The weather is fabulous!

We have been granted some beautiful skies, sunsets and 
mountain views over the past week.
The pictures just don't do justice..
The temperatures allow for some thin ice in the shade
and wonderful fresh, crisp air in the sunshine.





Meanwhile, in the house, Romi lets her presence be known at all possible moments:)




On a total side note, I have gained immense respect for all those
who watch their consumption and set their minds to dieting.
WOW. 
Having never dieted in my life, and taking on some 'dumb' :)
challenge/competition with friends, I only now understand the
commitment to watching what and how much you eat.
But, the veggie/fruit juicer New Years gift is coming in handy,
the meals are getting healthier, and the chips and chocolates
are reserved for kids and lunches:)
It's not all bad!

The funniest part so far was-since it is a 'couples diet' and Nathan is in
as well-him being the techie, go-go-go guy that he is, he downloaded
an app for his iPhone which tracks everything you eat and
counts calories for you, etc etc..
Well, he started entering all the data one day,
and after realizing what a pain it was, he quit and tried a different app.
He got an email the next morning.
'YOU ARE SERIOUSLY LACKING
IN NECESSARY NUTRIENTS AND CALORIES.
YOU NEED TO EAT IMMEDIATELY SINCE YOU ARE
AT 600 CALORIES AND YOUR NEEDS ARE 2500 PER DAY
BLAH BLAH BLAH'
Hilarious:)

  2. Well, you see.. some years back, we met a hippie type curious mix of a couple (not going to mention any names, but...:)and due to the female half of that couple being so concerned about our weight issues here at the Castle, she suggested (for moral support reasons) they would challenge us to a couples diet and compete for some unknown wonderful prize..
