At the Gym

I thought this was a pretty fall planter:


On the weekend, my friend S and I came upon a garage sale as we walked. This lady had the prettiest ornaments on sale for very reasonable prices. Some of the pieces had never been used. However, it was time for her to declutter. We had fun looking through the assortment, but the time will come when you have to get rid of the stuff. I'm sure she had a lot of fun collecting them.

And at the gym, our aerobics instructor announced that she attended Whitney Houston's concert in 1986 when she was one year old.  So after class, I said to her 'so you are 30 years old?'  She laughed and said she wasn't, she just wanted to see how many people would be fooled by that.  I told her I totally believed her.  In fact, she is 43, but being a gym instructor keeps you in really great shape!

The planter is very pretty. The gym instructor seems to have a lot of humour, too! Hugs, Valerie

They do say that exercise is the best thing for keeping you youthful and in shape. Keeps your mind active too. Sigh.... I need more exercise.

It looks great indeed. Greetings!

I wonder how many people actually believed her. It's pretty impressive to pass for 30 at that age. Here's hoping I can do it too one day.

Some people can save ten years or more on their face/body if they treat themselves right

Neat planter. Funny about the gym lady waiting to see who figured it out.

Cool planter! I'm just wondering what that aerobics instructor was doing at a Whitney Houston concert at one years old. Who takes a one-year-old to a concert? That sounds like something that would not go over well with a restless infant!

Stephanie, it was a joke, it didn't really happen that way, lol.
