Exploring Ancient Roman Ruins

Exploring Ancient Roman Ruins

by Ann | Jan 16, 2016 | Feature Italy, Italy, The World, Where we've been

When we stepped out of the car along a roadside overlooking the Roman Forum and ruins, I could hardly believe my eyes. I’d seen pictures of these places in history books, and watched movies like Gladiator that showed these scenes, but nothing quite compared to...

Let us know where you're from in the comments and share your best tips for living life to the fullest in your 50s. I am so excited to celebrate this adventurous, caring, smart and funny man today! Friends from Oklahoma drove in for the weekend and Meghan came from Minnesota yesterday. Our celebration started last night with a steak dinner at home. We'll all go to the Nebraska vs. Oklahoma football game today and celebrate some more with friends and family tonight. Steve brings joy and laughter to so many. He is thoughtful, hard working, and a man of integrity. I couldn't be happier to be his wife and celebrate who he is and what a difference maker he has been in my life and in the world. Happy birthday, Steve. ❤️

A game day tribute to Ann’s dad, pictured here w A game day tribute to Ann’s dad, pictured here with our daughter, Meghan in 2000. Ann’s dad, Bob Shrewsbury, would have been 73 today. Sadly, he died 22 years ago of pancreas cancer just after turning 51. He never experienced the satisfaction of retirement or felt the pride of seeing his children own their first homes. He wasn’t able to grow old with his wife, or see his granddaughter, Meghan, go off to college or become a nurse. But he lived his life with few regrets. He took chances and vacations and he gave away his money, time and talents to others. Having lost both by dad and my step-dad to cancer, I am reminded to not put off the things you want to say or do. Sit still and listen to the birds. Call your grandma. Help those in need. Take the vacation!! Make time to be with your family and friends. And never miss an opportunity to say, “I love you.” Today is a blessing in itself, and for that, and my dad, I will praise God.
Ann got to see some of her high school classmates Ann got to see some of her high school classmates from the class of 1987 at last night’s homecoming game. We were also happy that our daughter, Meghan, got to come home for a visit this weekend and is going to the Husker game with us today! What are you up to this weekend?
Is Sept. 1 too early in the to start making homema Is Sept. 1 too early in the to start making homemade soups? Not at our house, it’s not. Today, Ann made a huge pot of this 100-calorie a cup minestrone soup. (Still working on the recipe) It is packed with lots of fresh veggies, two kinds of beans, and even some pasta. And it is DELISH!!! We enjoyed a bowl tonight with a dinner salad and a breadstick. What’s for dinner at your place this week? #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #dinnerathome #soup #soupseason #postcardjar #soupweather
When Steve and I embarked on our healthy living jo When Steve and I embarked on our healthy living journey in the spring of 2019, we decided to not even think about exercise. We focused solely on nutrition and what we ate. We both lost about 70 pounds in nine months without any exercise. Then we decided to begin incorporating more movement and eventually exercise into our healthy living journey. Because of my arthritis and bad knees, exercise was not easy but I was able to take short walks without too many issues. I started out very slowly with short distances and eventually built up to the point where I can now walk several miles at a time. I’ll be honest, I didn’t like walking at all when I started. It was boring, made me sweaty, and didn’t really burn as many calories as I thought it would. But I kept doing it anyway as I knew it was good for my overall health and my heart. Today, I actually feel great joy when I walk. I like getting up early and seeing the sunrise over my neighborhood. I often listen to the birds, smell the flowers, and just take time to thank God for allowing me to live and breath another day. What do you enjoy most about walking? Follow along @postcardjar for inspiration to take the next step on your journey.
