Hello Sneakers
A lovely part of my day is checking messages here to see what is going on with everyone. You are all very valued parts of my life. Thank you.
Jackie, I love the photo. Did you and George play a set or two of tennis? That is a lovely Court. Beautiful sky in the background.
Sandy, meeting day is a busy one for you isn’t it? Sorry no Bingo win. Sometimes when we are playing Mah Jongg and a game goes on and on and we are sick of it well before we run out of tile. We usually say, will someone please win so we can start over? I purposefully discarded several tiles in one game on Tuesday to help a lady win. I knew what hand she was going for. Haaaaa. If only your Bingo game could be settled. The girl in Missouri was not the missing girl/lady from Iowa we have been told. Reward has amped up a lot.
Patsy, oh my, so sorry to hear about your fall. That is something that gives me the shakes. Thinking about falling. We are looking a bit like autumn as well but it is due to the dry conditions I think. I don’t like exercising with a class in many instances but have found Tai Chi and Qigong to be my exceptions to the rule.
Buzz, good for you. So creative and I will add my pat on the back to you for all the cards and invitations you are making for people. You are bringing smiles and joy. Nothing better.
This morning was Library day and we had a nice time. An added extra was that one of our regulars made it in for about an hour. We had not seen her since her surgical biopsy. And actually have seen her little since the first of the year due appointments and procedures. Overall she is doing pretty good and it was nice to talk to her rather than just texting bits and pieces back and forth.
I did nearly flip out though. I was working on some extra ‘marks’ on a journal page and a lady grabbed my journal and flipped through it. It is very delicate and all my finished pages of work ripped loose and fell out. I nearly cried. When I brought it home I used strong Washi tape to try to put it back together. I will never take that journal out again where someone can grab it! And I will never purchase that type of journal again either.
We had a large group of folks around us and one lady was extremely vocal with a piercing voice. We did quite a bit of jumping in our seats! She scribbled several pages of purple marker. Then she licked the table over and over. After that she drug her lower lip across the surface as well. We were a bit horrified and her carer did nothing to stop her. Hope the markers weren’t toxic. Ooooooh my!
Before the Library I did a trip to the grocery store to pick up a free lottery ticket and stopped by Walmart for softener salt and white vinegar. Strange list right? I could use more softener salt but would prefer to find the 25lb. Bags rather than the 40 lb. ones.
Tomorrow, early Tai Chi day and later I am going to have a private session with the instructor. Saturday is an all day paper crafters day at the library. Sunday is church once again.
Not a very interesting life here either I guess.
Hugs.

Hello All,
Ed and I just got back from a great camping trip. Lots of fun. We did a great drive one day on a road through the foothills and into the mountains a bit. The next day we had a wonderful day meeting Ed’s second Cousin way south of us here in Calgary in the Crowsnest area. His cousin is really into history and genealogy. We met for lunch then went to the Hillcrest Cemetery. The site of a cemetery for the 189 miners who died in 1914 in an incident. On the 100th Anniversary they’ve done a great memorial. Very touching but it was so hot I was cooking.
Next stop a tour of an old coal mine. Again very interesting but awfully cold. I wore long pants and a hoody and still froze.
After visiting another relative we headed home. It would normally take about an hour from the campground. However we ran into the remains of a wild hail storm with about 6” of snow on the highway. We were stopped for about 30 minutes as cars couldn’t make it up the hill. Finally someone helped and traffic resumed. Just the other side of the big hill, it all went away. Our campground only had rain. Quite a day.
I hear Anne is having trouble connecting. I just got back but had no problems connecting.
Still having problems with my leg. Got back from camping then headed to my Physio appt. sure hope I get this fixed soon.
Cheers to all,

The Cotswolds are as beautiful as I remembered and with the return of our heatwave my friend and I are taking each day steadily as we potter from village to pub to scenic gardens. After her stroke my friend is doing remarkably well and yesterday she did some driving to gain more confidence. Not sure my confidence was as high as hers but she did great! Yesterday we sat outside in that pub garden with the views for nearly 3 hours (no tennis match!!) before driving on to a gorgeous little village with manor house, church and houses to die for... way beyond my reach but still lovely to just stroll along and admire. We also found a delightful walled garden open for public viewing with every kind of plant I would love to grow in mine and at the entrance gate information about why it is there. Apparently owned and tended by a lady in her 80's who relies on help from her sister and a couple of volunteers... put my efforts to shame but on the leaflet she has offered anyone who emails her photos of plants of interest advice on names etc so later today we will return with our cameras! This is a view from one of our resting spots.

