My DH and I had an enjoyable day at LaComedia Dinner Theater at Springboro, Ohio. Twenty- five friends and we saw "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers". Before the show, we enjoyed a lovely buffet meal. A friend said, "You probably won't enjoy the meal very much." I said back

, "Just watch me." It was made for LDL, I think. First, the tossed salad with Mango dressing was served at out tables. Then we helped ourselves to sweet potato casserole, corn, pinto beans, steamed broccoli, pot roast with veggies, Fish, chicken breasts, and baked pork tenderloin with apple slices, and of course all kinds of breads. Another friend said, "You have twice the food, I have."

But, most everyone stopped at the bread table and had a plate of bread varieties. Chocolate cream pie was the dessert. I had no temptation for the bread or dessert. I'm so grateful for the bountiful foods that God allows me to enjoy without weight gain. After the show, we went to The Golden Lamb for a tour. It is the oldest restaurant in Ohio. Many presidents and authors stayed their since it was a huge hotel. The 3 floors of bedrooms, antique furniture, art, and glassware were wonderful to gaze upon. Most of my friends enjoyed an ice cream cone. I had brought fruit for myself. On the way home, we enjoyed McDonald's. I enjoyed a good salad. This morning, no weight gain. I'm still not hungry, but since I'm going to the health center, I will have a smoothie, because I don't like getting hungry, because that was the whole reason, I gained weight before LDL. If I didn't plan, when I became hungry, I usually grabbed a quick fix. The trees in my yard are giving my eyes an amazing treat--dogoods, weeping cherry, and then tulips. What Resurrection power!!! Thanks to my Creative Creator for all of this.
