Thursday 6-4-26 Paper Crafting, Workout, Fawn & More

 

Mostly Cloudy Day

We had a fun day. 

The weather was a little weird. We had wind, rain and sunshine. The morning temperature was 72 degrees with wind and clouds. The high was 88 degrees. In the afternoon we had a rain shower come through for a couple of hours. At times it rained hard.

We had a fawn in our backyard for a long time. We noticed it was bedded down about 9:00 am and mom came back for the fawn at 2:00 pm. The poor fawn stayed in the grass while the rain came down. When mom came back she was in Jason's backyard and the fawn went to her. The fawn was very happy to see her. While the fawn was nursing it wiggled it's tail. We also have a family of hawks hanging around. There's three of them, we assume one is a young one. We have been watching them for the last week or so. Sometimes we hear them talking to each other with their screeches. I love having open yards for the wildlife can roam back and forth.

Larry started the day out by reading. Today he finished a book he started yesterday. He said it was a great book even though it was a little weird.

Relaxing with a book

I spent the morning playing my games. I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Easy Street Mini of 5 games. It took me 11 minutes and 43 seconds to complete, which put me in 20th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends. In the evening I played Angry Birds 2.

In the afternoon I worked out for an hour and a half using the Wii Fit, Gold's Gym and Synth Riders. 

I worked out for 30 minutes with the Wii Fit. I did a prepared workout for 27 minutes and a couple more games in Training Plus for 3 minutes. The Prepared Workout was two Aerobics (Advance Step and Super Hula Hoop), three Strength Training (Single-Leg Twist 10 reps, Lungs 10 reps and Rowing Squats 45), three Yoga (Palm Tree, Half Moon and Deep Breathing) and four Training Plus (Perfect 10, Rhythm Kung-Fu, Bird's Eye View and Island Cycling for 27 minutes. The other three minutes I did two games on the Train Plus, which were Balance Bubble Plus and Perfect 10.

Larry bought a couple of items from Dreaming Tree to make. He downloaded the projects. Once he downloaded them he had to modify the files to the size he wanted to make them. Then he decided on what paper to use. He doesn't have any patterned paper so he had to make the paper. Now he's ready to begin his paper projects.

I played ten games of pinball. I played five on the mini cabinet, which were Godzilla, Mission Impossible, New Good Goffers!, The Big LeBowski and Theatre of Magic. While playing Godzilla I became high score #6 and Mission Impossible I became high score #2. I played five games on the big cabinet, which were Creature From The Black Lagoon, Dark Chaos, Red & Ted' Road Show, Transformers and Willy Wonka. While playing Transformers I became the Grand Champion. I had good day of playing pinball.

In the evening we watched YouTube videos. When Larry went to bed I watched the second Star Trek movie called Star Trek Into Darkness and Men In Black II from our collection of movies. I ended up doing 6,000 steps.

I continued working on my jigsaw puzzle of The Blue Truck in between doing this and that.

   

  

Wednesday 6-3-26 Paper Crafting, Dancing with Dave, Workout & More

 

Lets dance and have fun

I hope everyone had a great Wednesday. We just hung around the house and had fun.

Larry finished his book. He did a paper crafting project. Our caller John Kephart is celebrating his 50th year of calling. So Larry made him a card. It took a bit because he hasn't been paper crafting for awhile. The card came out excellent.

I usually have three virtual square dances on Wednesday but two were cancelled. Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly Plus was cancelled because she had to be in court for her work and wasn't sure she would be back in time. Ett McAtee cancelled her Weekly C1 because she had to take her computer into the shop to be worked on. The only one I attended was Dave Eno's Weekly C1/A2 at 6:00 for an hour and a half. Karin Rabe, Greg Moore and Dave Hutchinson showed up to call with Dave. The format was three tips of C1 to 6 dancers, three tips of A2 to 9 dancers and two Trivia questions in between the A2 tips. In each session the first tip was called by Karin Rabe and Greg Moore, second tip was called by Dave Eno and the third tip was called by Dave Hutchinson. During the C1 tips when Dave Eno called he walked us through a couple of C1 moves, which were Single Cross and Wheel and Single Cross Trade and Wheel. When Dave Hutchinson called he walked us through one C2 tip was Shazam. It was fun doing new moves. During the A2 tip Dave Eno called Paula (dancer and new caller)) called a short sequence and did a super job. Dave finished the tip. I had a super time.

I love square dancing

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Medium Mayhem of 27 games. It took me 1 hour, 34 minutes and 15 seconds to complete, which put us in 18th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.
