Wellness One Fitness is the best gym in Chesapeake VA. Looking for the bestgymin Chesapeake VA has taken me to visit several of the local gymnasiums. I have to admit that I haven't work out at all of them, but since I exercise regularly, I know what I am looking for. At this time I work out at one of those 24 hour facilities. Although I like the new equipment, and initially I thought that I really needed to come and exercise in the middle of the night or early morning when I could not sleep, I have only done that 2 to 3 times in a year and a half. On the other hand, I miss more the personal touch of a fully staffed gym Health Club . This is one of the reasons that I think Wellness One Fitness is the best gym health club in Chesapeake VA. I was a member of the YMCA for at least 5 years, but at $50 per month per person or $80 per month per family it was not worth it. I truly only used the gym for my exercise and work out but none of the other facilities. When I do the calculations of how much I could have saved over the years by working out at the best gym in Chesapeake VA, reminds me to pay attention before I sign any contract over 6 months with any company for any type of service. I have also visited a couple of those Health Clubs like Curves and Contours, where you just come in for half an hour to do a minor exercise, I don't think I could call it a work out, and found the hours and equipment very inconvinient. I also visited Gold's Gym, and I really liked it, but it is to far away from our smaller town of Great Bridge where I live. I love the fact that Wellness One Fitnessis a family affair where even the youngest son helps with the business. In this difficult economy I feel we need to help the little and local guy not the chain facilities like all the other gym health clubs in the area. The hours of operations are from 5:30 am to 10:pm. So Wellness One fitness the best gym health club in our area, in a couple of months when my membership at my club expires, I will be signing that contract.

Bergey's Breadbasket - Bread, Pies, Ice Cream, Milk,Flowers and More 2207 Mount Pleasant Rd, Chesapeake, VA 23322
Bergey's Breadbasket- The store which sells Bread, Pies, Ice Cream, Milk, Flowers and Morehas been around longer than most people reading this blog. Titus Bergey founded the farm in 1931 and it has been owned by his children and grandchildren eve since. It used to be a working farm, but the City of Chesapeake made it impossible to continue running the business as a dairy farm circa 2007. I used to take my kids to feed the cows, turkeys, chickens, pigs and some times sheep. Now you find a beautiful store with produce brought from local farmers. The milk is from Yoder's, and it is as good as the old Bergey milk used to be. The Bergey's Breadbasket- now sells Breads, pies, ice cream, milk, flowers, candy, honey and most of it locally grown. Every time you visit the store there is a different flavor of ice cream. Around Christmas, egg-nog , and egg-nog ice cream are available. Halloween brings pumpkin ice cream, and the last time I visited (last week) cookies and cream was the flavor of the day. A small menu with sandwiches and soups are served for lunch. The soup of the day is always good, and the chicken salad sandwich is my favorite. Make sure to try their smoke's barbecued ( done locally by Zook's Barbecue) Customer service is excellent, and some days you get to see a female family member with their Mennonite wear working behind the counter. During Halloween season a favorite local event was to go to the farm and pick your own pumpkin. There were horse carriages that took 20 to 30 people at a time to the fields. Plans of bringing this event back is in the works at Bergey's Breadbasket - Bread, Pies, Ice Cream, Milk,Flowers and Morewill always be part of the menu at the Bergey's farm.

Memories of my childhood home - Los Apartamentos _ is the result of Jason's Crouch contest in Activerain. I grew up in the first planned apartment complex built in Bogota, Colombia. Even back then "La Carrera 30" was a busy street. My group of apartment buildings were made with brick exteriors and the neighborhood next door had white walls. We lived n in the red buildings. There were three buildings a 15 story "La torre" (The tower) a group of building with 3 or four stories "Los Planos" ( The flat buildings) and the building where I grew up with 8 floors. ( Can't remember if it had a nick name.) We lived on the top apartment, and as there was a Mezzanine ( The second floor seems that had been intended for.... who knows what) we really lived on the 9th floor. I lived there, until I was eleven, and although it was a small place, and I had to share a room with my sister, as of lately I have been homesick for "el apartamento." I don't know at what point we got a guard in each building, but until then we had to ring the door bell to have some one let us in. There was a an area with grass where we spent a lot of our time as children. My brother and his friends played soccer, and we loved to rolled down a small hill with my best friend's Suzy. There was an underground parking lot, but I don't remember going in there very much. On top of the under ground was the regular parking lot, and on top of that was a terrace where we also got to play. On one corner there was one plant. This plant made popcorn. We would steal the matches to go burn the seeds and they would turn in to good tasting popcorn. Before, I tell you about a true stories of life and death in this time of my life, let me tell you about the actual apartment. To go up you rode what today would be considered a tiny elevator. To go down, I loved to jump as many stairs as I could and get to the first floor before my brother. He is a year older, so I can't think of a time that I beat him. The apartment front door was made of thick blurry glass. There was a foyer where my Mom had the telephone table-chair and a beautiful mirror. To the right was the kitchen with a swing door and past this was the laundry area (no clothe's washing machine for many years) and then the maid's room. Going back to the foyer; if you walked straight as you came in the door behind the large mirror was the living room and to the right the dining room. Off the dining room the balcony. From the balcony you could see the main avenue, and it was a favorite place to throw things at the passer by's. Water and dirt were the favorite items. I can't remember the number of times that we got in trouble because we got caught. Here is where my Dad would sit on Saturdays to read. Going back to the foyer, to the left of the front door was a hall way. It led to the three bedrooms and two bathrooms right next to each other. No Master bedrooms there. The floor was made of a black material; probably vinyl. My Mom carpeted the entire apartment, so that the neighbors downstairs would stop complaining about us children running and screaming. Even the bathrooms had carpet. My mother has always had impeccable taste, so our little apartment was beautiful.
The tower was the corner building bordering the 30th and 26th streets. On the street floors of "La Torre" my Mom had a boutique right at the corner where she sold women's clothing. One day , she heard a commotion, and went to see what was going on. People were gathering and yelling in front of our building, and everybody was looking up at the top of the building. Well, it turns out that my 4 or 5 year old sister decided to take a stroll on the window ledge that connected the windows of our 9th story apartment. My 3 year old brother and me at around 2 years old were following in tow. Of course, none of us has a recollection of this, but the story was told for many years, and people knew who we were because we all survived. ( I believe the baby sitter was fired ).
