Pap-Paw's TRUCK

Jackson with Pap-Paw
Last week we got to visit my dad, and Jackson got his first chance to "drive" a BIG TRUCK. My mom has a really long driveway, and Pap-Paw let Jackson sit in his lap and "drive". What a GREAT experience for them both. We are so blessed to have my parents in our lives...even if we only get to see each other every few weeks. I'm certain this day will be "recorded" in Jackson mind...as he has such a great memory! Thanks Pap-Paw.
Get up and MOVE IT!!!
Praises to him,
Roxy

Wine Tasting

A pic of me and hubby this week-end....a little warm...thus the "Rosy glow"! Looks like we just went to the "Mommy and Me" aerobics class!


As Promised....I've got some wine selections for you to try. We went to the Southern Indiana Brewery and Winery Festival held by SWIRCA last night. Lots of fun, not to mention good wine and brew. 2 fellow Mommy and Me Moms were there w/ hubbies enjoying a "date night"... KUDOS to them.


12 Wineries present: Top Three Picks




  1. Huber's Winery - located at Starlight IN.... lots of great wine, family fun, orchards to pick from (apples, pumpkins, etc) ...We go EVERY Fall for our Family outing and wine tasting. So maybe it's unfair to have them in my picks....somewhat bias! Check them out http://www.huberwinery.com/ 2 wines of choice (of those available last night) Star Light Red and Sweet Marcella!


  2. Indian Creek Winery- located in Georgetown In...not far from Huber's. BRAND NEW WINERY....opened in March! (We'll have to add them to our October trip) Great owners and good wine! My PURCHASE of the evening came from here... Sweet Creek Rose...YUM! The other wine of choice which is officially not even bottled is Lily La Cross...and nice white blend of 2 whites they make....look for it soon! Check them out at http://www.indiancreekwinery.org/


  3. Butler Winery and Vineyards- located in Bloomington In. Worthy of a trip to Nashville IN and a night's stay at a bed and breakfast. I liked the Butler Indiana Red and white...Also the Butler Blueberry was nice. Look for them at http://www.butlerwinery.com/


Need to mention Winzerwald Winery- Bristow IN.... they had A LOT to choose from, and I didn't sample that many of the selection....but a nice "spicy" wine was Schweizer Spice for those white fans, and a Gluhwein for a red spicy blend. http://www.winzerwaldwinery.com/



So that's it.... Go check'em out! Hubby tried the brew's....but I don't mix that w/ wine...so no reports there!



Have a GREAT week! Happy Walking.

Rubber Ducky?

Dane in his DUCKY tub!




OK...

I know you were expecting pictures and video of Huey Lewis & the News, BUT after a week of frustration I still can not get them onto my computer! My phone doesn't have the email option, and doesn't seem to do anything when I hook up the USB port to it and the computer. Tried several other options without success. Open to suggestions!
So.... in light of "MOVING ON" after an entire week of holding on here's some pictures of Dane in his NEW TUB.

Thanks to one of my Louisville Buddies for the GREAT gift. Can be found at Target!

Heading out w/ hubby tonight to a Fund-raiser Wine and Beer festival. I'll post the "top picks" for you to try ASAP!

Oh....I've completed my TEAM TEACHING for BODYPUMP and will start next week solo! Keep your fingers crossed. Loving the changes that the class has already done to my muscles!! Still have A LOT of work to do...but baby steps are happening!

Lots of Hugs..... TAKE A WALK this week-end!

MOVE IT,

Roxy

Back in TIME!

I'm chopping at the bit to do my "BACK IN TIME" post! Yes, stepping back to the 80's my hubby and I went to a HUEY LEWIS and the NEWS concert last night! WHAT FUN!!! My mom brain forgot the camera, but the trusty cell phone was there to save the day! Now to just find a way to down-load the video/pictures to the computer. My port doesn't fit the phone...!!!! But it will be worth the WAIT...my phone was actually HELD BY HUEY!! Yes...my attempt to head to the front row for a picture turned into him SMILING at me...and then TAKING MY CELL PHONE OUT OF MY HAND!!! Yes, he did! Took the phone and sang about 30 seconds into the phone....little did he know no-one was on the other end....just recording him! WHAT FUN!! I couldn't BELIEVE IT! After that hubby and I stayed up front and danced the night away! BAD BAD BAD!!!
Heart of Rock & Roll,
Roxy
I'll be BACK w/ video.

REST

Ladies,

This is just a little reminder to LISTEN to your body! Be in tuned with your body so that you can take care of it! Today, after teaching 2 aerobics classes....I had the LONG "to-do" list in my mind, but with both babies sleeping I decided to fore-go the "chores". I LISTENED to my body telling me to REST! Yes, it a guilty feeling at first.... when my mind wants me to PUSH PUSH and do everything I can while they sleep. BUT we need to STOP and realize what's most IMPORTANT...our health! The dishes, or unfolding laundry, or crumbly floor (by the high chair) WILL WAIT! Don't place yourself on the pedestal and try to be QUEEN of ALL THINGS! We are NOT! We are HUMAN! Let the spirit work in you, and LISTEN when you need to REST!!
"Then Peter and the apostles replied, WE must obey God rather than men." Acts 5:25

Remember we are no good to anyone else when we're TIRED and CRANKY. Just like a 2 year old...we can become IRRATIONAL when not rested. So...the next time your BODY whispers..."Nap"....or SCREAMS "NAP"....LISTEN and respond.

Blessings! NOW GET UP AND MOVE IT after that nap!
Rested,
ROXY
