Death/ Weight/ Reunion/ Bday

Mrs. Bettye Mossack
the mother 
of a classmate.

Mrs. Mossack left this world
the other day. Two friends and I
went out to the funeral home to 
be with Pam, her daughter for 
visitation. 


Remember this pic.


Well this is after I left...I mean I 
lost 70 lbs!


But of course the whole 70 did not come
from the belly area! haha

Some came from the face....
and that chin!


My journey started just at a yr ago.
I weighed in at 210, lost 11 before
surgery. On Feb 18 I had the gastric bypass 
and dropped the rest. 

Another 15 to 20 lbs and I will be
happy. 

If I couldn't feel any older
I attended a meeting this 
evening to help plan my class
40th reunion!
OUCH!

So it is set for July 14 which
gives us a few months of planning.
A lot of the class members 
are on fb so Danny posted this
pic as a teaser for all of our
classmates!

Back row is Charles, Danny, Me on my knees
Teri and the lady holding the 
camera taking the USIE is Cindy.
Cindy is actually married to 
Danny. These folks are all class
representatives, I on the other hand
was not a class rep. but since I am 
retired and have time they asked
if I would like to be a part of
the planning. 

I am honored. 

Also....Cindy and I grew up 
as good friends just a couple
of house from each other.



Tomorrow my dad would be 90
yrs old if he was still with us. 
He has been gone almost
31 yrs now. I was pregnant
with my son at that time. 
Happy Bday Dad.


Thank you for stopping in,

I just realized when I saw the "78" sitting on the table that my 40th will be in 2 years. I haven't gone to one in ages. I'm not even in contact with anyone I went to school with

I'm sorry about your friend's mother; she was a beautiful person.

You've done so well in your weight loss journey. My hat is off to you, Pam.

I've gone to all of the high school reunions; we had the 50th a few years ago. It was always nice to see old friends. :)

You look great, Pam. My friend had the bypass surgery about 15 or 16 years ago- lost 100# and has kept just about all of it off all these years. I know that is a struggle for some to maintain but she got counseling along the way, too, to deal with the emotional aspect of eating. I am so proud of her and I know you must be feeling pretty proud of yourself, too.

Have fun with the class reunion-planning and all. xo Diana

Hi Pam :) Beautiful photos and memories and beautiful YOU. Losing that much weight is a big accomplishment, I've done it too. Don't you feel great? But...I'm sorry about the loss of your mom's friend.

My dear Pam, first of all I am truly sorry for your friend's mother. What a beautiful lady she was!

And speaking of beautiful ladies...just look at you! You look simply stunning, before AND after, if I might say so. You have such a lovely smile. Congratulations on all you've accomplished.

Hugs to you!

The Rest of Today

After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Well, what was I thinking? HAHA After laying on my couch in so much pain all summer, I knew moving closer to  Amber was the thing to do, The timing of finding my dream home was off. However, Two days of Open House and I have a contract. Selling as is, minor repairs.  Inspection to be done after  the work in the  den and BR is done. The process of getting here while just a couple of weeks of healing was a challenge. My daughter was a big  help weekend before  last. I just collect to many projects that I  never get around to and that has to stop. I have to say, last time  was easier, I had moved into my childhood home before I sold the other, so it was empty when sold. EASIER. I hate moving so close to Christmas but it is  what it is. Fall seems to have made it to us the past week. I am surprised, we were losing so many leaves due to no rain,  glad to have some color. In between packing, cleaning, repairs and life in general, I have  managed to do a few things. I taught a paint class an
