A Little Surprise | My Sunday Snapshot

A little surprise

My Sunday Snapshot #14

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 14! I had a little surprise waiting for me when I was cleaning the pool skimmer. Usually the skimmer is filled with leaves and a few small bugs. Well, this time a baby turtle!

When I first saw this turtle I wondered if it was a snapping turtle. Snapping turtles are not a wanted turtle for our fishing ponds. So I text a picture to Kevin and he was the one who identified my little surprise turtle.

An Apple a Day

My Sunday Snapshot 13

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 13! It was a beautiful day. During my lunch break I took a stroll outside. I had seen the cows lined up at the fence row, grabbed an apple to see if I could get one to take it from my hand.

As I got closer to them, the cows backed away from the fence. Do you recognize the brown/red cow? This is the one that first came up to me in the post from Calves Part 2 Notice how much bigger he is?.

He was interested. I just couldn’t get him to take it.

My little pet rock!
Hi, today I am grateful for the kindness of my grand daughter. She made this little pet rock in her class at school. I keep it at my work desk. It usually will set on paperwork, a paper weight. Many times when I am on a call, I will look down and see this cute little rock. Brings a smile to my face!

Fun at the Kansas City Zoo

Fun at the Kansas City Zoo.

Hi, I had a fun birthday weekend with my family at the Kansas City Zoo. Happy birthday to me!

#14 Go the the Kansas City Zoo
and #38 visit the grand girls once a month

The morning began with eating breakfast out. I ordered a two egg omelet with cheese, bacon, green onion and tomato. After breakfast my daughter and her family picked me up to go to the zoo. It was for sure a fun birthday. It did make me realize a few things.

Firstly, I want to do better of taking pictures through out my adventures. There were things the grand girls did that I never took a picture. For example when they slid down the slide instead of using the stairs. I never took images of our lunch, what we ordered and the menu to show the high cost of ordering on zoo grounds. The thought of bringing a picnic lunch didn’t even come to mind until I saw the prices. One bottle of water was $5.00. Ouch, a family of 4 would be 20 bucks.

Secondly, my weight. My age, working from home, not getting out among other things I have been telling myself when I look in the mirror. This adventure to the zoo made me realize how my weight is affecting me. And it is not good. From this day forward, I will take more responsibility to do something for myself to improve my health. I want to be like my Aunt Phyllis was. When she was 80 she could keep up with my dancing when I was 50. She looked amazing. That is how I want to be when I am 80.

My inspiration in aging, my Aunt Phyllis.

#52 Walk two miles 3x a week.
#53 Do nightly excersizes 3x a week. Opposite nights from above walking goal.

These two will be a work in progress. And to keep a journal of progress, I will include a selfie of me each post. And hopefully this will show the change/progress of my efforts.

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
