This is a smorgasbord of fun for various reasons:
The biggest one being, the mother I was, has retired herself and now is coming out to play and take videos and pictures of my adult kids, entertaining themselves. It turns out they will always be kids at heart and I no longer need to be the entertainment center. YAY!
And I have finally made a promised video for Luke and those of you who have asked for exercises to support your back health, since we are all finding ourselves sitting more than usual.
F inding new found treasures
U nbeknownst to me
N ever losing your sense of wonder!
Found the playful elves in Santa’s workshop
Using natural elements to create Santa’s Reindeers:
Women and tools with men who think they rule
Girls are no fools
Tired foreman after supervising the Elfs sleeping with Casian
And Now a workout video because I promised our friend Luke from 365 that I would get him a back video out to help with back pain. He does beautiful photography so visit him when you get time. It’s a about 20 minutes long.
You better watch out and better not pout, because I’ll know if you are sitting watching it or doing it-:)
Thanks so much for stopping in and have a wonderful weekend and make sure you find some fun in whatever you do. You deserve it!

The shelves are too small for this elf 😃
I’ll have to sleep on it.. let’s see the princess and the pea..,. I might have to stick you between my mattress. You and your prince can meet there. 🤣
Hahaha! I’m afraid it’d be suffocating.

Glad you like it Ingrid.. I know right?! I didn’t know what they were up to and I walked into the full blown shop.. They actually amaze me. I like the trio idea!!!! It’s more tips than a workout but I’ll up load a yoga one soon. xo xo Thanks for stopping in.. ❤️ Cindy

So glad you liked it. Oh good, they’re just basic.. lmk what you think of them after you DO Them.. lol Have a gret weekend! ❤️

I love writing and having fun too! Camping is so much fun and exciting! What do you think about camping? No problem at all ma’am! I love reading your posts!
oh yes that’s awesome and camping is amazing!!!! but these days a hike and a good bed is what i love.. lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Oh thanks so much.. I’m following you right? ❤️
Yes! I love camping soo much! The nature around is so soothing! (I’m scared of the insects but the pros are higher!) Ohh! I’ve hiked a little, not much. I would love to go hiking though! Yes you are I think! And I’m following you right?
Nature is the best healer and so much fun! Don’t worry, they don’t eat much 🤣. Oh I think you will love it.. I think we both are.. I will check.. !❤️
Yes I agree! 😂🤣 Alright! Thanks
🙊🐇🕊🦚🦚🦚
It’s so wonderful to talk to you! ❤️
Great video – will come back to it over and over again! Thank you!
Oh so glad you liked it! You’re welcome and glad you could hear it cuz it was a bit faint but then I’m deaf.. lol. xo
I’m really surprised that I’m not deaf considering the volume at which I play music…
That’s lucky.. mine is an inner ear disease I came to find out.. will be getting surgery at some point.. 👏
I am sorry to hear that. I hope everything goes well for you. ❤️
Thanks. but it’s kind of good because the surgery is paid for but the hearing aides aren’t. There are always risks tho like anything..
Nice video and cute cat..
Thank you Swarnali!!! ❤️
This post just put a smile on my face. Its cute and fun. And that video.. you are awesome Cindy.
Oh good Yeshu! Thanks for sharing with me and so glad you like the video! ❤️❤️👏

