Thanks Lin. She is a little love and I can't imagine life without Jilly now. I've never had a Pom before so it will be interesting how she develops. Anne.0

First, MARIE, CONGRATULATIONS!!! HOORAY FOR YOU!!!
!!! You'll do it!
Everybody, it's 11:38, and I've had a full day with Mike's Drs (He's doing remarkably well!) unexpected shopping (groceries) and other sundries, and all with my flaming gout foot encased in a hot sneaker (seldom wear closed shoes, but my thongs were killing me). Even driving was painful but necessary. So I apologize for running, but I cannot keep my eyes open! Buzz 1 -
Yay for you, Marie ♥
Love hearing about the pups.
Be well, be safe

Hello everyone! John and his contractor friend are hard at work on the fence. The "razor-toothed, devil puppy from hell" is fast asleep on her morning nap. (Thank the dear lord!) I made a video of Katie doing her devil destroyer performance. Funny and of course John is encouraging this obnoxious behavior! I suspect that it is just regular puppy behavior, in truth. Not sure how to post a video but I will try. As you all know I am not a techie.

Well, I guess my video didn't post. As I said...I am old school.0

For a change of scenery my friend and I walked our dogs round our local lake just after 9 this morning and let them do as they pleased, sniffing, running, playing and jumping into the water. The 3 mile route took well over an hour and was great exercise for us all. On the way home in the car I came upon 6 wayward lambs running on the road so I stopped, hopped out and guided them towards a locked gate into their field so one by one lifted them up and over so they could run back to their respective mums.... my good deed of the day!! Once home I set to and prepared a large pot of bean casserole before going into town for some groceries then watered all the seeds in the greenhouse while Boris snoozed on a shelf. Tomorrow I swim first thing and then the plan is to spend the day in the garden because there is still so much to do. I've found a yoga for beginners video on you tube and had a quick look but the first challenge will be sitting cross legged on the floor with a straight back..... then getting back up of course because I still have a few aches and twinges!!
Already gone 7pm here and lots of washing up to do after the casserole prep so will finish now and hopefully find more time tomorrow.
Everyone enjoy the rest of your Wednesday.

Wow, Jackie, how much do you think the lambs weighed? They are gentle creatures aren't they?
Must get to my nap, again

Hi and 'bye for today! Can't seem to catch up with responsibilities, so I read today''s posts, loved 'em all, and I must go pump my legs! Buzz 0

Hi and bye from me as well. Have to get ready for bingo and it looks like rain so I have to leave a little early. Lisa has a doctor's appointment in the morning, she is spotting a little so say a prayer all is okay. She had the same thing with Robby so hopefully there is no problem.
She won't be bringing Robby until 9:00 AM so I get to sleep in a little.
Will be back tomorrow, have a great night.

Phoebe ~ Those cute little baa-lambs were certainly heavy, I'd say 20-30 lbs each but deciding to be quick and firm with each one I grabbed by the scruff of the neck and put my other hand under the tummy then up and over they went! George was very interested in the smell on my jacket when I returned to the car and then oh dear, when we got home he was fed his usual carrot, brown rice and lamb brunch!!
Off to bed!

Such cute stories about the puppies, makes me want one but we know that will not happen right now.
Too busy traveling here and there.
We got back from seeing Isaac and he is doing more and more funny things to make you laugh. I was
on the floor playing blocks with him this morning and he crawled over sat on my lap amd laid down is head. It made me have tears, so wonderful being a grandma you can't imagine. I guess some of you can, it is the greatest feeling.
Dave is with our friend Bob, and he came over to learn how to change spark plugs on his boat motor and other things. I would like to go for a walk, but dinner has not happened yet and one of our shows
comes on at 8pm so we may not get that walk in.
Dave got the bottom paint done on the boat now and he will be paint matching some spots on the hull
of the boat and then it can go into water and then I will do my part. We are putting in a freezer this year for food so that can be done when its in the water. Not much else to do now but get sailing. The weather today is beautiful.
On our way home from Isaac's we got a call from our friend Tom (who lost his wife a year ago from cancer) and he sold his house to a house flipper. So he will be moving in with one of his daughter's by June.
MARIE - WOO HOO!! great loss and keep it coming. You are well lower than me right now. Great going!!
Shirley0 -
Jackie, excellent workout with the lamb lifting!! You definitely were a Good Samaritan.
Sandy, hope you are having fun at Bingo.
Shirley, your visit with Isaac sounds so lovely.
Buzz, try to get some rest.
Phoebe, you as well. I hope you are getting some sleep.
Jeri, nice to see you!!!
Busy day. Lots of rain. Looking forward to a morning of visiting tomorrow.
Thinking of everyone. You are lovely friends.
Hugs.

