getting back on track

This morning as I was getting ready to walk 10 miles in the Crim, yes 10 miles, I said to myself, this would be a great jump start to getting back on track with my diet. So today before I had left downtown Flint, after walking 10 Miles, I had eaten...1 Krispie cream doughnut, 2 protien bars, 3 popsciles, 1 bananna, a piece of pizza, drank 2 cokes, Gator aid and now I am on my way to Panara Bread for dinner. What a great way to start a diet!!!!

Things that go bump in the night

So, we are sitting around the campfire in Pentwater, the fire is roaring, music is playing, people are laughing when John let's out a scream any little girl would be proud of. His leg's fly up in the air and we all laugh but he's yelling, no...no something ran into my chair and bit me. Now, John being the jokester that he is no one believed him until Stella, who was sitting next to him, started screaming no no I saw it...a fury creature was under his chair. Half heatedly I got out of my chair to inspect the leg in question and sure enough there was blood and bite marks. Well needless to say all pandemonium broke loose around the fire, screaming like you have never heard, what to do what to do. Should he go to the hospital or should we call the police or just wait, so we did nothing until Sunday night when we got home from Pentwater. I looked rabies up on the Internet and it said,"if bitten by an unknown creature seek help immediately. Once you start to exhibit symptom's it's to late". Being the good wife that I am I sent him on his way, thinking they'll probably just give him a shot and some pills and he will be fine. Well, he didn't get 1 shot he got 15 shot's and he will need a shot once a week for 4 weeks. So next time you are enjoying sitting out at a bonfire... just be careful of thing's the go "BUMP" in the night....

Pentwater beauties




One of these feet are not like the others one of the feet just doesn't belong...can you tell which one or who's....

What a weekend

What a weekend we had! It all started Sat. with the first annual Northern Keaton Family Reunion. There were about 60 brave Keaton's who came out and huddled together under the pavilion at Holly State Recreation Center. Then Sunday my family gathered together to celebrate Joanna's and Allies birthday on what was the hottest day of the summer. I'm not complaining or anything about the heat but my family looked a little sweaty sitting outside for dinner. Yes, I made them eat outside in this heat. It was my party and I can eat where I want to, so I did. Sorry family...The best part of the weekend was having Joanna home. I miss my girl and it had been a long time sence our family had spent any time with her. You are loved little girl and it was so good to have you home!
