I'm Still Walking


This is a really nice time of year to walk along the Beach Boardwalk. This afternoon I had off and I've been waiting all week to do the Beach walk so I grabbed my two dogs and set off. They were so excited to be doing this walk again. They kept up a great pace only stopping when I stopped to take pictures. Here are a couple. First is of the Beach Boardwalk with the ocean and Pismo Beach in the background. The second is my "boys", Rico and Oscar Mayer. 


My goal is to keep walking for 30 days and hope that it becomes a habit again.

There's been another development that is not so positive. I guess I've been doing to much blogging lately or maybe it's just the ergonomics of my computer work. Either way, this morning I woke up with a VERY sore wrist. 


By the end of today, it was so painful I had to run out and buy a wrist support. I'm hoping the inflammation will subside over the next couple of days. Until then, I hope all of you have a great weekend.

Coffee T. Rice House

Isn't this a beautiful Victorian Style home? You can't see all of it because of the shrubbery and trailer park at the base of the house. It made me curious about the history of the house so I looked it up. Here is what I found. This is the historical information I found written  HERE . Coffee T. Rice House Oceano, California History and Description: Coffee T. Rice was a wealthy financier, with enterprises throughout the State, who migrated from Ohio to San Francisco. When a railroad was surveyed through this area he envisioned an industrial center here and acquired various properties close to the right of way. He introduced celery production to the area. Rice started construction on his home in 1885 using the same craftsmen that were working on the Pitkin House. The house originally had 20 rooms and was painted yellow. Surrounded by well-kept grounds with various trees and a sundial, the house was approached by an oval driveway and a stone-pillared entryway. The grounds also in...

Norwegian Pancakes (Norska Pannekaken)

Every culture has its pancake and this is the Norwegian version, a very light, crepe-like pancake that goes with just about anything. These "pancakes" are light and eggy and go with both sweet and savory fillings.

Living on Less.....WEIGHT, Part 1

It's not just about the money. Living on Less can also mean having less "stuff" cluttering up our homes, less stress and drama, and dragging around a whole lot less weight.  The topic of the day... What are YOU "Weighting" for? I think I've always had a weight problem. I was active enough as a teen and young adult to keep the pounds in range. But when I started having kids, I put on weight with each one. In 2001, and 230 lbs., I'd finally had enough and opted for Gastric Bypass Surgery so I would never have to think about being fat ever again and yes, I'm using the word FAT. I like to eat though, and only ended up losing a total of 35 lbs. with gastric bypass. Don't get me wrong, if you do it right, you MIGHT not have the same results I had, but a little dixie cup size meal was just not enough food for me. I would cry and be angry at every gathering of people and food. Let's just say eating was a big part of my life, so m...