Soon be time to walk George with a neighbour of my friend who has a beautiful Retriever called Brody. She offered to show me around the warren of lanes and walkways... Just as well because otherwise I'd soon be lost!
Take care, especially Patsy having fallen again. I know how it knocks confidence so take things steady. Also sorry to read we lost Anne again. I've not had a repeat of that message either but then I did agree to it then immediately change my password so fingers crossed!!

Trying again!1 -
Hello again. I keep losing my posts. I will try one more time then, if the computer god is feeling cranky,
I will abandon this for awhile.
Jackie: stunning garden! Love the flowers that look like flaming torches. I am so glad your friend is getting along better after her stroke. Scary stuff! I must say that gardening must be in the DNA of English people. They do it so beautifully and we all know it is backbreaking work that heals the mind and soul.
My fall mainly bruised my hip and scared us both. It is such an odd thing. One minute I am getting ready for bed, opening windows, closing curtains, and suddenly I am on the floor in the bedroom. Katie and John were fussing around me. I feel like someone hit me on the hip with a baseball bat. But today, I feel just fine. The bruise is an amazing purple. Not too decorative, in truth.
I feel sure Anne will try to reconnect as soon as she discusses this with her son. We all get nervous about internet tricks and scams. I think we will be okay if we just stay alert to unusual activity.
I am ordering new makeup, a small fuzzy top knot to jazz up my hairdo. I am returning a cute blue jean jacket that was to be accessorized with beads and studs. Cute but poorly made! I am making chili brownies for the weekend. I bake a very small pan of them because servings are supposed to be tiny. These are chocolaty and spicy. Serve with Sunday morning coffee and really great music...Sunday Baroque. Good weekend of fiddling around, not doing very much.
Every day is the weekend!

Happy Friday!
Doing Laundry with the idea of going to see the grand kids when done but my landlord came with his handyman to fix my shower. There was a gaping hole where the plate to the shower was fixed to the wall so they put in another plate and my OCD is now at rest. I also tattled on the new people across the way whose kids destroyed the bricks and mulch under two trees. They just did the mulch last week and it looked so nice, so again my OCD kicked in and told my landlord who is the property manager. I got the weirdest messae on my IPhone, it was a sex text from a number I have no idea. I didn't not open anything and blocked the number but it is a little scary. My computer acted up all morning and I finally have decided it was a Comcast error since all is good now.
I think it is too late to visit the boys today, I will postpone until another day.
Have a great evening.
Sandy

Glad PATSY's bruise is not more serious; falls can be disastrous! I think you do a great deal, so if you find spare time, just lean back and enjoy!
Same for LIN! Your life is anything but boring!
JERI, the camping trip sounds very interesting, but my camping days are long over! You two are such sports!
SANDY, what OCD? Just because holes in your shower wall annoy you,lol? By the way, I'm finding Comcast is filing away perfectly safe mail while letting through obvious scams! And they tried to charge me for one of the service calls they made to fix the wiring to the outside. I hope they believed when I refused to pay!
My eye doctor again told me my eyes are in excellent condition so I'm good for another 6 months! And now, dinnertime!
JACKIE, such beautiful gardens, and I know we'll see ideas from them in your gardens soon! Buzz

