Another all time low, without trying? It seems unbelievable, but that's what the scale said this morning. And, last night I had some Java Chip ice cream, yum, so there you go! But I do keep track in my mind of everything I eat, and am so happy that I can eat a small amount of the things I didn't eat for so long and have my weight stay where I want it to be.
Last night, besides eating ice cream, we treated ourselves to a performance of the Harlem Gospel Choir at the MIM. The MIM is the Musical Instrument Museum, a wonderful addition to our beautiful area. The performance hall has exquisite acoustics, and this group set the stage on fire. They set the audience on fire. I loved it when they announced that the Phoenix Gospel Choir was in attendance and all of the members of the audience were the choir! Everybody got in the act with singing, clapping, and we were all filled with joy.
So if you ever have the opportunity to hear the Harlem Gospel Choir, do it, and if you are in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, check out the MIM! Maybe I burned up a lot of calories just being joyful!

187.7 A Day At The MIM!
Today was another date day and it turned out to be more than I could have imagined. We went to the very recently completed Musical Instrument Museum. The website is www.themim.org.
What made it so great? So many things. It is a magnificent architectural space, it is a global/historical collection of musical instruments, you can hear through ear phones the specific instruments being played as you approach each display, the art inherent in many of the instruments is also featured, and it's fun. There is an area where you and children can play a variety of instruments without being told not to touch. I can hardly wait for my grandsons to come so we can watch their faces as they listen, learn, and play some of the instruments.
Oh, one more thing made it a great date! Because of the weight loss and surgeries, I could walk and enjoy this most wonderful addition to the area we live in. A year ago I wouldn't have been able to do it.
So, if you live here, go to the MIM. And, if you need a reason to visit here and you love music, come to Phoenix! What a gift for all music lovers.