So glad Akshita, thanks!
I didn’t know you have a youtube channel. Good one Cindy. Have a great weekend ahead.👍
Thanks a lot Tap! They are authentically Cindy as you can see.. ❤️ I will and you too! 😎
Cindy, seeing your family working together to make holiday decorations was wonderful and heartwarming! <3 I guess they're all grown up now and Mom can relax a bit! How nice! How well-deserved! 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Oh thanks so much Cheyrl. This truly was the gift of Covid for me or I would have been on automatic piolet and everyone would have been just fine to carry on the same old way.. Thanks so much.,. it is a nice change. You have a great one as well Cheryl! ❤️ Cindy
Peggy loves to fix things. More than I do. 🙂 And she loves working with tools. We are kind of a 50/50 team. If it has to do with electricity, I do it. If it has to do with plumbing, she’s up. Putting things together is her forte but I handle the heavier things like metal shelving. The list goes on… grin. Watched your video. “Stand and sit up straight, Curt!” Have a great weekend, Cindy. –Curt
You are quite the team Curt!!! That’s awesome. I am the point and shoot and Idea person.. lol. Love that! It never ends I know about that! 🤣🤣 You got it! hahahahha I’m happy to hear that. I gotta get off my arse and get moving.. Thanks for the reminder.. I will you too! ❤️ Cindy
Grin. It’s not that Peggy doesn’t come up with ideas on things I should do…
Give her a pat on the back from me.. lol 🤣
Will do. Grin.
🤣🤗🙏Good deal!

Hi Cindy, It looks like your elves had a great time. Cute videos. I don’t want to disappoint you because it’s almost 11 pm, so I don’t dare play the exercise video out loud. Since you can see me sitting through the computer, I’ll come back tomorrow! Have a great night. 🙂
They sure did and it was quite a fun surprise to find them up their actually. You are too cute.. I think you may like this video for your back. It’s just basic moves but I think you are right.. you best wait till tomorrow.. Thanks for visiting.. I’m winding down too,.🤗🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨🙏
Cindy
My back always needs work. I think everyone who writes needs to exercise their back. The best thing that helped me was acupuncture when it was really bad. Since I quit driving so much, I’ve been much better with just a little exercise. 🙂
Yes, for sure…. I was trying to remember if it was your back or hip,. Accupuncture is really good too for that. I’m glad to here you’re doing better! ❤️🤗🙏
It felt hip, but it was lower back.
aha….. so I remembered correctly! Good you are up moving again! ❤️
Yes, it was at least 8-9 years ago that it was so bad I could hardly get out of our pool without crawling up the steps. I haven’t had any major pain in my back or hip since that time.
Oh good!! Those Memories are good left behind!! So glad you are doing well now! 💕
Thanks, Cindy. Exercise never hurts, though. 🙂
You yes of course Marsha! It keeps the doctor away for sure! 👏👏❤️Cindy
Kitty! <3 <3 <3

You have beautiful children. Looks like everyone had a lot of fun.
Great work out video. Love all the gentle yoga poses. You really do a great job of explaining the anatomy and the benefit. Well done my friend. We can never get too much stretching and your right many of us are sitting more. This was a delightful and beautifully done post. Yea!!! I am going to do some stretching today you have motivated me. I walk and ride my recumbent bike but I have not been stretching. Thanks Cindy. Sending lots of love, joy and peace your way my friend. 💕❤️🙏Joni
Oh Joni, thanks so much. They really do have fun together. Oh I’m glad you like the movements!!!!! We do need it for sure. I’m so gla it otivated you. It’s hard to get it all in, isn’t it. Thank you for the love nd peace. Received gratefully! Thanks for visiting also, it means a lot! ❤️
Your family is really beautiful. You must feel so grateful. It looked like everyone was having such a blast. Please be careful my friend and stay safe. Love ya Joni 🤗💕❤️
Yes, it’s true! They do get along great.. I’m revisiting the holiday gathering which has them all self quarantining even away from their significant others.. We shall see. It’s such a gift.. I wish I had with a sibling. ❤️
Wouldn’t that be wonderful. Although once your children get old enough they can become your friends I think. Sending love. What a blessing your children are so close. You must have done an excellent job raising them. 🙏🤗💕❤️ love ❤️ Joni
Yes, and I will wait for that day for sure.. It’s actually quite a gift and when I get them alone it’s sometimes like that. Thanks, I just demaded respect so I can’t take credit but I appreciate that. I must have done something right.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ xo
I’ll say you sure did my friend. Love you 💕❤️🤗