Hello friends, I will confess, I have written a note to Anne! I saw a photo of the Dales on Facebook and had to share.
Meanwhile, oh my goodness, Jackie I love the garden and the building behind it. My mom had a couple of those interesting plants I think, she called them red hot pokers. I would imagine there’s a more formal name. Just lovely. Thanks for posting. Glad your friend is doing well. And also glad you and George had a guide on your walk.
Sandy, haaa, I laughed, OCD indeed. I am glad you are getting things fixed up. Wahoo! Enjoy your weekend.
Patsy, still thinking, OUCH. Take your time healing up. A fall just shakes things out of their proper places and also leaves many sore spots. Have Katie treat you kindly.
Jeri, I cannot believe the snow!! I had seen a photo on Facebook a couple of days ago I think and I thought I was being fooled. You know, a photo from last year re-posted as new. But oh no. Now I know it is true!! Continue to enjoy your travels. Any photo you’d care to share would be appreciated.
I am pushy!!
Buzz, enjoy your days. You are quite the sportswoman. Good for you and wonderful to get an excellent report on your eyes. You are always involved in the activities.
I had Tai Chi and Qigong classes this morning, stopped for some tofu and made a snack before setting off for my one on one lesson with my instructor. Always helpful but we seem to do more talking than actual working. I believe she thinks the brain cannot take in too much at a time. She makes me walk around the room when she believes I am on overload. It is what her teacher does. She says she has walked the room many times.
One last stop at the local health food store for a couple of items and then home in the heat of the afternoon.
I am packing up for tomorrow’s day of Papercrafting. I know it is ridicuous but I try to take everything I believe I need as I never want to make a trip back to my house to pick up an item. I hate to lose the time to work and visit with these ladies. I am close to packed now. Will review my ‘stuff’ in the morning.
Have a wonderful weekend. Talk at you sometime tomorrow.
Hugs.

Happy Saturday! A/C is fixed and running smoothly. My landlord and repairman were here for about an hour and a half, they are partners in some units. I don't think the renters before me ever changed a filter, the furnace was so dirty. All is good, only thing left is the fireplace and I have someone coming to look at it when he has time.
It is going to be a hot weekend so today I will go to the pool, to Church and then to visit Babe and Daisy. Tomorrow I "might" go see the boys to give the parents a break. I will take them someplace so they can relax. I think my son goes back to work on Monday so Lisa will have to handle them alone. I am sure she will be texting for some help.
Lin, have fun at Papercrafting, would love to see pictures of finished products. I have sent Anne and the group a couple of emails as well. I do hope her son figures out what to do so she can join us again.
Buzz, as annoying as Comcast is, I still like their service better than others. I think their internet is much faster and I love X1. I am glad you got a good report on your eyes and that you are able to resume exercise.
Patsy, I hope each day is bringing faster healing with your hip. Look at you, getting all pretty with new makeup and fuzzy knots for your hair. I would have to pass on the brownies since I don't like anything spicy.
Jackie, what a beautiful picture! I am so glad you are enjoying time with your friend. How is George liking his first vacation away from home?
Jeri, I too, saw that video on Facebook and couldn't believe it was in July. What a weird storm.
I am glad you made it home safely and enjoyed your trip.
Have a great Saturday.
Sandy

Saturday, mild temps, partly cloudy, great weekend! Even Katie is mellow today. She has been sunbathing out on the deck. I will be joining her for some of my exercises. Too nice out, must do as much outside as possible. I saw more yellow leaves!
I decided to try some new makeup and lipstick color. When I fell, I bite my top lip, so I have a huge hole in my top lip. Not really great looking but I was thinking I look sort of drab. I need some spark. New paint on the old barn! Still old but it looks better.
I have been sketching out some ideas for the new paintings. Why are my sketches always better than my paintings? Or at least they are so different. It is like I changed my mind somewhere along the way.
I understand that small independent movies are taking over this summer. There is a documentary about Mr. Rodgers that everyone is thrilled with. Also one about Ruth Bater Ginsberg called RBG. These films are in regular theaters and it is wonderful that people are flocking to see these real life movies about real life heros. We need to hear about good people doing good things.
The weekend promises good weather and I am ready for almost any thing. Gardening...pulling enormous weeds that look more like trees, washing a few windows that seem to be coated with doggie drool or snot. Bleck!

Just a quick note. Struggled to see well enough to finish some cards today. Only got some fronts finished. All need insides as many are on colored card stock so white must be added. Nothing very nice to share I am quite tired now and think I will curl up with a book and snooze.
Church tomorrow! Which means community duty again.
Hugs.

