Today and every day I get to go workout and go swimming! 🏊♂️
I love to swim!
I joined our local community recreation center!
The recreation center director was kind enough to have one of the employees give my husband and I the grand tour.
Spin classes. a specially treated comfy walking track, a giant pool and exercise equipment, all at our disposal!
All that swimming made me hungry!
Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries are always a fun escape into a lush world of an Australian aristocrat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phryne_Fisher
Sometimes I find her a little too unnaturally daring, and the circumstances surrounding her plots, a little unreal.
But the whole idea is she is some sort of woman superhero, who always gets her criminal!
There is a back story too, regarding her sister who was murdered as well, adding to the suspense and seriousness of the story.
However there is a lot of humor injected into each mystery as well, making it somewhat campy at times.
Overall, I enjoy the series and I’m revisiting it after a few years.
I also like the sequel they created called, “Ms. Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries.”
Not as popular or as long-running as the original TV series.

Overall, I like Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries as well as it’s spin-off.
We enjoyed a sensational experience for car-lovers today.
Autofest.
There was a variety of cars and trucks!
An unusual variety of vehicles were on display.
I couldn’t resist all the fun cars!
We enjoyed old and new cars and trucks.
Over the next few Sundays I will feature more cars from the 20th Annual New Ulm Auto fest Cycle and Car Show!
Last night hubby & I went out for some live music.🎶
The group “Freaque” was made up of one singer & 3 musicians that accompanied on a variety of instruments.
It was all original music mainly composed and song by the lead singer Gabriel Roderick.
I was very much impressed with the unique guitar technique with the metal rod on the strings.
The lead singer calls his brand of song-writing dirt-folk.

Fun day today!
Enjoyed Root Beer Floats
My workplace.
Cooling off 😎
So today I had my bra on inside out and my pants on backwards!
I was dressing in the dark so hubby might sleep.
I felt this was an analogy for not eating blind.
You need to shed light on your nutrition and your physical condition.
I am sticking to my calorie-tracking, never exceeding 1450 calories a day, and raising my metabolism by weight-lifting and cardio.
My pants are feeling looser and this week I found my good measuring tape.
I plan to fill in my measurements chart tonight with the help of my husband. It always helps to have someone measure you. But, you can also do it by yourself.
Just like knowing your weight and size, (and how to get properly dressed,) knowing your calories and nutrition is important for weight reduction and getting healthier.
Plan your work and work your plan and do it for yourself!
Food and focus go hand in hand.
Eat right. Feel right. Look right. Dress right!!! 🙂❤
P.S. All diet advice by me is my opinion and does not reflect on any professional advice. Lose weight at your own risk.

I recorded an on-demand silly yet fabulous film on YouTube TV starring Betty Grable.
When the movie works, it’s great.
This movie is involved with a hypnotized vulnerable exotic dancer and her friend who wind up in a fraternity, while they run away from a bald killer.
It is really funny in places, and the dance segments are phenomenal.
You have a college man, who ends up staying in college for 17 years.
I don’t want to do all the work for you, but if you like comedy mixed with hijinx you will totally like this film
The nice thing is that it is NOT a musical with dreaming and singing with invisible orchestras, so it seems cooler than that.
I hope you give it a glance if you want to laugh at people getting bonked on the head with a detached mannequin’s arm.
It’s a very hot day!
Time to “pony” up a hot car, The Mustang GT.

The Mustang has a long history.

In my back yard there are lovely blossoms scattered all around my Catalpa tree.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalpa
I sat under the tree inspired to write some poetry.
This is what I came up with.
“Ode to My Catalpa Tree.”
By Amy Zents
“Showering Spring flowers sail off my Catalpa tree,
Bearing pods that hang like handmade jewelry.
A tree so stunning beyond compare,
Your heart-shaped leaves so lovely,
Make me stop and stare!”
Our beautiful peonies were in a lovely state of bloom for only 2 or 3 days.
At first the blossoms looked very promising while they were in the bud.
Then one morning we stepped out in the backyard and saw the beautiful peonies in full bloom.
We were so happy to behold the stunning pink flowers!
But, then we got a storm. There was a lot of wind and rain.
The next morning there appeared to be a rusty edge on the blooms.
We simply accepted the results and went on as usual.
Sadly, today there is little left of our three day blossoms in their lovely state of bloom.
But, I admit they were inspiring and glorious while they lasted.
We look forward to seeing them again next Spring!
