Tired!

My daughter tells me my blog is tired and needs a face lift. Sounds like I have a lot in common with it. I didn't do this the first time. So...!

Water Aerobics!

The pool is open again and I'm back to water aerobics. I think it is my favorite form of exercise. I can do it and not be sore for days. The moves are simple enough that you can do all the moves and degree of difficulty is only determined by yourself. You can really kick your own butt! If there is a class, I'll be there.

Twirly skirts

Remember the day back in the early 90's I guess when twirly skirts with leggings were all the rage? My youngest daughter had an entire closet/drawer full of "twirly skirts". She "had" to wear them everywhere. I remember this one time when she was 4 or 5 and we were at a swim team banquet and she did not have on a twirly skirt. You say, "so?"
Swim team banquet includes music and dancing after awards are handed out. The music began and all the kids and adults started to dance except "twirly girl" (we will call her). When I tried to encourage her to participate, she told me she couldn't dance. I answered yes you can just try and she insisted she had to have her twirly skirt to dance....
Yes, I went home to get a twirly skirt and guess what she can dance and twirl. She hasn't stopped dancing yet. As she got older she changed her dancing skirts for some blue and white stripes. :)
This same twirly girl came home for some time this summer and I was making her some dresses and yes out of her mouth came, "I want the skirt to be flowy on the bottom." Sounds like she is in the mood for some twirly skirts again.
So twirly skirts for the twirly girl!
