Remembering and Marvel Night

 While most were still sleeping, or tucked away doing their own things, Melia and I left to buy groceries, helium and balloons. Today is the anniversary of the day they got, Rocky, a beloved pet.  We stopped on the way home to release a balloon in his honor and to remember. Melia shared one of her funniest memories of Rocky is the time he removed an apple pouch from her back pocket. ::grin:: 

Stiff wind

Melia and I stopped at the Grizzly Family Fitness Gym and the AKtive Bodies.  I've previously visited AK club and Planet Fitness. We were impressed with the customer service at Grizzly. The price, however, is comparable with AK Club and doesn't include a pool or spa or Fly Park. It IS much closer. AKtive body seems to have about the same exercise things as Plant Fitness but no extras. It is 7 minutes from our home. We stopped in and waited 10 minutes and not one person materialized to answer questions or see why we were in the building. Planet Fitness has a plan where we can work out unlimited home and in other clubs around the nation (snort), and have tanning and massage chairs BUT NO SAUNA (a plus for AK CLUB and GRIZZLY) for only $25 a month (maybe $50 depends on if they'll let Melia be my all the time free guest). It's by far the cheapest, they're friendly and helpful without hidden costs...but they are 23 minutes from our home! ACK - we can't decide what to do. I don't want to spend $2000+ for 10 months of gym - even if her homeschool allotment would cover it. We only have $2700 and curriculum needs to come first. LOL 

I came home and got dinner prepared for our crew. Stacia hosted a Marvel movie tonight. Jamin is in town and came over for dinner at a movie.

I had d Group, a pilot program I'm involved in at ACF. It all came together and I was able to get dinner in the oven before I left. Michael supervised the completion. I missed Jamin - he is on East coast time and had gone home before I got home. I enjoyed visiting with those who were finishing up their movie....Stacia, Allie, Melia, Jacob, Lonicera, Nik, Mike, Ash...

Serious story-telling going on here! 

It was a full day. I will mention it's been raining a lot and yet today was pretty much rain free.