Hello all,
Yes that was quite the storm we went through.
Ed and I got new iPhone X ‘s today. Still trying to figure out all the new features.
Still having Physio for my legs. I was in horrible pain yesterday but not as bad for most of the day today. Doing lots of stretches. Sure hope I get it under control before our trip to Scotland.
Buzz I’ve been reading about CBD. Sounds very interesting. I think I’ll ask my doctor about it. Actually cannabis will be legal in Alberta in October of this year. I know what you talked about is from hemp I think so it is legal right now. Interesting.
Sandy - sounds like you are getting everything fixed up in your new apartment. I’m sure Lisa will indeed be looking for help when she’s alone with the kids. Little ones are so cute but can be so tiring.
Lin - let me know how Anne is making out. It must be so frustrating for her. Enjoy your Papercrafting. Sounds fun. I will dig out some photos to post. Took some pretty ones while camping
Hi to everyone I missed.
Time to get ready for bed. Have a great day tomorrow everyone

Lately, it seems to take me 20 minutes just deleting all the "ads" surrounding Senior Golden Sneakers! So...Hi, everybody!
Just returned from a delightful 65th Anniversary party! Imagine coming through 65 years of living with someone you've managed to adapt to that well! They had 35 out-of-town guests arrive from all over the states, including a couple from Hawaii! When I met them, of course my curiosity got the best of me so I asked where they live and the answer was Kailua. It turned out they were probably in sight of my son's house right across the valley! Small world!
I noticed tonight (Saturday) on our bulletin board a warning regarding PHISHING emails and the example sounded exactly like the one ANNE received! The ALERT said you will be fine as long as you simply delete it without clicking on anything in it! It appears they are becoming very prevalent!!!
I seem to be missing a page here, but I came online so late I may have forgotten to turn it!. So I'm off to bed and see you all Sunday! Buzz

I'm home! Decided to travel last night to avoid holiday traffic and the heat although still close to 30c when dark. At least this morning after a refreshing shower and walk in cool woods with George I can enjoy my coffee in peace in fact sat outside first thing to eat cereal and listen to the church bells.
My visit to the Cotswolds was a treat and we caught up with so much either sitting in my friend's home and garden or local pub. George couldn't have behaved more perfectly in spite of being unsure of his surroundings and when out and about he received lots of comments from total strangers... 'isn't he adorable, 'we love your dog' to how well behaved he was to which I usually replied 'what, grumpy George?' That brought lots of laughter. Here he was enjoying a shady spot
I've caught up with all your posts and will just add to ANNE'S comments about the messages we are receiving about data. It's not an email but a separate window over the MFP page. I did some research and it appears after Facebook was caught selling users data it was thought
best to be more transparent about the US government also asking them for our private data. They got together with Google and Microsoft to jointly tell them they weren't prepared to do it anymore so now the government has to be honest and tell us. To be honest ANNE if you read this, it's too late worrying about it as I'm sure they already got what they wanted before this came out. The Chinese too and Russians will have us all filed under Western foes LOL Such is our world these days!!
On that note here's me with my friend, a couple of Trump foes.
Happy Sunday everyone

Trying again!!1 -
Good morning sunshine! We are under our proverbial marine layer which will burn off sometime this morning. Just guessing that it will be partly cloudy. It appears we had a sprinkle during the night. Not sure if it did any good for the dry trees but...maybe.
As you all know, I am clueless when it comes to computers or the internet. Anne and Jackie, I am sorry this has happened to spoil our communication. I have had very little real problems but we do have good viral checkers as well as our server also has some protection. This seems to be way beyond any of that. We watch our credit card dealings closely, we don’t bank online. I don’t click on anything unusual in our email. That said, I still feel too nervous to consider a Facebook account. What else can we do?
Our gardening help has disappeared. I think I know why. We live in a community that has a lot of retired or older people. Our illegal migrant workers left the area. So we are slowly trying to clean up for the fall and trying to take it a bit every day. Our property is massive for us two creaky characters. John is pretty fit but he takes on big efforts like trimming dead branches from very tall trees. He is terrifying me.
Jackie: what a delightful time you had with your friend. You both look so cute in pretty dresses and sunglasses. Mr. George is quite dapper, isn’t he? Charming everyone!
Buzz: parties are such fun. We get to dress up and meet new people. I do love going to parties. John likes them for about an hour, maybe an hour and a half. As long as there is music and happy people I am “all in.” John always hovers around the food table with the other guys. He enjoys talking about cars, tools, movies, books but not political books. He generally has a good time at parties. Me too!
We are all connected, I guess. We can all stay alert and also warn each other if we see a dangerous scam. I have learned a lot from you dear sneakers.
Sunday Baroque, chicken salad and fresh strawberries.

