Gilly has been running her Zoomba classes in the park most of the summer, right across from the Grand View.
Gilly (right): Hey, Sindy! Are you joining class?

Sindy: I'd love to but I'm trekking down to the Farmer's Market for some fresh produce, it's apple and pumpkin season now at the bakery. Oh, and I want to thank you, most of your students show up at the bakery after classes! Thanks, bunches.

Gilly: I know the delicious smell from your shop wafts across the street. It's hard to resist. Upside is they have to come back to class and wear off those extra calories.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Sindy: We do have some low calorie fruit drinks, and light lattes. I've been keeping multi-grain zucchini cookies in stock, the cocoa ones seem to be a favorite. I have to scram now...good luck with your classes. Thanks again, Gilly!
Gilly: You too, and class is always free for you if you have time.

Gilly, Zoe and Barbie have a visit after class!
Barbie: Oh, the smells from the bakery---honestly anyone up for a pumpkin coffee or a muffin?

Ha, ha, mine stay slim because they can't open their lips:@) Seeing a bunch of people on the ground outside exercising reminds me of basic training! Happy fall Sandi!
ReplyDeleteHa, Lynn. Basic Training, I went to a YMCA camp as a kid, and they made us do everything the guys did...so I think I know what you mean...! I had them all dressed in June, and then had to pack up the room. At least it isn't frost yet, thanks, Sandi
DeleteMy sides hurt from laughing Linda...Um, the bakery, keeps showing up in the HFIM house so they have to exercise...grins, Sandi
ReplyDeleteI almost killed myself trying Zumba once... even worse when I tried Pilates. The Son laughed at me and said even his Mixed Martial Arts Training wasn't as brutal as Pilates, which seems so easy yet works your Core and clearly mine hadn't been Worked in a long time... mebbe even never. *LOL* So I laughed so hard seeing your Barbies doing their contortions, all that bouncing around at my Age was just not such a good Idea.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I agree with you...and Pilates can be horrid, I've done over 24 months in three stretches of knee therapy with the three knee replacements...and well, each time I do, I find my waste.LOL...Figure that. Bouncing, I'm convinced is never a good thing, lol. Many Zumba moves would be horrific to set-up with the dolls...so I faked it. I really hate seeing doll stands, and they wouldn't stand for all those moves. Hugs, Sandi
