Family Reunion In Sept.

I am happy that we will have a family reuinion on Sept. It will be great to get everyone together. Today everyone has a busy schedule , so it pays to plan well in advance. Today I exercised and made a painting for my grandson's girlfriend. I hope she will like it. A very hot day, so we watched a movie at home and enjoyed the air system.

Fancy Nancy Says: Be careful of the hot sun. It is not your friend!

Family Reunion

Today I sent E-mails to my family to try and schedule a family reunion before it is time to relocate . Everyone has busy schedules, so I decided that since it is important to plan the time will in advance, I just wrote E-mails trying to find a date and time for us all to connect.

As families get larger, it is tough to carve out time for us all to connect, Nevertheless, since I feel it is very imporatant to stay connected, and since we so enjoy times together, now is the time to plan a Family Reunion.

Fancy Nancy Says: Families need to carve out the time to connect. It is fun and important.

So Glad To Learn I Can Get Comments

Today for the first time, I was happy to get a comment online. With the new format of this blog, I did not know if it was possible. Thanks Marcia for your reply. How is your blog doing? Fancy Nancy

Learning About E-Books

Tonight I went to the library and heard a very good speaker on how to produce E-books. Also, I shared a flyer about my program on writing at the Peace Dale Library. I think folks will attend since it is free. Getting students to pay for seminars and workshops is not easy. It is better if you get the library to hire you. In any case I will meet lots of new people, and that is always fun for me.


Fancy Nancy Says: I like new adventures

Fun Monday, Dancing, Yoga, Painting

On Mondays, I now attend a zumba class. We have a new teacher and she keeps us busy--no rest from zumba. Next yoga follows. A nice slowdown to rest and relax. Finally, I went to painting and produced another picture for my grandson. He likes my pictures, so I will give it to him. Tonight I will go to learn about how to produce an E-book.


Fancy Nancy Says: Learn something new each day.

Comments Have a New System

I am not sure how this works, but so far I have not gotten any comments. It says that parts of this site will not work. Does anyone out there know how to have the comments come throught? Need your help. Summer has arrived in Rhode Island.


Fancy Nancy Says: Some sites can be confusing.

Love to Hear From My Readers

It is always fun to read comments from my readers. Do write to me and love to hear how you are doing. How did you hear about this blog? Keep in touch and keep writing. Communication is the name of the game.


Fancy Nancy Says: Communication is the answer to many quesitons.

My Blog Has Many New Readers

Every day this week I have had new readers for my blog. This is exciting. I do not know how they learn about the blog, but welcome to all. I have been busy with classes, teaching, and planning some fun trips for the summer and the fall. If you do reserach there are some good deals out there. I have been researching independent living facilities and many of them invite you to eat there, and even stay over. A really good deal since there is no charge. It is all part of their marketing.

Fancy Nancy Says: Research on any subject definitely pays off.

Zumba, Yoga, Painting and Rest

This morning was non-stop zumba class. The teacher gives no breaks. After 45 min. I left and then returned for yoga. This afternoon I painted a pciture and when I came home I was really tired. A very busy weekend and tonight I just want to lay low.

Fancy Nancy Says: A hectic pace can wear you out. Rest when you can!

Father's Day Was Fun

Today I was the crasher and enjoyed seeing my kids and a Father's Day celebration. My son-in-law made a great lunch and I want the details of how to make what he served. My daughter ran fun games. Had a nice walk and then for dinner . The weather has been cool, but in spite of that lots of folks were at the beach in bathing suits -- too cold for me.

Fancy Nancy Says: Enjoy each day, you might as well.

Life Can Be a Rollercoaster

A fun surprise birthday lunch was just great to see my family. Tonight was a bit scary. I had a pepper roll at a restaurant and all of a sudden I felt my throat close. I had an allergic reaction to the pepper. Never did that happen before. My friend suggested I try to breathe through my nose . That seemed to work.


Fancy Nancy Says: Allergies can really cause problems.

Teaching and More Rain

Today I had just one student. She is doing an interesting project based on a letter from a family member. After exercise it was time to market and a nap. Had the shingles shot yesterday, but so far no bad reaction. Hope it works to prevent the shingles.

Fancy Nancy Says: Get protective shots if you think it makes good sense.

Family Fun

We had a great time visiting family in New York .We enjoyed playing bridge, a basketball game, dining out and a visit to a wonderful museum. Even though we were only there on Sat. and Sun. it was wonderful to see family. My grandson is in a basketball league so it was fun to watch him. His team did not win, but they played well. He is an excellent bridge player and loves the game.


Fancy Nancy Says: What a treat to enjoy family fun in New York.

Fun Times with Family

The nicest part of being back in Rhode Island is connecting with my great family. Last night we had a dinner with my daughter and her husband. Tonight we shared ice cream with my son and his family. It is so much fun to have the opportunity to see them all. This weekend we will travel to New York to visit my other son.

Fancy Nancy Says: Spending time with family is the highlight of this week. Love to all.

Rain Rain go Away

Another cold rainy day in Rhode Island. Taught one student today, a lovely lady. She has doen some interesting writing. Then exercised and went to a consignament shop and got some dry clothes, since I was soaked from the rain. Glad I could exercise indoors since it poured most of the day. Hope my classes increase , but based on the weather one never knows. If this is summer, the beaches will be empty. Tomorrow will attend a hearing meeting in Rhode Island.

Fancy Nancy Says: New England weather changes constantly. You can go from winter to summer overnight.

Rhode Island is rainiy and cold.

Is this summer? Today I had on my wnter coat, hat and scarf. It was cold and rainy. Had a nice visit with my dear friend from Ca. who is here briefly. Hope the sun returns and warms us up. Tried zumba dancing today. Very fast ! Then slowed down with yoga.

Fancy Nancy Says: Where is the sun?

More Facebook Fun

One great feature of Facebook is that it reminds y ou of birthdays. I heard from lots of folks today who sent me greetings on Facebook. I appreicatie all the nice remarks and in addition it reminds me of the birthdays of my family and friends. Today was a rain day, but I exercised indoors and played my racquetball alone. I always win. Tonight to celebrate my birthday we will go to a show. Birthdays are lots of fun.

Fancy Nancy Says: Be glad when you have another birthday.
