Betsy the cow and my granddaughter Abbie at the 4-H barn.  Below:  Me with Betsy ....The kids couldn't help celebrate my  birthday (60 YIKES!) because Betsy had to be taken to the 4-H barn.
Not to be outdone by a cow, I decided to go for a Kodak moment.  And besides, Abbie is just so darned cute with that big old heifer!


Betsy even turned away from me.  Guess she didn't want to celebrate with me either.  LOL

My son said it's my "before and after" picture.

Some people might not support my WLS decision. 
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

Well, happy birthday! Your granddaughter is adorable! I hope once the livestock was handled you had a proper birthday!

 I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

My office had  a party for me.  The menu included:

Ice cream cake from DQ, Peanut butter bars, cookies, nuts, watermelon and grapes. 

And yes, I ate a little bit of everything.  Then DH and I went to supper before we headed to the fairgrounds. 

The funny thing is, my son and his family don't live on a farm. A good friend of theirs does, and Abbie has always loved going to their farm and helping with the livestock.  So Bill asked her if she wanted to raise one of his calves for 4-H.  She is in heaven!  She's our little cowgirl ..loves horses too.  But then she's also an incredible basketball and softball player....then is also a girly girl and a little too boy crazy for my liking.  She's quite a diverse child.

 wow, ice cream cake sounds wonderful!! but I would get sick if I ate too much, ice cream doesn't like me any more.

Happy Birthday!!!  you look great and so does Betsy. it's wonderful your granddaughter had this opportunity.




once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

 size 8, life is great

Oh gawd I wish ice cream didn't like me!  I did get a small piece and a piece of the pb bars too.  Now I'm having to detox from the sugar....I knew it would happen, but I did it anyway.  Oh well, tomorrow is another day.  I worked extra hard on the treadmill today and hopefully burned off some of it.

 I don't gain when I got off on sugar ( and more often, grease & salt a la fritos!) but I feel awful, that's for sure.

Yes, my son gets his sense of humor from me, so I guess I can't complain. lol

And yes, the sleeve is a wonderful thing.  I think I look older since I've lost the weight, but I'll take the older look for the younger body.

Thanks for the BD wishes!

I love county fair season. Our fair was a week ago when it was really really hot. I think you'll have a little better weather this week.

Your granddaughter is awfully cute. And you're looking mighty good yourself.
