We have a horse, getting outdoors, medical and house projects.

I have been neglectful in keeping my blog updated. I cannot even blame being busy as there really has not been much going on since our vacation to visit Ben in Florida. I have pretty much been hanging out at home. There have been a few fun activities, some work to be done, and some much needed (well not really, but let's just say it's needed) relaxation. 

One very exciting news that has happened and I may have mentioned this previously, but Mark purchased a race horse with some of his buddies from work. This precious beast is named Kisses from Above, and one wonderful surprise day in March I got the opportunity to visit with him (Actually 2xs).

Mark and I decided on a day out and about to the Casino, but he had a surprise. A visit with KFA. 

Kisses from Above is a harness horse and he had been training for racing this spring. Isn't he precious?

I am super excited to see him run this spring/summer, and I am so happy for Mark. He has wanted to own a race horse for as long as I can remember. We both have our dream babies now. He has his horse and I have my trailer. 

After our visit with KFA, we went to the golf dome. I am considering taking golf lessons. (I was suppose to start this past week, but things got jumbled.) Mark and I spent the rest of the day gambling. We walked away ahead. We also went to Point Place Casino a few times this month as well. We had dinner in the VIP room and it was delish. At least going to the casino feels somewhat like NY is "normal".

This month has also been home improvement month. I put in the new floor in the bathroom and although I didn't take any pictures, the upstairs bathroom (the master bath) is FINALLY Painted. 

My bathroom has had a swag of paint on it for over 10 years. I finally said ENOUGH and bought some new paint (Grey) and did the whole room in a day. The downstairs still needs it wainscoting, but we are almost done.  Mark and I have several home projects being addressed soon. Goodbye tax refund...

March has been a month of addressing medical. I had my mammy, dental appts, routine medical and my teeth abstracted this month. Still kicking myself for not having my wisdom teeth taken care of years ago. BUT I am all healthy now. We started another healthy diet and added movement. (Below one of my healthy meals)

I went to the local mall and mall walked. I even found a hidden rock.

I had decided to walk Riley every day and I actually did make it a week or so after my teeth recovery was over. But then it got cold again and I got lazy. We did make it to a nice park.

Riley and I stopped for a hike at Clark Reservation State Park, but we didn't get to far. It was icy on the trail and I was sure I was going to fall. So we cut it short and walked along Onondaga Lake Park. Flat and no snow.

And I found a rock on another walk.

I walked with Carol and Brenda one day. Tammy on another. We did a lot of getting outdoors and getting a move on. But like I said it got cold again and I haven't been out in a week.

I visited my parents, and my mother is making curtains for my Casita, which I have not gone in since winter snow buried her and we had to reschedule her inspection appointment. Snow has finally melted and I have a date with my oldest son to do some much needed work on her this coming weekend. I have got to get a move on, we have camping reservations in May.

We celebrated Mark's deceased fathers birthday with another visit to see Kisses from Above, some gaming at the casino and dinner at Pino Bianco. It was a wonderful day. Danny would have certainly enjoyed it. 

This visit we brought carrots, KFA loved them. He is getting so big.

Dinner was INSANLY yummy. We had the meatballs and they were SOOOOO good. 

My meal was Chicken Parm. I have a new favorite place to eat. 

Renee and I celebrated St. Patrick's day with Shamrock shakes after we got our nails done. (I found another hidden rock) 

With a long list of to do's before the month ends, I am catching up on my blog, planning the steps on getting the casita finished, housing projects underway and checking out all of the New NETFLIX series I must watch. It has been pretty cold this week, so I am hoping that the weekend will be warmer (as predicted) and the pup and I can get back outdoors for some walking. Till the next adventure. (If this is what we call adventure. TTFN
