I can't believe it's been over two months since I blogged.. I was going to do better.. Maybe I just had so much going on that I didn't have time.. I will say it was a much faster summer than I thought it would be.. But I did keep myself busy.. I have to stay busy or I'll get bored and if I'm bored I'm restless. So I was at the gym 5 days a week with 7 classes and no it didn't help lose weight but it does keep me active and the joint stiffness eased up..
Of course I played with my girls all summer.. They are as cute as ever.
My Mary Kay business is off and running.. I have enjoyed working it and meeting others women.. It's been a lot of fun.. I do have a website so I'll share that with you guys and if anyone ever needs any product and you don't work with a consultant I'd love to have you order with me.. If you have friends or family that need Mary Kay please feel free to give them my name, number and website.
My website is www.marykay.com/drucker5
I'm hearing that people are starting to arrive in Mission already.. We are tentatively leaving here (NV) on the 24th of Oct.. As always that's subject to change.
Once we get on the road I'll try to keep you updated.. There's some that like to know where we're at each day or week.

Staying Busy
I can finally say I have plenty to keep me busy here.. Remember last post and I said I was going to a Mary Kay party.. We'll I went and then I decided to start selling Mary Kay.. I hope this is going to be lots of fun and a good way to met more people.
I had my grand opening today and it went pretty good. My director and team leader were here to help me and show me the ropes and we got to make up Steph which was fun.
So if anyone out there needs product or wants to try it out let me know I'll be happy to assist you.
Yesterday a group of us from the gym did a girls day out. We drove into Vegas for a late lunch and a movie.. had a blast..
I drove and Steph went with me along with a gym friend, Nancy (another Nancy friend) and we got out of the movie about 7 the rest wanted to go to Kohl's and normally I would too but it was already so late so we just headed back to Pahrump, we'll it was a good choice cause within about 15 minutes a bad thunderstorm moved through and there were 26 reported car crashes (no one here can drive in the rain cause it happens so rarely) anyway there were 70MPH winds, pouring rain, roads flooding, power outages.. The rest of the crew were stuck in Vegas waiting for the roads to clear out and didn't get home till midnight.. (but they were all safe) So glad we didn't get caught in all that mess. Looks like Vegas is getting another storm tonight. The only rain we've had here in three and a half months has been sprinkles. Oh Wait Reid just said the rain that's been hovering over the mountain looks like it's heading our way.. Gonna go out and watch it happen.

it's been awhile
I haven't updated in a while but I'm not sure anyone reads this so maybe no one noticed.
We've been back in Pahrump for three months now.. I'm happy to say I'm staying busy so the time hasn't gone by too slowly.
I've met a few people and that's made it more fun for me.
I joined the gym April 1 and go to 7 classes a week so the ladies that are at the gym are the ones I know. We've done a couple of things outside of the gym so they are including me as one of their own.
One of the aerobic instructors had a luncheon at her house in early June and we played games afterwards.. Someone said it's good job security for her to have luncheons so we'll need to go back to the gym, (Ha). Today one of the ladies is having a Cupcake and color party at the Chamber. She's a Mary Kay lady and her director is in town so they put on this event. I'm going to check it out later. When there's a birthday in the aerobics group we go out for lunch too.
Steph and I are bowling once a week. Our scores are getting better. She will spend next week moving back into our house.. Her lease is up Aug 31 and she'd planned to move back in in Sept so she'll been here during the winter when we were gone but the owner of the house she's renting is wanting to sell the house and offered to let her out of her lease early so we didn't see any reason for her not to go ahead and move back in.. Molly is older now so we hope there's not too much drama with her cat, Phoenix and Molly..
We spend about 6 hrs each Sunday driving into Vegas for Church.. it's a long day but we enjoy it.. We stop for lunch usually and we've found a very good Mexican place called Super Mex.. Very tasty. I've also started volunteering in the nursery and I made 10 dozen cookies for VBS..I actually make 13 dozen but one was for Reid and one for Steph and one extra for replacement cookies in case some broke (some did)
Some friends from Mission passed through town Memorial Day week.. Angie & Rick and Deb & Phillip.. so we had happy hour on our patio with them.. It was so good to see people we know.
The pool is finally warming up and usable.. With our temps hitting 113 the next three days the pool will get used by me.. Reid is in it nightly.
I guess I've caught you back up if anyone's interested.

