At Home In Packers Country

Okay, we have the Jersey Shore here, and Tales From the Hilltop, so I thought I would throw in my location for a change of pace. Packers, in case you are unaware, is an NFL American Football team located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Some of you know me, and know I'm an avid Packers fan, and with preseason starting this week, with the first game against the Tennessee Titans, football season is starting, and if football season is starting, then it must be fall, right? So, where are the cooler temps. Oh, right, the kids haven't gone back to school yet, the official beginning of fall. Even though by the calendar and the equinox, it's still a month plus from now, September 21st. So, with that said, my day is underway. I woke a few minutes before 3 AM, got everything done on the computer, and left the house by 4:30, arriving at the pool at 4:45, probably sooner, but that's when I looked at the clock in the car. I was in the pool by 5 and in the fitness center by 6:45. The water felt great, and I got a good workout on the leg press and elliptical, before heading to the store for groceries. I'm proud of myself with what I spent on groceries, and they are even put away. I still need to eat, but I'll do that while I'm working my notifications and visiting you. My plans for today include getting more of my book finished, though I might be going out with a friend today. She told me to leave today open. Though, she wasn't in church yesterday, so I'll need to message her on FB to find out what's up. So, that's how my day started. How is yours going? Thanks for reading. Enjoy another picture from the Botanical Gardens.

lol My day began with feeding the cats, which is no easy feat with meds for one and none for the other. Our son stopped by to visit us and the kitties before work. I walked with my friends, went to the gym with my husband, but all we did was laugh, then had lunch in the gym restaurant. Then we took Doodles for a walk in the yard and ate ripe raspberries from our bushes for dessert. I’m taking it easy for the rest of the day, My hubs is out again getting new double kitchen trash containers for our son and us.

@just4him He will be going to the doctor in a week or two. Hopefully, his heart meds will have been working. He's staring at me now. Sigh.....lol It's awesome to pick berries and pop them into the mouth while Doodles hunts.

Yum - fresh off the bush raspberries. You got a lot of exercise, even if it did involve some food in the process. I hope Doodles is doing good.

I knew there would be a post about why you started with this title.. since it is different for your posts. Yay for football season almost being here. And fall, too! You sure are good at following a routine.

I've always liked a routine. Though, I never thought of it before as a routine. Yes, the Packers beat the Titans last night, but being they were behind at the half, it didn't look like they would. Lots of penalties on both sides of the ball in the first half. 31-17

@Courtlynn I'm sure it is a routine, though I never thought about it. Maybe because it's preseason and the games don't count.

Is it because you were out in the garden yesterday for a while? Or is it the weather. Weather can do that too.

That's a lovely picture - it's not a real frog, is it? What with all your swimming and gym work your weight must still be coming down.

No, that frog isn't real. I've lost 32 pounds in the past year, and I'm happy about that. Now, on to the next year.

Looks pretty! It's Friday as I read this. I'll have to check and see how the 49ers and Raiders have been doing in the preseason. I haven't checked! This evening, I have a gig with the Country band. I bought some snow pea seeds yesterday for my Winter planting. That's about it from here.

Thank you. Well, the Pack is 2-2 for preseason. Now on to the opening game on September 9 against the Chicago Bears. It's a night game and should be interesting and good.

I went to the gym. My legs are sore which is strange since it was an upper body workout.