Marie, fantastic weight loss. You are amazing.
I am shugging along and that's ok.
My son lost 5 more pounds, now down 75 lbs. He looks great. We went to see him last week in Mt.
This has been a busy week. Looking forward to next week. New young neighbors moved in across the street. They are really nice. He is a tree trimmer and offered to thin ours out. Nice to have good neighbors. I bought them a nice planter with beautiful flowers to welcome them.
To all of you sneakers: I read your posts but sometimes cannot respond, but know I wish you all happy days.
Chris1 -
Yes, LIN, today I will get some rest!
I was way behind on greeting cards this month so I stayed up late to finish the 3 I needed to make, and at 1:30 this morning, it seems I lost my internet access and all that time was wasted! Just finished making 4 cards and will have breakfast and go back to bed, after using the leg pump for an hour. I just don't seem to be able to get rid of the swelling! The gout is not as painful today, so there are things to be happy about! I AM keeping up with you all

Errand day here. Off to get my milk and eggs soon. Will also pick up my friend's milk/egg order and drop it off to her. I'm looking forward to the decaf coffee and girl time when I get to her house. This evening, the hubby and I will be attending a retirement dinner for one of the doctors that my husband has worked with for the past 30 years. With all the changes happening where my hubby is a physician, we're starting to really look forward to being able to retire as well. Wishing everyone a wonderful day!

A beautiful day here in Ontario. I have the capris pants and short sleeve top on. Woo Hoo! I will take it!
It will change on the weekend and getting in 50-60's again. It just doesn't want to stay warm.
I took my walk around the neighborhood and washed some towels. I have a TM meditation meeting tonight and will be packing for the weekend, we are visiting our friends in London, ON and I haven't seen her since Black Friday shopping. She and her hubby went to Las Vegas for their anniversary and I want to hear all about it.
Shirley0 -
Hi!! Chilly and windy here today. I guess at some point over the next few days temps will be back in the high 30's at night. Wow!! Had a nice morning with the ladies. Played a silly card game called Spot It. My gosh, these women are competitive at everything. Lots of chatter and started another complex puzzle.
Am listening (with one ear) to a webinar. Have a couple of errands to do afterwards and then off to the Farmers Market.
Glad you will be resting Buzz.
Enjoy the errands Marcella.
Weather sounds great Shirley. Enjoy!!
Chris, how lovely that you got a gift for your new neighbors. That doesn't happen around here.
Hugs...

Happy Thursday!
Everything is fine with Lisa and baby, God is good!! Short day today, she dropped him around 9am and picked him up at 3pm. I could handle those days although each day he is getting more active so I think the timing is right for me to retire from sitting.
I won 1/4 of the $500 bingo game last night but didn't have a chance at the big jackpot game. It still hasn't gone and with only 11 numbers left it should be very soon. Maybe next week!!!
Today is Daisy Mae's birthday. she is 7 years old. Where does the time go? I will not be seeing her today as I don't leave the house too much during the week except for bingo. Saturday my bingo friends and I are going to a surprise 60th anniversary party. Since it is Hors d'oeurvres
only with a cash bar, we are going for dinner first and will make an appearance for our friend. Her kids are throwing the party so she knows nothing.
My friends were also trying to talk me into a three day two night bus trip to a casino in Iowa but it the weekend before I leave for Florida on that Wednesday so I have declined. I just have too much going on the end of May and all of June. Phoenix, my granddaughter visiting for a weekend from Minnesota, my niece's daughter wedding which is over an hour's drive so I got a hotel room and then Florida. Trying to save up all my pennies to handle all these events.
Tomorrow after Robby leaves I have a girl coming to cut my hair and hopefully I won't be sorry. I still might change my mind but I would at least like it trimmed to lay better.
That's all for now folks!

sandy did you ever get that indoor antena you say you was going to order?it is hot here in Texasphoebe i lost track of you where are you at? Happy Birthday Daisy Mae./0

