What a couple of weeks this has been! Held the inurnment for my beloved mother in law on the 24th. We counted 81 people at the graveside and/or dinner and not sure we got everyone. The dinner went well. I ordered the meat and a cousin helped with the sides. I had lots of cookies left and bagged them up and sent them home with all the children who were there. My granddaughter who lives so far away was here, and it was wonderful to see her. The youngest grandchild stayed with us for a week afterward and she is delightful. Now our grandson is here this week helping hubby build a pond. He is such good help. Took to running the tractor, bulldozer, and backhoe like a champ. The boy is a natural. We think he should consider becoming a heavy equipment operator. The only downside is I gained 3 pound between cooking for the inurnment dinner and having the kids here and fixing things for them that I wouldn't normally fix (carbs!!). I've managed to lose 1 of those pesky pounds and need to work on the other 2.

127.0 lb Lost so far: 7.0 lb.    Still to go: 0 lb.    Diet followed poorly.
