Food, Folks, and Fun

Had a great day today! Went down past Springfield to a family reunion at my Uncle George and Aunt Gwen's house. They have been hosting this for the past 4 or 5 years (usually the first Sunday in August) and I look forward to it every year. It seemed as though the only time we saw each other was at someone's funeral, so my Aunt decided to do something about it!! My mom's family is very large. There are 21 first cousins and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. And to think it all started with TWO people!!

I did really well with my eating today. I took 3 dishes that were Weight Watcher friendly and also took a Boca burger to cook on the grill and a 1 point bun. Donna brought one low point salad (Deviled Lettuce...yummm) and a low-fat Jello cake. This way I was able to eat "like I was at a reunion" and still stay in my points! I was full AND I had about 10 points left for the day. NOW THAT'S SATISFACTION!

Me, Rae, Lorah, and Donna are going to go see Mamma Mia on Monday. Rae and I have already been once. WE LOVED IT! If you like ABBA, then you should check it out.

Well, it's been a long day and I am off to bed. Keep on posting your comments! Also, if anyone is looking for some type of Weight Watcher friendly recipe, leave me a posting and I will see if I can hlep you out.

Later
