"They gave their tomorrows for our todays" -- the quote on our float today. One day a year is not often enough to remember the sacrifices made so we can live in freedom.
The goslings and I walked with our Christian school's float in the local parade. Lovely time. Hot. Sunny. Good company. Candy...which I did not eat!
My "10 days of real food" eating challenge went very well. I finished that a week or so ago and then took a few days "off" before beginning the biggie...100 days of real food. Ack! What have I done?! Actually, it's going well so far, three days in, and I am enjoying the renewed commitment to eating healthier.
Today has been an interesting eating day, one of many that I am sure to come across between now and September 3rd-ish (97 days (or so) away and coincidentally my daughter's 11th birthday). I packed myself almonds and dried fruit to eat for a light lunch but come lunch time...it was not very appealing. Thankfully, we were at my dear sister's apartment and she had some plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and fresh fruit! Yum!! So refreshing. Thanks, L.
I am looking forward to the challenges ahead...birthday parties, the Fourth, Goodies', camping.
I am also planning to make a few recipes for things I love that I want to eat, such as Barbecue Sauce! Just have to make it myself so I can control the ingredients. Also hoping to try making yogurt cheese so I can make a fantastic herb-garlic spread to enjoy with veggies.
A normal day tomorrow, hooray, life has been extremely busy lately.....only four and a half more days til the goslings are set free for the summer!! Crazy!!
Is coffee clean??