Happy Sunday ! I am going to see the grandkids and take the boys out of the house for a while. It is another steaming day but we will be indoors. I am sure I will be exhausted when I get home but it will be worth it.
Jackie, looking great kiddo! Love the picture of George sitting on the chair. I never got a separate window like you and Anne but my instinct would be to delete it. I do hope Anne comes back soon, I miss her.
Time to jump in the shower and get moving.
Sandy

Just saying, these window messages Anne and I get aren't apparently a scam but rather your government now having to advise non US citizens if they collect our online data. Apparently don't have to advise their own citizens they're doing it.... Exhausting isn't it.

That’s interesting. I’m from Canada and so far have received no messages. Do you use the app or access MFP online?

Hello. Church duties are over for the week. I am thinking about rejoining the choir this fall. But only thinking about it. I heard about some card designs that an instructor I like at a shop in another suburb has put together for sale. I called this afternoon to reserve one. Bad Linda!!
I have practiced some Tai Chi again today but really not much. My legs were pretty tired after Friday’s marathon. Haaaaa. But I find I must put forth consistent effort to learn and retain these intricate forms. Good for my brain I am certain.
So, I cleaned some files off my laptop’s hard drive. Many more I need to sort through. Also did a load of laundry and am reading a book. My iPad is not holding a charge for long and I do not have a plug anywhere near my preferred seating spot in my family room. So I am not connected all the time.
I got another letter from my health care provider. You guessed it, they were hit with some type of attack. Employees were scammed into giving out information about their logins I think. Anyway, my health information is out in the wild now along with the several times my credit card info has been stolen, and my email addresses are apparently knows by every spammer out there judging by the volume of ‘stuff’ I get some days. Alexa knows everything that goes on in my house. Luckily, that is nothing. I almost never speak on the phone and no one is here. Haaaa. I don’t think there’s anything else to filch from me.
I have had to agree to new privacy and data requirements from a whole host of companies and have had to re-opt in to many newsletters I do want to see. Three of the overseas companies said it was due to new EU regulations. So there you go, everyone is pointing fingers at someone else. I now have an email from a company who is requiring everyone to establish a totally new login. They have rebuilt a new website and they cannot port over the old user names and passwords as they are not bringing old content over to the new site. I am looking it over but so far have not done anything more. I purchased content from them and I do not want to lose access to it so will likely give in and start a new ID soon. I will say the old web site is not functioning well and loading a video lesson is taking FOREVER.
It is cloudy and we may see some rain this evening. Maybe! We need it.
Jackie, what a wonderful trip. And everyone looks happy. Good decision to head home. Thanks for the photos. Hello George! And my point exactly Jackie, I thought everyone has had a good walk through our lives already and we really cannot protect ourselves much.
Sandy, enjoy yourself. Hope you can power yourself up tomorrow. Where are you going with the boys?
Patsy, I don’t know how many businesses will survive if they lose all their ‘cheap’ help. We will see I guess. I hope the work around the house doesn’t wear you out. Stay safe. That caution is meant for you and John!
Buzz, what an anniversary party. I cannot fathom sticking together that long. Good for them. It takes unique people to find ways to work through all of life’s problems. And then of course many people are not given the opportunity to get that far.
Jeri, trip to Scotland!?!?!?!?!?! Wahoo! Amazing.
Need the move along again. I would prefer to take a nap actually.
Haaaaaaa.
Hugs to all.

