Hi, today I am grateful for getting new tires on my car. This ties into my grateful for work I posted yesterday. I’ve known for a while that my tires were needing replaced. Just spending so much money is hard to part with. Today I bit the bullet.

Kevin wanted me to get Michelin. I had gone to my local Big O Tires. The Michelin tires I had on the car, Big O’s did not have 4 in stock. It would have been next week and I wanted to get tires today. I ended up going with the Big O Tire brand. These are 75,000 mile tires. Michelin would have been 80,000.

While waiting, I met a real nice lady. She was very patient with me while I told her about my Weight Watcher journey. I just came from my weekly meeting and I can officially say I have lost 25 lbs since my start date! Our visit was very pleasurable. I have gained a new friend. The Good Lord does work in mysterious ways. We knew many of the same people even though this was our first meeting.

The Good Lord works in mysterious ways!

WW Update:
Since Start Date; -25.6lbs

Hi, today I am grateful for technology. I absolutely enjoy the pleasure my laptop, computer gear, cellphone and all the things that go with the techie stuff brings to me. I have been taking digital pictures for over 20 years now. Most of my saved files are on CDs and the newer laptops and PCs do not have the DVD/CD drives anymore. At least my newest laptop does not. My newest techie purchase was the external DVD/CD drive. I had so much fun looking thru my past images last evening and today!

Hi, it’s my Day 15 in 31. Today I am grateful for a girls day out! Linda and I went to Powell Gardens.

This is an absolutely beautiful place. The collage above features the chapel that is part of Powell Gardens. The day we were there, the chapel was going to close to the public at 3pm for a wedding. And what a lovely, perfect day for the wedding and wedding pictures. Not too hot for the bride and groom/wedding party for outdoor pictures. And certainly warm enough for the guests to mingle outside for the reception. If I were not with Linda, I would truly have been a wedding crasher that evening! 🙂

Once we arrived, parked and bought our admission tickets, we headed to the chapel first. This was a good walk. Beautiful things to see the whole way. We came upon a young lady having her senior pictures taken. Unlike the bride and groom who more than likely would have many layers on, this high school senior had on a short summer dress. A cold day for that dress!

As we were walking, a maintenance worker was driving a golf course coming towards us. Well, I stuck my thumb out like a hitch hiker. He stopped. We asked for a ride back to the visitor building. He did better than that. He gave us a guided tour of the 45 acre botanical gardens!
