dog with her Ketchup...

Making a "Wish"

Last Night's Meal:  I should have taken a picture, but, I'll just verbalize:  Perfectly seasoned and grilled Flat Iron Steak (medium rare) along with a Crisp Salad and a Glass of Wine.  Not bad for a "Gluten Free Meal." 

Music:  OK, so in honor of Spring Break next week, you can't ever go wrong by selecting a song from the Beach Boys...  One of their biggest hits and one of my all time fave's:  Give a listen to California Girls and I bet you find your smile. 

Market Watch:  The Market as a whole is just busting out in a major way, climbing this week to over 14,300.  Facebook crept up as well to a closing last night of 28.57.

The End:  Kinda sorta short & sweet and I appreciate you stopping by.  Thank You very much.  I hope you have a great weekend and I hope you'll stop by again next week.

Be safe, be smart, and always smile...  It's "Happy Friday"

adios...  vaya con dios