Visit With Mom
Mom arrived on April 30 and we've had a wonderful visit and it's not over yet. She'll be here till May 14th. Molly has a new best friend. Her favorite place to lay is in Mom's lap.
This morning Mom's not feeling great and doesn't wont Molly in her lap and Molly is heartbroken.. She looks so sad. She's moping around the house with her sad face.. I have to leave soon so I don't want to start her to playing and get her worked up but when I get back we'll play some and that will make her feel better. (I'm talking about Molly not Mom)
We've had a fun week of visiting, playing Yahtzee (Steph too) watching the trial, going shopping, eating out, Mom's read some and I've crocheted so it's been a full week. I've still manage to squeeze in my trips to the gym too.
Our weather has been crazy.. It's only been in the 70-80's this week with a few days dropping into the 60's.. Areas around town has had rain and even some hail. We've only had sprinkles around here. This weekend it's getting back into the 90's and that's where I like it.
No real plans for the rest of today and tomorrow, We've talked about grilling burgers but no set plans yet. Sunday we're heading into Church then Mother's Day lunch out..

Time for Mom's visit
Mom is making her way cross country tomorrow for her two week visit with us.. It should be fun, as much fun as the two of us can handle. We hit the 100 mark today but it's dropping back into the 80's on Wed for a few days. I don't think she'll like those temps but we'll be inside most of the time.
Another week of the same.. My weeks are pretty consistent. We take the drive into Vegas on Sunday for Church and we stopped at JCPenney's on the way home and then had a salad for lunch..
Today was the gym, Walmart for a few groceries, then my pedicure..I love to have my tired feet pampered.. I've heard it's good for your over all health to have healthy pampered feet so that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
The girls are as precious as ever. Lady doesn't get all bent out of shape when Molly is too close anymore and they both share the bed on the occasional nap day..

What to say what to say
When we're moving around there's a lot to say cause each couple of weeks it's usually a different town or activity going on but when I'm staying put for the entire summer I don't want to repeat the same old stuff so I'll try to keep my weekly updates interesting. April seems to be going by pretty quickly.. It's been a much cooler April than last year that's for sure but I believe we're heading into the hot time of the season.. The next 10 days are calling for mid 80's to low 90's.. That's my comfort zone.. I'm usually good till it hits the 100 degree mark then I get warm..
I'm trying to get over to the gym 4-5 times a week, to get out of the house and keep myself busy and limber.. I also like to walk whenever I can out at the lake. Once we hit 100 I wont be able to walk to much unless I go real early (not happening) or real late. I can walk on the treadmill at the gym but I'd rather be outside enjoying the sunshine and breeze.
Steph and I went bowling last week and had a great time so I see us doing that more and more this summer. If I could get Reid to go with me that would be fun too.. Sprinkle in pet grooming's, color therapy for me (aka: wash that gray right out of my hair) and a pedicure and that's pretty much my month.
We've also found a Church that we like in Vegas so our Sundays have been busy with driving around the mountain for Church, stopping for lunch or running errands then heading back to the valley and the girls..
Mom's coming for a visit next week so we'll be entertaining her. I see some competitive games of Yahtzee coming our way.
That's all for now.

Settling In
We've been back over a week and I guess we're getting settled in. The weather, the main reason we "settled" in this part of the country has been beautiful.. Sunny days with cool nights.. It's door and window opening weather where no heat or air is needed right now.
Reid seems to love it here so I try to keep busy so I don't get too bored..
I joined the gym again and I'm taking an aerobic class that meets three times a week, a Zumba class that meets twice a week and the there a PACE program that I can do at my on "pace" it's very similar to the curves concept (they just can't us the name "curves") I'm getting out of the house daily doing those activities.. Of course the girls keep me busy too so if I'm at home I'm usually tossing a ball for Molly. In the evenings I have Braves baseball to cheer for and I have my crocheting and reading too. Sounds like I'm busy so why does it feel like I have so much free time. Steph stops by at least once on her days off and I give her our left overs so on her work days she'll have something other than fast food to eat. It works out pretty good since we don't eat a lot of leftovers any more the food doesn't go to waste.
I guess that's all I have to talk about for now.. The sun is out and my patio is empty so I guess I'll go set outside for a bit.. I want to go to aerobic at noon but Reid and Lonnie are installing a swamp cooler (similar to an air conditioner but not really) so I might be needed for puppy patrol while they are doing it.. I'll go do the pace later if I have to miss the noon class..
chat later.