Marie, I'm home now. Had a busy day getting groceries for a week off. Ended up going to 4stores!!! Crazy. Jim's favorite popsicles are at Walmart, his favorite canned tomatoes are at another grocery. Best prices are at Aldi. When I got home I slept and now I'm ready to sleep again.
So goodnight,
Phoebe0 -
Yesterday was a hot and muggy day but I managed a walk, swimming, gardening and then an evening stroll through the bluebells in our local woods. Luckily George had his summer cut at the weekend so although struggling a bit in the heat he's a lot more comfortable. This morning I've already taken him on a long walk across the moors and am now heading for the garden again and hopefully the allotment late afternoon. Read all your posts and hope Sandy you're happy with your haircut as I know how important it is to feel "tidy" in that area. My hair is so thick it rarely does as it's told! Happy birthday Daisy Mae./b]
Have a good Friday everyone.
Jackie0 -
Is this bad Friday 13th. Phoebe watch out for your blacks cats.
Fixing to set my George foreman up to fix some frozen fat free hash browns for breakfast.. I think I am going to turn into a tater. But they sure are good.0 -
Marie- Enjoy your taters!
I had Yoga class this morning and have finished packing for the weekend. We are leaving soon. The rain is back and started last night.
Happy Birthday Daisy!!
Shirley0 -
Still haven't found my lost time, but I'm curious, SANDY, is Daisy Mae named after Li'l Abner's' girlfriend? I was amazed to read it in your post, as I haven't seen that comic strip in years! You have a huge schedule to manage, but you'll do it well! JACKIE, revel in your thick hair; too many women need a hairpiece to cover the empty spots! PHOEBE, Georgia's blueberries are available now in my Costco. They are unbelievably wonderful! Rest up well; you've earned it! Everybody, I have oodles to accomplish and no time to get it done, so forgive me, please. Back tomorrow, I hope! Buzz 0

Having some family issues. My aunt was scheduled for an MRI this morning. Her son in law arrived to take her. She wouldn't come to the door, he used his key. She was lying on the floor, asleep or unconscious. Long story shortened, I think she was drunk and taking sleeping pills, fell, and went to sleep where she fell. She didn't call anyone, but she had her phone with her. Now, she is in the ER and they are going to do the MRI. She's got mental issues, and I don't want to go on about her. I'm just a bit distracted. My cousin, her daughter, made it clear to her that I'm not going to visit until they sort her out. What she wants is for us to stay with her at home and be her caregivers. No one has time coz we all work and have bills.
Sorry, but I need to vent and opinions are appreciated.
Marie yep, for me Friday the 13th has started bad. The cats are fine, Honey is limping/hip issues again.
Getting to the laundry, three sunny warm days for drying outside. I love that smell.
Phoebe0 -
PHOEBE, my love and heart go out to you! I wish as we all age, we would realize we must not become a burden on the generations following , as the responsibilities belong to us, not future generations! You have been a wonderful niece, so don't feel guilty! Buzz 0

Buzz, thank you. Maybe it's her mental state, and she saw how other relatives in our family were cared for. Every situation is different.
Love. Phoebe0 -
Happy Friday!! I love Fridays!! LOL Not sure but I think I only have Monday and Tuesday to sit but with what Lisa said this morning I might be wrong. Her parents are due home Monday so I sort of presumed they would take over for the rest of the year. I of course, didn't say this to Lisa and she said she will ask her parents if they will watch him Wed, Thurs and Friday. When they were home I watched Robby on Monday and Tuesday so I guess Lisa thinks it should stay that way until school is out. Either way it is fine, I go on vacation next Saturday and will get my energy back.
Phoebe, I am sorry to hear about your aunt and although you love her it really is not your responsibility to take care of her. Is there any way for the family to hire someone to stay with her or at least make daily visits? The next step might be assisted living but then again that might not be affordable. With the family working it doesn't sound like anyone could have her live with them so it might have to be resolved another way. I have forgotten, how old is this aunt? And what a bad day for you with Honey also having some health issues. I love the smell of clean sheets dried outside but I don't have that option.
Buzz, no, I actually named Daisy Mae after the TV show, Please Don't Eat the Daisies. There was a beautiful sheepdog in the show but I don't remember the name. It was our first female puppy and I just loved the name Daisy Mae.
Shirley, enjoy your weekend.
Marie, I did get that antenna but I am not really that crazy about it. I continue to use my Roku so I can watch Netflix because I am not getting all the channels I was hoping I would.
Jackie, the girl is on her way, I will let you know how I like it tomorrow.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Sandy

Phoebe, oh gosh, what a bad situation with your aunt. Just my opinion but I think your aunt needs assisted living. She would have closer supervision, they could make sure she gets any mess she needs, she would get 3 meals a day and the family could worry less. Taking on the responsibility of her care may be what she wants but that is not feasible.
Buzz, I hope the gout goes away and that your legs improve. Hugs. Thinking about you.
Sandy, thanks for the explanation regarding how Daisy was named. Neat!!! And I hope you like your haircut.
Jackie, hot and muggy in your part of the world. Crazy cold here tonight. Temps have been falling since this afternoon and temperatures close to freezing are forecast for tonight. I just covered my pots of herbs and tomato plant. Poor little things.
Shirley, any sailing coming up??
Talk to you tomorrow.
Hugs.
Lin
