I'M SMILING.....

It made me smile (and chuckle) when I looked around in church yesterday and it seemed lots of us girls decided to wear black and white! Every time I looked toward the door, another friend came in wearing black and white. It got to be funny. We were there early so we decided we needed a picture. No problem...I always have my camera handy.

I think this will make YOU smile:




He's 90 and she's 84! Click here to read a newspaper article I found about this cute couple.

I did Day 4 of the 30 Day Shred yesterday afternoon. It's getting a teensy bit easier. It's still kicking my butt though. George made me smile when we were riding our bikes last night when he suddenly asked if I had weighed myself lately. I told him no...our scales drive me c-r-a-z-y. If you step on them 3 times, you get 3 different weights. I'd rather just go by how my clothes fit and how I feel. Anyway, he said it looks like I've lost a bit. Yeah me! That's something to smile about!

Day 5, here I come.....

My Mother's Day was great. How about yours?

Do you have reasons to smile on this Monday morning?


Hugs and kisses,
Kat

I am loving that hair cut!

I am glad you had a wonderful Mother's Day! I sure did! My husband and two big boys babied me all day! I played around in my gardens.

Back to school today, but only 13 more days for me! Nancy from OHIO

Great looking group of ladies!!! Who doesn't love black and white????

I think I am on Day 11 of the Shred...I lost count. It is still very difficult for me but I am DETERMINED.........Good for you that George noticed a difference! I haven't had a comment yet, but when I do, I will post it for all the world to see!!!

Had a great Mother's Day and enjoyed the weekend, too. I wear black and white every day! I guess it is my "calling card." Cute picture. Today I am wearing my white capris. Too funny!

Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritaville said...

Cute picture!

Good for you for sticking to the shred. It pays off!

Susan said...

That is TOO funny about the outfits. I am so glad you took a picture. You ladies really are in sync!

Gram said...

Love the picture - isn't it funny when that happens? I am smiling today because I spent most of my Mother's Day with my son, my daughter-in-law and grandson!

Great photo! I wear a lot of black and white. Once in awhile I throw in a bright color. I wonder how many pairs of black capris and crops, I have!!

Hope your week is wonderful!

Sometimes It's Good said...

You started my day with a smile! What a cute video and something to strive for: being happy and healthy when we get to their ages.
Loved the black and white outfits, too. Great minds think alike!
Hugs, Susan

I wore black and white yesterday also. I should have attended your church! =)

What a cute video!

Melissa said...

Your whole post made me smile!

Connie said...

What a nice video to see on Monday morning. They are the cutest. I sent it to my aunts and uncles who are all in their 70's and 80's. Hopefully they will figure out how to play it.

The black and white outfits were great and I love the hair!

Have a good week and keep up the good work!

Linda said...

Happy belated Mother's Day to you!! So glad you had your camera on hand for a picture of all the "black and white" ladies. Your all beautiful!

I keep hearing about this shred video. I've got to look for it as my body's out of control these days...darn menopause!

I LOVED the video of the cute piano playing couple...they're adorable!

The Bloom Girls said...

I always wear blk/wht and yesterday I decided to wear a very bright and colorful dress and boy did my family notice. My son told me it's the most color he's ever seen me wear!!!
I love the video of the very sweet couple playing the piano. Too cute! It certainly is inspirational. I am approaching my 50th in June and when I see things like that it makes me feel like I have a complete lifetime ahead of me.
Congrats on sticking to your new exercise program. I've been trying the P90X and it is a total butt-kicker, which is definitely a good thing for this almost 50 year old behind!
So glad you've returned!

Love the black and white picture from church. That same thing happens sometimes when I get together with a group of my girlfriends. We will all wear the same color!! Cute video too. Glad you had a nice Mother's Day. Keep up the good work and those pounds will come off. You look wonderful and I love your new haircut! Have a great week. Love & blessings from NC!

Jean said...

Hilarious - I'm sitting here looking at that "black and white" picture in my black and white outfit!!!

That couple playing the piano is just the best. Just too cute!

Harbor Hon said...

That was a great video. I loved how he patted her boom-boom when he changed places. It made me laugh out loud. They are so feisty! Wish we could all say that when we get to be their age. :)

You all looked great in your black and white. You've so many friends, my friend. :)

And 'you go girl' on doing the SHRED so well that even George is noticing. *wink* xxoo

I hope you had a wonderful mothers day. My kids drove from Charlotte and surprised me. It was great fun!

But~ I was so surprised that I didn't even have a camera with me!! What kind of blogger am I?

annie said...

Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!!!

Meggie said...

You all look great in your black and white! What a cute video of the older couple.

Unknown said...

Proves that black and white is really in this season!!

Loved the video. I bet that little couple made sweet music together all their lives!
