It is 162 Days since I began posting my Daily Food Diary! 😊
We are at son Dan’s for a few days. Theoretically we are here to help Dan hold down the fort and keep their two sons – Lucas (10) and Cason (6), while Dan’s wife is out of town. In reality, Dan has some unexpected time off so has a handle on everything. We aren’t doing much except enjoying our visit.
Tomorrow, Dan & son Dan are spending the day at a golf tournament so I will get a chance to step up a bit.
I did get my aerobics done yesterday. We also had enough of a break from the smoke that I got outside for a bit of fresh air. 💪

That’s it for today. Take care and have a good day!

It looks like your son has a lovely home, Betty. Depending on what dietary guidelines you follow, potatoes can count as a vegetable. They’re a starchy vegetable in Canada’s food guide, but they’re still a vegetable. I know when I lost my 40 lbs following the WW eating plan, they counted as a vegetable if they were baked or cooked with no fat. Regardless, you’re still doing extremely well while you’re away! I’m happy you’ve been able to enjoy some time outdoors on that beautiful deck!

Dan’s home looks very nice, Anne! Enjoy the change of scenery. And, hopefully little to zero smoke.

Keep enjoying your time at Dan’s. The ribs sure do sound good. The flowers are pretty. I hope the smoke is all gone.

Thank you, Terry. They have a beautiful home and a stunning deck, but bottom line – it is all very homey and inviting. Personally, I think potatoes should count as a vegetable regardless of what you do to them. 🤗💞

Thank you, John. The smoke seems to be less bothersome today but it is cold and expecting rain. 🤦

Thank you, Mags. We haven’t had a chance to spend much time with Dan’s daughter Gabby yet, but she gets off work early today so we should see more of her. Amanda’s flowers are doing well. Very bright and perky! Have a great rest of your day. 💞🥰

That’s ok. I called Gabby ‘Maddy’ when she left for work this morning. 🤦😂

That’s good news but maybe not the rain…

I think I called you Betty because of all of the times you used the name Dan in your post. I have another blogging friend (Betty) whose husband’s name is Dan. There! Now I can maybe excuse and forgive myself. Whew!! 😅

There does seem to be a lot of Dan’s to keep straight. We actually know quite a few Annes & Dans
