Who would've thought when we got married, Dave and I would be living on a small, okay, very small ranch (three acres worth) in South Central Iowa years later? Not me, that's for sure! But here we are living on our little pony ranch. We no longer have any ponies, but we used to have three, so we, okay I did, but Dave agreed, suitably named the place, "Ain't Many Acres Pony Ranch." We love it here.

Dr. Martin Luther King Day
Let us all remember and not only dream of the day when we will all be treated equal, but make it happen.

Back on the Bandwagon Again
Yep, I like thousands of others, gained weight over the holidays, so I'm back to keeping track of what I eat and exercising more.
Yea right, me exercise more,sure. Where's a sarcastic smilie when you need one?
Actually I do intend to exercise, I just haven't started yet, but I have been getting into the habit of walking more, even around the house, which considering the temps have been pretty low, that's about all I've been willing to do.
It's a start though and just keeping track of what I eat is a huge help. Unfortunately though, over the holidays I ate a lot of sweets and it's really been hard for me to shake the habit. I'm trying, okay, not hard enough, but I will shake it eventually. I did before, so I can do it again.
Are you trying, or have you been successful in losing weight? If so, what is working or worked for you?

We're Having a Freeze Wave, An Artic Freeze Wave...
The Temperature ain't rising, it is a bit surprising...
Well, it is winter after all, but still, this is a bit too cold. Some schools in the state had even called school off a couple days ago because the temperature wasn't expected to go above zero. Now that my friends, is cold.
As far as snow, we haven't gotten a lot, an inch or two here and an inch or two there. But with temperatures as cold as they've been, it's best that we don't get a lot of snow, because to top off the really cold temps, we've also had a lot of wind. We've had winds between 15 and 25mph with gusts as high as 37, so it's bad enough being out in that, blowing snow would make it all that much worse.
Would you believe that tomorrow is supposed to get up to 23ºF and people are looking forward to it!
Me, I'm glad the days are getting longer.

Party Like it's 2015, or Not...
Happy New Year, everyone. Hope your first day of 2015 has been good.
Me, I spent it taking the tree down and reorganizing the decorations. I still have to take the outside lights down, but they're only on the three bushes out front, so it won't take too much time. I'll do that tomorrow. Saturday we're supposed to get snow and after that bitter cold with wind chills as low as 20 to 30 below zero. There is no way I want to be out in that taking down lights.
But other than that, today has been really relaxed. Dave made a ham for dinner which turned out great. Now I'm sitting here in my chair watching Big Bang Theory.
Good night everyone. Have a good night.
