Once a month blog update

While on the cross-trainer at the YMCA, I had a number of thoughts:

--I have enjoyed very much getting to know the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, also known as Will and Kate.  Kate is lovely and always dresses in interesting clothes.  However, I am concerned that she doesn't eat enough.  Perhaps I'll send her a note advising that she try a plate of fish and chips once in a while.

--For some odd reason I am interested in seeing the final Harry Potter movie.  I have seen the first one but no others, nor have I read any of the books after the first one.  Will this hamper my enjoyment of what is sure to be the summer blockbuster?  And what exactly is a blockbuster?

--I wrote recently about being the world's worst gardener.  Well, I've struck again.  My beautiful, overloaded peach tree has gone from having a lovely vase shape to looking like an beat up old alley tree after the loss of 2 big branches and several smaller ones.  Peaches get heavy.  And on my farmette, they go from rock hard to moldy in a very short time.  So I have a smelly pile of peach-laden branches in my driveway, and hundreds of moldy peaches hanging on the tree.  The birds love it, as do the squirrels.  Cardinals especially like the tasty treats.  So I guess I am not a total failure.

--While I am forbidden to write about politics, or discuss them at home, I do think the debt ceiling (not a real issue) impasse could easily be settled with a rousing game of baggo and a case of beer.  Maybe some Route 11 potato chips.  Umm delicious.

--The reason I am thinking about potato chips is that hubby and I are on the Weight Watchers eating plan.  Sadly, Route 11 potato chips, nor any other brands, are on this eating plan.

--I have now moved well beyond what I thought about on the cross trainer so I better wrap this up.

One final thought:  USA women rule!!
