Here is a Yorkie that I Need to Find and Bring Into My Family

I found this little guys photo on Daily Squee and I fell in love with him. He reminded me of when Nano was a baby, plus he obviously likes martinis... my favorite drink, so this little guy is just made for our family. If anyone knows where I can find him, let me know, there is still a little space on the bed... TeeHee!!



Hope you are having a great day..... until next time..... Lorie

Musings on Aging and Exercise

~MUSINGS~

Walking can add minutes to your life..
This enables you at 85 years old to spend
an additional 5 months in a nursing home
at $7000 per month.

My grandpa started walking
five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he's 97 years old and we
don't know where the hell he is.


I like long walks,
especially when they are taken
by people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking
is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I have to walk early in the morning,
before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

I joined a health club last year ...
spent about 400 bucks.
Haven't lost a pound.
Apparently you have to go there.

Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise',
I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

I do have flabby thighs,
but fortunately my stomach covers them.

The advantage of exercising every day
is so when you die, they'll say,
....'Well, she looks good doesn't she.'

If you are going to try cross-country skiing,
start with a small country.

I know I got a lot of exercise the last few years,......
..... just getting over the hill.

We all get heavier as we get older,
because there's a lot more information in our heads.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Every time I start thinking too much about how I look,
I just find a Happy Hour, and by the time I leave,
I look just fine.

Hope you have a wonderful week.....

Until next time..... Lorie
