My weight is lower than it has been in years and physically I am in better shape and stronger.  Occasionally, I will eat more than I should for lunch so I will have a can of green beans for dinner.  Tonight Emily was over for a visit and she felt the same way and also had a can of green beans for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Turning the clock back several months, I did a little technical support for senior citizen that was having problems with her computer.  The problem was solved and she said she would get me a pie for my help.  I really did not think about it after that, until the phone rang last night.  She was going to deliver a lemon cream pie for the help I gave her.  I told her that she really did not have to do that and she insisted.  <\/p>\n<p>The pie arrived.  Emily and I looked at it, both of us knowing that we had indulged ourselves earlier in the day and had eaten a conservative diner.  I determine that I would be proper to have a small slice.  Emily tasted the top and then the filling.  She determined that she would also have a slice, albeit, a generous slice.  I determined that I was not to be outdone, and had a second slice.  When life serves you a Lemon Cream Pie &#8211; eat it . . . <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1787\" style=\"width: 440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Lemon-Cream-Pie-IMG00745-20110615-1818.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1787\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Lemon-Cream-Pie-IMG00745-20110615-1818-430x324.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Lemon Cream Pie IMG00745-20110615-1818\" width=\"430\" height=\"324\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Lemon-Cream-Pie-IMG00745-20110615-1818-430x324.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Lemon-Cream-Pie-IMG00745-20110615-1818-1024x772.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Lemon-Cream-Pie-IMG00745-20110615-1818-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Lemon-Cream-Pie-IMG00745-20110615-1818-400x301.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Lemon-Cream-Pie-IMG00745-20110615-1818.jpg 2011w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1787\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lemon Cream Pie<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been trying to get in better shape for the past few months.
