My weight reduction plan.......any takers?

I have something for my intellectual type fans to solve for me. I have had some issues trying to keep hydrated. For some reason it is worse when I am away from home. Most of the time it is because I get tired and worn out and then my body doesn't work good and I don't stop and run extra fluids. But this time I kept myself rested and I ran extra fluids even before I needed it and this was the results...... One night I ran almost 3 liters of fluids in and still lost 2 lbs over night. Now how can that happen!!!! I did make 3 trips to the bathroom but certainly NOT 3 liters PLUS 2 lbs worth. I don't get it! Someone needs to figure this out. We could make lots of money off of "Marilyn's weight reduction plan". But meanwhile it isn't my idea of a good time.

I have to share my exciting evening with you. Some of you will know that our vehicles have been hit a few times by cars sliding or rolling down the hill. Well we had another run-away car incident tonight. My neighbor had an old truck he was towing up the street and around to the back of his house. The tow bar broke down the street before he got home so he wrapped a chain around the old truck and looped the chain around the ball on the pulling truck. We were watching from in the house and then saw the pulled truck break loose and go rolling (fast) down the street in front of our house. Our garage blocked our view but we could see that it did not hit any of our vehicles or our garage. But the question was, where did it stop? Well our construction workers had an enclosed utility trailor parked in front of our house. The truck hit it and pushed it down the street. The truck hit a "planted" railroad tie and stopped before doing any more damage. My contractors came to check our their damages. It smashed up the back of their trailor, but they can open the door. And their tools were not damaged. They said, "It's a good thing it didn't hit your garage." ANd then they corrected themselves and said, 'NO, maybe it would have been better to hit the garage, we know where we can find someone to fix it." That's my excitement for the night. Now we are thinking of where to put some poles to protect our garage.

We went to Panaca for a couple of days. Mike did some cleaning up and hauled some stuff off to the dump. He still has more stuff to get rid of. Stuff sure does accumulate. Mike took our dogs down there. Jessie has a little dachsund, Heidi. Heidi used to be afraid to go outside at all when the big dogs were there, but they are friends now. We were getting ready to leave and Heidi wanted in the truck. Mike put her on the front seat. Nope, that was not good enough for her. So he put her in the bed and she was one happy camper. She really thought she should go home with us. Of course she couldn't go with us because Grandma would miss her too much.

This is Mike's Dad's tombstone. It sure looks nice.

I have stalled out on my cleaning but I decided today that I needed to empty just one box and clear off one counter. I took a picture to prove that I did it. Guess I could take a picture of the box that I emptied. Maybe later.
