Daily Food Diary – Day 177 of 365

This is Day 177 of my Daily Food Diary! 💃

Yesterday was a pretty good  day for me.  Not food goal wise… But good as days go!

Molly and I took our morning walk alone as Dan was busy getting ready to head out for a round of golf.   We did pretty good on our own, although it is always better when Dan is with us and I know he has our backs  (water, back up collar, poop bags….  👍).  He was particularly missed when Molly and I were walking the grassy path between the railroad tracks and McKinley Street and Molly screeched to a sudden stop to pee.  I didn’t catapult over her, but I was startled.  We had another (long) moment when we were cutting through the ball diamonds to come home and Molly saw friends of hers at the dogpark (across the water channel).  I thought I might be going for a swim, but I  managed to hold onto her collar and drag her until she decided to continue our walk. 🤦

After we got home, I did my aerobic workout and had my lunch before Maddy & Prim called.  They were at the Regent Pool (by the dogpark) and were looking to come for a visit.  It was their first day of summer holidays so I was pretty excited that they chose  to come and spend part of it with  Grandma. 💞

We had a good visit and the girls had toasted bacon and tomato sandwiches.   When the grandkids come over they often talk about visits and sleepovers that we had when they were younger.  They each have their own favourite memories.   The other day,  Prim told me that she mostly remembers the food we shared. 

Just as they were talking about heading home, our afternoon thunder storm hit.   They don’t live far but I drove them home before the worst of it hit.   Had they walked, they would have gotten drenched at the very least.

Maddy & Prim – heading into grades 10 an 8 when school resumes in September.
Maddy & Prim – back in the day, when Maddy was trying to make beautiful memories and Prim was excited about having  lunch. 😂

  1. I’m glad that you didn’t take a dip, Anne! Molly must be very strong. It’s amazing how fast children become adults, that’s a great photo of the girls. Have a great weekend, Anne. 😊

  4. What a beautiful post! I know you are posting every day which I try and read but this one really touched my heart with the grandkids! So sweet they came over and to reminisce even better! They do grow up wayyy too fast! Such cute photos of them, very beautiful young ladies! 💞
    I hear you hanging on to Molly, haha, I instantly think of hanging on to Murphy as I lead him around as he can be full of energy some days and he’s a giant! 😂 So happy you have the strength to not end up in the water, silly girl!! Sending lots of love and hugs your way! ❤️🤗

  5. Thank you, Mags! I am always happy when we both make it home in one piece! Our petunias, pansies, and portulaca (moss rose?) are all blooming well this year. It is HOT today so hopefully all of the plants will start growing. We are very lucky to have the girls so close. 👍💞

  6. Thank you, Diana. I know you have (only) your sweet memories as well. We went through the such issues with all of our grandkids at one time or another – including these two little girls. Now there are two little grandsons that we are not seeing. (We have never met the three year old). Such is life. 😢💞

  8. Precious pictures. We have a rising 8th grade granddaughter living with us. She was a one year old when she moved in. I do not mind that she has grown up so fast; I just wish that I didn’t have to grow old that fast!

  13. Thank you, Martha. The years are flying by for sure. It’s funny when we look at them and they look just like they did when they were toddlers – except bigger. 😂

  17. It’s scary. Been there, felt it, Anne. I got my license in 1977, that’s 47 years ago I think. I’ve been in two big crashes, neither were my fault. One was actually when I was working for my folks’ GM dealership in a company car during the 80s.

  18. I’ve been in a couple myself but nothing serious. I taught both of my sons to drive – at the same time. Thankfully Dan was around to teach Jennifer. 🤗. She enjoys driving the most. I might have broken Mark and son Dan. 😂

  19. Aw that’s so cool, Anne!! I remember the car I took my training in, it was an older at the time GM car. It had a brake pedal installed in the front passenger side! 😂
