Choosing Healthy

No matter what your lifestyle, it is always a challenge to eat healthy and make it savory! After a long Memorial Day weekend of overindulging, I resolved yet again to make better choices. So, I know this might not be news to you healthy eaters, but I discovered the Cooking Light website and the endless recipes with fresh ingredients, interesting flavors, and most important, low calories. In particular, I ventured to experiment with using MyRecipe.com to plan, organize and save recipes I want to try and to make shopping lists. Tonight it is Beef and Mushroom Sloppy Joes. Looks and smells delicious.

Zentangle

An artsy friend introduced me to this creative pastime about a year ago, and I thought "that's cool" and left it at that.  But, in my ongoing quest to keep busy while I bounce between MVY and MSP, I decided to give it a go, and it is addicting. Often considered yoga for the mind, Zentangle takes practice, patience, and skill. It is purported to calm the mind, reduce stress and improve focus. I don't know about that, but I do find it relaxing, rewarding AND less expensive than some of my other favorite hobbies i.e., golf, pilates, needlepoint and can be done anywhere. So, have pen and paper will travel, you never know when you might be the recipient of a Zentangle design by The Spicer! Here are a few samples....

Delta Gamma Golf: Round Two--A Family Affair

One for all and all for one.

How lucky am I that four out of five family members golf? It makes for fun get togethers, friendly competition, and lively conversation. Two of the five are Delta Gamma Sorority sisters. Check them out at:   http://www.deltagamma.org/. Support for Sight is their philanthropic cause, so when the annual Duke DG golf tournament fundraiser came around this year, it was a no brainer. We didn't win any prizes for our golf, but we looked great! Check it out:

Putt for dough, drive for show!

Next on the tee.

On the course and lookin good.

Golf Divas!

Although the weather was cool and overcast, we enjoyed being together, supporting a good cause, and doing something we love. There's always next year!

All finished and still smiling.