Yahoo! I ate well but sparingly at the party last night, sticking with some fabulous prime rib and vegetables and for some reason, this morning I went to the closet for out-of-size clothes and tried on an old but perfect pair of red cargo pants and lo and behold, I wore them to brunch today! RED PANTS! And back down into misses sizes! That's so encouraging, as women's' sizes are $10 more!!!
Love JACKIE's pictures!
Two more women fell yesterday, ending up with broken pelvises! Balance, balance, balance, dear friends; practise balance whenever you can! Standing at the sink. try standing on one leg to the count of 15, then change legs. I'm really afraid of falling and walk only with my walker!
That announcement ANNE got would scare anyone. But hey, if Putin cam hack our government, anything can happen (and does!)
I must get supper together since eating every meal is important, or I cannot lose properly! Buzz

Happy Monday!
Some rain, lightning and thunder to start my day. I have an appointment this afternoon for a complete body scan and no I do not have to get naked. He suggests a body scan once a year at my age. I love the sun so it doesn't hurt to get this done.
I took the boys to Fun Republic and they had a ball. We were there for 5 hours, grandma was exhausted. My son goes back to work today so Lisa is on her own with the three kids. I will try to go to help as much as I can but I have to admit I am pretty busy every week. Her mother lives closer so I am sure she will help Lisa as well.
It doesn't look like Anne is going to return which is sad. I feel secure with my malware protection and my antivirus, with Alexa not so sure. I enjoy my computer too much to worry so here I will stay online.
Enjoy your day and if it raining as hard as it is here, stay dry.
Sandy

Hello, I am doing the busy bee thing today. I drove out to the far away suburb to pick up that card design kit that I mentioned and of course had to purchase stamps. Lovely red rubber stamps of monarchs and flowers. Then off to return some Lands End items at their tiny store within Sears. No clerk there so had to hunt someone down. Next, stopped by a county Senior Center to pick up the August editions of senior news. I got enough to share with my Thursday Library friends. Home to put away a few things, grab some lunch and then off to Tai Chi. I haven’t been to that particular class for a couple of weeks (or more) now. I am having trouble remembering both of the forms. Oh well, I am sure it will come back but I hate to feel that feeling. You know, the “oh my gosh, what is next” blank mind moment.
Sandy, what fun you had with the boys. I think I would still be sleeping in! Haaaa. Maybe it will take two grandmas to look after these little ones!
Buzz, good for you on choosing wisely at the party. Wahoo! I agree, balance is important. That is a great benefit from Tai Chi. I will take it thank you. I hope to do rooster on one leg for years to come.
Well, we all have our issues with various things pertaining to our electronics and connections and access. I am hoping to just hold everything together!
Jackie, do you have lots of laundry to do now that you are home?
Patsy, happy day to you.
Jeri. that is odd that you have not been contacted.
Hugs Sneakers.

Another beautiful day although but now past 6pm. Our usual start with a walk in the woods then a long chat with nice neighbour who returned from Borneo last week while I was away. She supervised a school trip where the students went into forest areas to help the locals build walkways over cesspits and anything else that might make life easier. The hope is to educate them towards sustainable palm oil production rather than destroy all habitat... very interesting and a good excuse to sit under the parasol and chat! Since then I've cleared some cut down conifer branches as I plan to tidy the lawns once it cools. This evening is the last ever episode of Versaille as a 4th episode won't be made. My friend and I discovered we've been following it but neither has ever come across anyone else who does so long discussions about French history late into the night took place while I was away! We also found the spine tingling title music on you tube to download!!
Buzz, so true to remain as agile as possible. These awful accidents happen in a second then whoops, life changes! Red pants... oh-la-la!!
Jeri, as far as I know my access to MFP is the internet. Like LIN I've also had windows pop up about the European Union freedom of information act since they brought in new laws to protect us so am guessing it's going to be an ongoing advice thing. As we now know though it's all just a bit too late. Does Canada have freedom of information legislation?
Sandy, scans aren't a bad idea because we know early diagnosis is best. Hoping you get all clear results of course. I know you love those children to bits but don't exhaust yourself otherwise you won't be good for anything.
Lin, my friend has Alexa in her home but it struggles with her accent and is forever saying "I think you're asking about....." but is invariably wrong. We had lots of laughs when my friend got cross with her and was told "that's not very nice!"
Patsy, you know what they say about forewarned being forearmed so I'm pleased the fact governments are collecting data is now out in the open. It might just make them think twice.... huh, there again!! Your Sunday sounded perfect.
Must get on and decide on an evening meal.
Collecting Scruff in the morning so life will be hectic but will check in at some point.
Take care all..... Jackie

