Weekly Wrap...June 1

What a wonderful week it has been. I started Summer Vacation last week!  Let's take a look!

I love any chance to wear my patriotic headband! I know we actually did more than 4 miles but I forgot my Garmin but my sister kept track. I'm just rounding down!

The remainder of the week was extremely busy with other things so I didn't worry about getting any miles in. I figured that my goal for the month of May was to only focus on the Wag-a-thon.  Since I had completed the Wag-a thon, I would start fresh with miles on June 1st!

And suddenly, it was June 1st! No better way to start the summer than an extreme clean!  I spent the day cleaning my back decks and around the swimming pool. I should have done this weeks ago but knew it was going to take some time so figured I should wait till I'm off.  I'm telling you this story as a cautionary tale!  I was using Clorox Bleach for some areas around our swimming pool and it never occurred to me to remove my silver rings.

Not my photo But a ring like mine. 

When I came in for the evening I was devastated to see my rings were ruined.  I had a cheap-ish Disney ring that could be replaced, but I was really upset about a Tiffany ring that Scott had bought me.   The first thing I did was put the rings in a dish of water with Dawn Dish soap (in my experience Dawn Dish soap fixes everything..haha), than I scoured the internet to see if there was a solution to fixed damaged silver.  I found where someone had used toothpaste on his wife's Tiffany ring and he said it worked.  (It has to be white toothpaste, not blue or green).  I had some Arm and Hammer toothpaste and decided to rub it on a small section on the back of the ring. To my surprise it worked! I was SO RELIEVED!   I finished rubbing the toothpaste on it and then polished it up with a jewelry cloth I had.  It even worked on my Disney ring as well.

After that fiasco, My sister and I tried a new trail and got in over 2 miles before stopping at Dunkin for our Coffee and Donuts for Donut Day!

Saturday was a very busy day but a great day to end the week.  We participated in our first Coffee Date, where we discussed all things Blogging. If you are a Blogger you should really check it out. I'd love to hear what you have to say about it!

Later that day my sister picked me up for a little birthday surprise! I knew we were going on a picnic but I didn't know where. She told me to wear sneakers, what to wear, and to bring my swim suit. I thought we were going to a local beach.  Well, plans must have changed because we did not head in the direction of the beach and I had no clue where we were going.

Turns out she surprised me by taking me to an Amusement park.  I haven't been here in years!

She had a yummy picnic lunch for us followed by a fun scavenger hunt she had planned for me!  Always keeping it fun!

After rides and dessert (peanut butter ice cream with chocolate sprinkles in a waffle cone) it was time for her to take me home to get ready for another outing.  It is so fun having a sister and I feel so lucky! (I hope she feels the same way)

At 6 pm we were meeting some friends for dinner. We always get together for each others birthdays.
We had such a nice time at dinner and I was completely overwhelmed with their kindness and generosity. It's always nice to know that you have friends that care about you (especially as you get older).   -M
