Christmas Cookies 2019 vs 2020

     

      

         We made do as did most everyone else.

Condo pix

paint

So, the painters started yesterday.  Our colors are simply white for trim, ceiling; ocean air for walls that are next to the windows and sea foam for the rest.  Not sure if this pic does it justice.  Below are the ones from the Benjamin Moore (because just everyone knows this is the best paint to get - or at least my husband knows) site....

Well anyway.  if I had the ability to do an arrow here... I would point to it.  Since I do not, I will consider another blogging method with more flexibility.  For now, you get the idea.

New Start

In about 11 days, we will be living here.

Close to the top

If I knew how to circle the actual condo, I would.

Maybe I will figure it out and 

do it at a later date.

Anyway.

I intend to post a picture a day

of our new adventure.

Idea taken from my sister who posted a picture a day for a year.

She did it well

hopefully I will too.

February/March Challenge et al

So, Roger and I had a Paleo challenge with Jay and Tina for the month of February.  Simple - a point a day if one did not cheat.  The golden oldies beat the blues (we each took a color).  I was amazingly good - got all my points, Roger got all but one and the blue team cried the blues...altho their slips were due to much needed nights out sans baby.


So on to March -  A few things that, of course, my son got me into....


CrossFit Game Open - registered on-line, 5 workouts in 5 weeks.  So far, two down:

• 12.1 was as many burpees as you could do in 7 minutes... I did 40; Jay did 81!!!
• 12.2 was a snatch ladder which was:
• As many reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
• 30 Snatch (M 75 / F 45 lbs) - over age 55 the weight for women was 35lb
• 30 Snatch (M 135 / F 75 lbs) - over 55 it went up to 55 lb 
• 30 Snatch (M 165 / F 100 lbs) - then 75lbs
• Max Rep Snatch (M 210 / F 120 lbs) - then 90 lbs
• I did 39 and Jay did an amazing 69!!! which meant he was hefting 165 lbs overhead.

You can follow us on  www.CrossFit Games.com   - just type in our names.  I am the only Nancy Williams and Jay is the third Jason Williams.

March challenge:

• 5 pts for paleo eating (max 30 points per week, or 6 days)
• 3 points for working out (max 12 pts per week, or 4 days
• 2 pts for 8 hours sleep (max 20 pts per week, or 5 days)

goes for 5 weeks, from the 5th to the 7th of April (when we get to London).

Why the heck not!!!!  Can't hurt.

18 months ago...

was my last post... so much has happened since then.. One is the amazing Evie!

Another is a trip to Maui with Roger, Jay and Tina...

A very fun family Christmas

And, of course, a lot more...which I will leave for another catchup post.

Probably should include a quilt as well...

On Oct 7, Nyia is 7!!!

I got a call yesterday morning.  It was Nyia who was thanking me for the birthday card and the $7.00 that was in it.  She also told me it was going to be a great day - she and her mom had made delicious cookies that she was taking to her school.  We talked a bit and then I thanked her for calling me.  She thanked me for answering the phone.

Looks like it was a great day after all.
