Olympic Fun!



Had a fun time down in Lynndyl this past Friday night. My friend had an Opening Ceremony party. While the athletes were coming in, we would eat food from the country that was being represented(of course we did not have food for each country, but it was fun to anticipate the next treat!). It made watching the Opening Ceremony even more spectacular. Those Chinese sure did an amazing job, quite the show!

It is pretty cool to be able to have The Olympics readily available to me thanks to my Dish Network. I have been recording events and also watching them in real time. Both is good, but of course it is fun to be able to fast forward commercials again! Last night a couple friends came over and we had dinner together and then watched the games. We got to watch Michael Phelps get gold in the 400 Meter Medley. I like him. It is fun to watch swimming. Men's gymnastics were also on and I am so amazed by what they are able to do. They are so very strong! Dinner was excellent by the way. I grilled burgers and we also had fresh corn on the cob as well as fresh tomatoes(I love little side of the road veggie and fruit stands) and for dessert we had peach pie. Pie girl(MBC) makes wonderful pies and I am always so thankful when she shares with me!

It was my first night actually sleeping in my house since being back and it was kinda weird. I slept on the couch until about 5 a.m. and then headed to my bed. I do not know why it is weird. Maybe it is hard to come back to being alone when I spent two months with people. Do not get me wrong, I love this place. My house is awesome. So quiet and just cozy. I am a lucky girl. The only thing I am not excited about is the fact that my swamp cooler is not up and running and it is hot, hot, hot! Today it will be 90. Which means it will be 90 in my house. Hopefully, next week the cooler will be up and running. I do not like the hot! I think the a/c is the only thing I am missing from my last place. SIGH.

Not much happening today. Just going to Church and then eating fish. I am trying to eat a little healthier these days. I hope your day is fabulous. If you would like to see more pictures of Michael Phelps here is the address where I found the picture at the beginning of the post: http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/olympics/bal-phelps-photogallery,0,4605337.photogallery