I think I'm back because I missed you gals so much. I will just have to be a good girl and not make comments about certain leaders because apart from that I guess I'm not much of a threat to anybody.
I've spent about three hours trying to get back and hope you all realize it's me from the photo and my name at the bottom of this.
More later,
Anne......the exhausted one2 -
Good morning...almost afternoon. We've got a busy day today. John’s rash is gone but he has a new mole that we need looked a t and máybe removed. it just popped up on the edge of his ear.
it is cloudy today. but since i will be doing a lot of just plain old cleaning, i will enjoy not dealing with heat at the same time. the typing is strange again. halting and odd letters showing up.
we miss everyone when they decide to,move on. i think the sneakers really work for me because i love journaling. and to put a fine point on it, we cannot put the toothpsste back into the tube. our dafa is out there. it is the nature of the internet. john says to use it as a tool for living, be causious and careful but not fearful. we have the same protections, Sandy. we update and we also have apple computers.
i notice there is special title for forums inviting members. if that is something everyone wants, that is a possibility. however i love a small group. i suspect Anne might connect via email from time to time. i am sure Jackie will keep us up on all her activities. we will not let them leave us! just to let you all know, i would be devastated without you.
oh and just to let you know, i did that senior moment thing yesterday. i was wondering around in the heat at the new walmart parking lot. i lost the car. i kept hitting the lock and unlock button to try to find it. the problem was a huge camper/truck parked right beside my car, almost on top of my car. cant wait until the tourists depart. Too many visitors.
Just announced a load of laundry is ready for folding. Off and running.

Ever heard of synchronised solo swimming? A first for me and it does seem a contradiction in terms! I've just watched an amazing Russian swimmer with beautiful bright red lipstick and heavy eye makeup (wonderfully waterproof!) performing in the European championships.... ballet in and under water, amazing!!
Welcome back Anne.... again! LOL
Don't worry PATSY, I'm not going anywhere.
Jackie2 -
Hey JACKIE, it's only the third time, or fourth? Lol.
Hopefully I'm not going anywhere again either PATSY. Well not voluntarily. I am worried about logging in again though. Keeping things open at the moment just in case I lose everything. It was quite difficult getting back.
We are having the most amazing downpour and thunderstorm right now. It's our long weekend as well so all the cottagers will be driving home in it! Maybe things will cool down because we were in the 30s at noon. Jill is sleeping through all the bangs and flashes and we've just had a HUGE clap directly overhead. Hope it's also a bit further north of us here and puts out some of the fires.
Life's been very quiet with no Sneakers to read. So I'm catching up and BUZZ is back in smaller pants, yeah and well done, and SANDY is up to her ears in small delightful grandchildren. LIN is her usual busy self, JERI hasn't been troubled by forms, and JACKIE is back home in one piece. All seems well for us girls,

Hello All,
Anne, so glad you are back with us. You pretty well summed everything up with your comments.
Sandy aren’t little ones fun. I must have been so tired when our girls were young. They are 18 months apart. I still remember being so tired I thought I’d never catch up on my sleep. LOL. Now that was 40+ years ago and I remember it so well.
Patsy. Every time I come out of the grocery store I have a moment of panic. Where did I leave my car? Then it comes to me. But for a second . . .
Jackie - that is funny about Alexa. Ed is always so nice to Siri. Super polite, says please and thank you. So Canadian. There is a joke that Canadians say “thank you” to their ATMs when they get money. I’m not that bad.
Buzz - a new pant size. Good for you.
My stupid leg has been so sore that I’m barely getting in any exercise. Not good for the waistline.
Lin - I wonder why I haven’t got any notices too. And yes Canada does have privacy legislation but maybe not as strict.
Oops. Going out for supper. Told Ed he either had to make supper or take me out. Do guess what we are going out.
Cheers
Jeri

Got out to do some shopping on the bus this morning; wish I could learn to not buy anything that comes in gallon size when shopping on our bus! DARN, I just lost almost the entire post and keep falling asleep and I can't seem to get it back...so I'll hang up for tonight by blowing you all a kiss! Buzz
