Costume Party

Happy Tuesday to you! I wanted to share a couple of photos of our daughters' families, as they were preparing to attend a masquerade party this last weekend. Our oldest daughter's family dressed up as whacky campers. 
This is our daughter Kim; the girls all choose an international theme-picking a country and dressing in attire that they felt represented it.
Kim's family; the boys were golfers and the girls all did an amazing job with their costumes. 
This is an annual event at their church and everyone gets very involved in deciding what to wear.
Yesterday was very busy~first my dr. appt., he kept me waiting over an hour. I'm sure this didn't help my blood pressure when they took it numerous times.  He fully believes that if I change my eating habits to a more "plant based" diet and start exercising more, my blood pressure will come down.  For now, no medications which I'm pleased about.  I just don't want any issues cropping up; if in three weeks time, my blood pressure is still high I will have to go on medications.  More walks in my future and also potential bike rides. I can say that when I walk with my neighbor, it is a slow pace.  So I will still walk with her several times a week, but also walk another time or two in the same day.   I know I'm heavier than I should be and that also contributes to my elevated blood pressure. After that, I watched two grandsons and one granddaughter and then last night we had Kim's girls here so mom & dad could go birthday shopping for two kiddos.  We played Quirkle-it is so fun that the girls are getting to that age of playing games. 
Today, I am walking with Kam and then have a hair cut.  When I get home, I will need to start housecleaning for our guest who are coming on Friday.  No stitching today.
It is a new day, filled with new blessings; won't be seek them in your life?
Hugs,
Noreen

  1. That family look great and we hope they all had a nice time. I hope a change in diet and exercise helps lower your BP and you can avoid medication. Have a terrific Tuesday.

  2. What fun for your daughters and families! They look so cute!
    In regards to your comment, we, too enjoy Bethel very much. My much younger friend watched the movie and thought it powerful. She did not care for the music either and pondered the big connection to the group Korn. I'm sure some kids related greatly!
    Enjoy your walks!

  3. Good morning! Love the costumes. That littest golfer is just adorable! Sounds like a fun event. As for the b/p I will pray the extra steps (literally, lol) you are going to take will keep you off medication. Though it seems to me you are one of the most active people I know in our age group already, and you LOOK great weight wise to me, so if you are carrying to much weight sure can't tell. Hope your day is a good one!

  5. what a fun time for the family - they did a great job with their costumes. We hope you can get your bp under control. Our Dad has to take two different bp meds to keep his down. Enjoy those walks.

  8. It will sound crazy, but try getting off grains for a few weeks and see where your blood pressure goes. Dr Oz is a heart surgeon and he has been discussing it recently on his show. Good luck.
